Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the adoption and diffusion process of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in firms located in low economic density areas. We analyse the relationships between organizational and environmental factors and the firms? ICT uses in order to reveal their communication needs. Empirical work is based on the exploitation of three databases : a national database maintained by the French national institute of statistics and two regional surveys. The adoption and diffusion processes of ICT are modelled by a Heckman model. We show that the determinants of ICT appropriation depend on the nature of the communication needs (coordination or information). Moreover, they depend more on the intrinsic specificities of firms than on environmental factors.
