Internet
Enterprise Development
The emergence and widespread adoption of new
information and communication technologies (ICTs) worldwide
since the 1990s has led to a radical re-organization of
companies, an overhaul of corporate strategies and work
practices and the emergence of new types of business
activities. This has required continuous changes in regulation
on the part of governments. In this process, sustainable
Internet enterprise development, supported by a conducive
regulatory environment, has become a precondition for the
continuation of strong economic growth and job creation in
Europe and North America (the UNECE region), as well as in
other regions.
The Team of Specialists on Internet
Enterprise Development (TSIED) promotes enterprise
development in the UNECE region by taking advantage of the
possibilities offered by the new ICTs, including the Internet.
To this end it organizes educational seminars, assesses the
readiness of countries in the UNECE region to the new economic
and technological realities, issues publications, formulates
best practices for use of national governments and undertakes
specific targeted projects.
Government officials, executives of ICT
companies, researchers, academics and NGO representatives
participate actively in the activities of the TSIED. The Team
was established in 2000. The work of the Team of Specialists
is steered by its Bureau, which consists of representatives
from western, central and eastern Europe, the CIS and North
America.
