Abstract

In this paper, we explore the intensity of ICT use in rural vs. urban industrial firms. The empirical approach developed here rests on two surveys: the COI survey conducted in 1997 on a representative sample of French industrial firms, and a recent study carried out in 2002 on all rural firms of the Midi-Pyrénées Region. The results of both studies show, first of all, that the ICT diffusion process among rural firms has been fast. What's more, this process often coincides with the implementation of new organisational mechanisms. Secondly, the results confirm that there is a duality at play in low density areas: being located in a low density area represents both an obstacle to ICT diffusion – because of problems related to access to information and skills – and a factor encouraging the use of ICT.
