Description
Summary:The dynamics of the digital economy in the US, Europe and Japan are rather different. Some EU countries come close to the USA as the leading OECD country in the new economy, but Japan faces particular problems in catching-up digitally.

Moreover, cultural and organizational challenges will also have to be met.
