Abstract

?This article aims to identify the factors responsible for the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in enterprises in a developing country. The use of an instrumental variable model on Cameroon data allows us to correct the bias caused by the simultaneous adoption behaviors of ICTs and organizational practices suggested in the theory of supermodularity. In addition to the traditional determinants (organizational practices, size, legal status, competition and proximity effects), our findings highlight the importance of the leader (its human capital and its nationality), a role often neglected in the literature on the adoption of ICT in enterprises. These results allow us to draw some lessons for the development of an ICT diffusion policy not only in Cameroonian enterprises, but also in other similar developing countries that have a weak process of ICT diffusion.?
