电子商务与中小企业:来自意大利部分地区的初步证据
E-Business and SMEs: Preliminary Evidence from Selected Italian Districts
摘要:
关于信息社会的辩论表明,人们普遍同意这样一种假设,即只有在信息和通信技术和互联网的传播使社会经济系统的所有行为者都参与进来的情况下,所承诺的好处才能充分显现。因此,特别强调中小企业的参与,但也强调公共行政部门作为私人倡议的推动者和催化剂。至于中小企业,公共干预既涉及促进充分竞争的电子市场,也涉及解决市场失灵问题。然而,有效和高效率的干预需要关于中小企业如何对待电子商务的具体信息,这往往取决于具体部门和当地条件,在大多数情况下仍然缺乏。为了确定公共干预的必要性和范围,本文集中于一个特殊的中小企业密集型生产环境:制造业工业区,传统上构成了一个成功的中小企业网络的例子,其特点是共同的工业文化和激烈的投入产出互动。本文介绍了来自意大利科莫(纺织业)和Lumezzane(金属加工业)区的经验证据。研究结果显示,积极进取的企业家正在创造性地探索互联网提供的机会,以促进他们的业务。然而,向互联网经济过渡的潜在参与者的比例仍然很低,这一点也很清楚,需要采取机构行动,以促进更大的参与。
英文摘要:
The debate on the Information Society shows large agreement on the assumption that the promised benefits will fully display only if the diffusion of ICTs and the Internet will involve all the actors of the socio-economic system. Accordingly, special emphasis is put on the participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), but also on public administrations (PAs) as promoters and catalysts of private initiatives. As for SMEs, public intervention concerns both the promotion of fully competitive e-markets and the solution of market failures. However, effective and efficient intervention requires specific information on SMEs' approach to e-commerce, often depending upon specific sector and local condition and in most cases still lacking. In order to identify the need and the scope for public intervention, the paper focuses on a peculiar SMEs-intensive productive environment: the manufacturing industrial district, which traditionally constitutes an examples of winning SMEs' network, characterised by common industrial culture and intense input-output interactions. The paper presents empirical evidence from the Italian districts of Como (textile industry) and Lumezzane (metalwork industry). The research results show that pro-active entrepreneurs are creatively exploring the opportunities offered by the Internet to promote their businesses. However, it is also clear that the transition to the Internet economy still involves a reduced percentage of potential participants, and that institutional actions are needed in order to foster a larger participation.
