Abstract

This study attempts to identify information sources and types that firms obtain through ICTs for their R&D and other innovative activities. For the empirical study, a structural equation modeling is applied to a questionnaire survey data conducted in Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam in early 2016. The estimation result show that (1) firms who have a higher capacity of ICT uses for internal knowledge on customer/market and product/production technologies tend to have higher capacity of ICT uses for adopting external knowledge on technologies, (2) these ICT capacities help firms to achieve product innovations, and (3) ICT capacities to use internal knowledge on customer/market and external knowledge on technologies are more important for firms to introduce new products than ICT capacity of using internal knowledge on technologies.
