LOPEZ, Pablo  y  ROSADO, Luis. What can Latin America learn from ict development in the Asia Pacific?. rev. econ. Caribe [online]. 2013, n.11, pp.1-34. ISSN 2011-2106.

This document argues that manufacturing must evolve applying technologies that bring it closer the technological frontier. In the markets globalized environment, industrialization is only possible if information and telecommunications technologies (ICT's) are applied. ICT's not only apply similar functions as services, trans-port, education and banking (as e-mail, for example) also works as production tool in manufacturing. However, only accelerated expansion in manufacturing is able to induce e-business into sustainable growth. It's concluded that agglomeration activities of ICT's in Northeastern Asia, had effects on the Asian Corridor and this can provide lessons to Latin America, about ICT's mar-ket dynamics, vertical integration, economies of scale and scope, diversification, learning and technological transfer.

Palabras clave : technological learning; manufacture; Informatic and Communications Technology (ICT); business models; entre-preneurship; structural change.
