London: Macmillan.
Portea,1990,’ In summary, then, Porter’s theory of competitive
advantage is a tool of demonstrated value to ICT4D
researchers. It can be applied to research on any IT
sector and to a variety of research questions about
past, present, and future performance of that sector,
including issues of poor performance, comparative
performance, and strategic actions to improve performance.
It does require some modiªcations to account
for the speciªc realities of IT sectors in
developing countries, but these do not undermine
the central research value of the theory. ‘,Information Technologies and International Development, Volume 3, Number 3, Spring 2006 ,pp.31
