El porqué de este blog.

Con mi algo de experiencia profesional en comercio internacional y algo más en el uso de la información que se hace en este campo, quiero recoger en este blog aquellas opiniones, argumentaciones o diagnósticos que nos aporten más conocimiento en materia de IEI.
Y continuar así mi recorrido por la Inteligencia Económica que empecé allá por 1996, en París.

Estoy convencida de que la Inteligencia Económica Internacional es una potente herramienta para reforzar la competitividad de las empresas españolas, de los profesionales y de los expertos públicos o privados en el campo del comercio internacional.

Espero compartir opiniones, debates y propuestas, siempre con un enfoque abierto a los escenarios globales.
Y no sólo en este blog: espero también en ASEPIC, Asociación Española para la Promoción de la Inteligencia Competiva, de la que soy socio individual (www.asepic.com.es).

¿Competitividad en ICT?: en España, las empresas menos. UE, agosto 2009

(ICT = information and communication technologies)

"25. SPAIN
Spain scores well in the areas of eGovernment services and availability for citizens and businesses and in some broadband indicators. However, general ICT usage by businesses and households is still below the EU average and progress is slow. The 'Avanza Plan', the national ICT strategic plan, is expected to fill the gap with the European Union: the plan comprises a series of specific programmes focused on citizens, companies, the digital context, digital public services and the eAdministration. Since the end of 2008, the implementation of the 'AvanzaDos Plan' has begun with new strategic lines for developing the information society for the period up to 2012. Specific initiatives have been taken for boosting infrastructures and provide IT equipments to schools and universities.

Broadband
DSL coverage in Spain further increased, but broadband penetration remains below average. The connectivity of households is lower than average as well, both for broadband and narrowband connections. Enterprises on the other hand are better connected and Spain ranks in second place in the EU. A significant share of broadband subscriptions (the fourth highest in the EU) features speeds above the 2 MB/s threshold.
Spain scores well in mobile connectivity indicators. The take-up of 3G even is the second highest
in Europe (after Sweden) and wireless solutions have been deployed in rural areas.

Internet Usage
Spanish citizens are not heavy internet users. The shares of both regular and frequent internet
users in the population are significantly below the EU average, resulting in a 19th and 20th place
respectively. For the take-up of internet services, Spain is not a frontrunner either. A lot of
indicators are below average and show low rankings. Exceptions are: doing online courses,
reading newspapers online and online media consumption or downloading.
The take-up of eGovernment services by citizens is in line with the EU average.
But for the use by enterprises, Spain is one of the lowest ranking countries. The high online availability of services for both citizens and enterprises is thus not reflected in the adoption.

ICTs in the Economy
For eCommerce, Spain ranks in the middle part of the EU ranking, with all three indicators below average.
For eBusiness, the picture is mixed, as the country scores average for some indicators
(suggesting a more intensive take up by large enterprises), and poorly for others (exchanging
automatically documents with customers and suppliers and sanding/receiving e-invoices).
The ICT sector is not particularly important for the economy (3,8 % sector share of total GDP 2006) and eSkills, both user and specialist levels, are below average."
