本文是对65家企业的调查结果,主要报告了开创性企业与它们的信息技术使用之间的关系。越新兴、越小型、越是开创性的企业越倾向于把焦点集中在适合自已的市场上。他们对销售的增长和技术的优势比利润更关心。经过六年的研究,有迹象表明,开创性企业比其它企业采用战略信息技术更早,使用这种技术更持久。 This article is the result of a survey of 65 companies and mainly reports on the relationship between pioneering companies and their use of information technology. The more emerging, smaller, and more groundbreaking companies are, the more likely they are to focus on their own markets. They are more concerned with sales growth and technological advantages than profits. After six years of research, there are indications that pioneering companies use strategic information technology earlier than other companies, and use this technology more lasting.
