This Report Contains The Proceedings Of A Conference Focused On The Information Revolution In Europe, That Was Held In Limelette, Belgium, In April 2001. Participants In This Conference Argued That The Information Revolution Is Following A Somewhat Different Course In Europe Than In America: The Process Of Creative Destruction By Which New Technologies And Business Paradigms Replace Their Predecessors Is Proceeding More Slowly, Europe's Emphasis On Economic And Social Equity Results In A Less Aggressive Approach To New It Business Opportunities Than Does The Winner-take-all Business Mentality In The U.s., And Europe's Top Down Planning Mentality Is Fostering More Deliberate Decision Making. As A Result, The Information Revolution Has Been Proceeding Slower In Europe Than In America, With The U.s. In The Vanguard In Most It-related Areas And Europe Following Along Somewhat Behind. This Is Likely To Continue For At Least The Next Few Years, If Not Longer.--rand Abstracts. Richard O. Hundley ... [et Al.]. National Defense Research Institute.
