Foreword
Information technology is rapidly changing all types of industries and services. It is becoming necessary to be fit for competition. It is inducing new business practicessuch as outsourcing, delayering, lean production, Just-in-time procurement, customization and flexible manufacturing. These practices will increasingly influence how countries will participate in global trade in services and manufacturing. Developing countries must keep pace with this fundamental and pervasive technological change.
This study responds to a need to examine the role of information technology applications in the Bank's lending, the economic payoff of such investments, and ways and means to enhance their developmental impact.
A major finding of the study is that information technology lending is now an extremely dynamic business area for the Bank, growing at six times the growth rate of total Bank lending, and present in 90 percent of lending operations. A set of core competencies Is emerging, which blends the Bank's traditional concerns with macroeconomic and project management with the power of specialized applications of information technology. When best practices are adopted, the study demonstrates dramatic productivity increases and major qualitative improvements from modest investments in information technology components.
But the study also indicates that common practice in applying information technology still falls far short of best practice. Spearhead examples were often the product of "skunk work". A more proactive role is suggested, to avoid common pitfalls in applying the new technology, to ensure sustainability of investments in improved information systems, and to capture opportunities to build local capacity and diffuse best practice more widely among developing countries. The study recommends measures to enhance institution-wide management and learning, and to improve borrowers' and task managers' practices in developing information and communication systems.
