Abstract

In the paper, we explore the intensity of IT use in rural vs urban industrial firms. The empirical approach developed here rests on two surveyx the COI survey conducted in 1996 on a representative sample of french industrial firms, and a recent study carried out in 2001 on all rural firms of the Midi-Pyrénées region. The results of both studies show, first of all, that the IT diffusion process among rural firms has been fast. What's more, this process often coincides with the implementation of new organisational mechanisms. Secondly, the results confirm that there is a duality at play in low density areas being located in a low density area represents both an obstacle du IT diffusion -because of problems related to access to information and skills-and a factor encouraging the use of IT.
