Reflexivity, modelling and weak signals of transformational tracks to support both micro- and macro-measuring of information society services

Abstract

Attempts have been made to measure the Information Society, globally or partially, ever since computing and telecommunications became ICTs, some twenty to thirty years ago. The least we can say is that it has not been easy. Though this complexity lessens when measuring specific features for local appraisal goals or benchmarking them within a broader framework, measurement of the socio-economic value of ICTs is particularly controversial. Here the challenge is not only to count possessions, connections or usages, but assess to what extent ICT investments trigger new valued added and increase overall performance.
