E-Development: From Excitement to Effectiveness
Details and verbal exchange applied sciences (ICTs) are more and more being well-known as crucial instruments of development—tools that may empower bad humans, increase talents, raise productiveness and enhance governance in any respect degrees. The good fortune of ICT-enabled improvement (or e-development) will therefore now not be measured by way of the diffusion of expertise, yet via advances in improvement itself: monetary progress and, eventually, success of the Millenium improvement ambitions.

In an informal survey covering 299,995 Chinese industrial enterprises for the period 2004–06, the NBS found that 53 percent of the large enterprises, 86 percent of the medium-sized ones, and 96 percent of small ones did not engage in continuous R&D activities. As a result, the overall capacity for technology creation by domestically funded Chinese enterprises is weak despite the presence of some catch-up momentum. The problem can be seen in part in the relatively low share of invention in total patents granted by the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office in comparison with foreign firms.
The conversion process has created some successful innovative enterprises. b In 1998, the academy established its flagship business company, Datang Telecommunication, and conducted an initial public offering of stock (IPO) in that company. The academy itself was transformed into a business holding company, with its business arms organized into a conglomerate known as the Datang Telecom Technology and Industry Group. 1 (Continued) Also in the late 1990s, the government identified a group of RDIs that it said could not be expected to be self-sufficient.
