Abstract
MIT CISR has found evidence of a new digital divide, this time between emerging and developed economies. We observed that in 2012, companies in emerging economies spent a larger percentage of revenue on digitization, and were faster to market with new offerings and performed better than peers in developed economies. Our findings are based on a survey of 354 companies in 19 countries. Our sense is that developing-world firms have more effectively applied the lessons learned about digitization. In this briefing we explore the differences in investment levels, degree of digitization achieved, management capability, operational impacts, and bottom-line impacts between emerging markets and developed economies.
