The project will (1) assess the efficiency and effectiveness of investments in information technology (IT); (2) identify the organizational and IT management practices associated with achieving greater value through IT, and (3) disseminate result in academic, business and policy circles. These issues will be addressed at firm, industry, and country levels, based on several large, detailed, longitudinal databases that will be coupled together for more robust analysis than was heretofore possible. The study will include data on IT in five to 15 industry sectors in 50 countries from 1980-95, and on 200 large US firms for the 1990-95 period. Existing databases will be updated annually, and new databases will be built. The study will shed new light on whether, how, and why IT makes a difference in effectiveness and efficiency across a global spectrum of use, helping to clarify our understanding of the well-known "productivity paradox". It will produce a definitive body of research that uncovers the potential payoffs from IT investment and illuminates the mechanisms by which they can be harnessed.

该项目将 (1) 评估信息技术 (IT) 投资的效率和效果； (2) 确定与通过 IT 实现更大价值相关的组织和 IT 管理实践，以及 (3) 在学术、商业和政策界传播结果。这些问题将在公司、行业和国家层面上得到解决，基于几个大型、详细的纵向数据库，这些数据库将结合在一起进行比以往更强大的分析。 该研究将包括 1980-95 年期间 50 个国家 5 到 15 个行业部门的 IT 数据，以及 1990-95 年期间 200 家美国大型公司的数据。现有数据库将每年更新，并且将建立新的数据库。该研究将为 IT 是否、如何以及为何在全球范围内的使用范围内改变有效性和效率提供新的线索，有助于澄清我们对众所周知的“生产力悖论”的理解。它将开展一系列明确的研究，揭示 IT 投资的潜在回报，并阐明利用这些回报的机制。
