Abstract

The discussion on innovation and the adoption of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their impact on economic growth and development have flared up in the past few years. This debate has become increasingly relevant in emerging countries like Argentina, which, in spite of high economic growth rates in the last decade, has been facing the challenge of quality employment creation. This chapter analyzes the impact of the ICT diffusion process in Argentine companies from a firm-level employment, innovation capabilities development, and knowledge management approach. Recent findings support the linkage between different firms’ ICT adoption patterns and the development of innovation capabilities, employment dimensions, and knowledge management practices. These results provide evidence to think and develop new productive and technological policies.
