Abstract

There has been much discussion of global integration of business activity which has been facilitated in part by information and communication technologies (ICTs). The process of globalization is complex and its implications are not fully understood. While its outcomes are debated from social, political and economic perspectives, the role of ICTs is treated largely as neutral and facilitative. This chapter argues that far from being neutral the technologies of ICT embody culture and hence are carriers of social, economic and political change.
