The Information Society and the Welfare State - The Finnish Model (Hardcover)

Finland has moved into the limelight of the information and communication technology world (ICT) with outstandingly successful companies, the highest diffusion of ICT, and remarkable rates of innovation. Yet its social and cultural values and institutional arrangements are in marked contrast to Silicon Valley, another and better known model of an innovative region. In this book the authors explain the features and context of the Finnish Information Society.
