 The situation of electronic, information and communications technologies in France: current trends and future prospecWorking Papers from HAL Abstract: There is a widespread consensus among experts as to the crucial importance of what are known as the "new information and communications technologies" (NICTs) for economic growth and employment in a new millennium characterised by the onward march of economic globalisation. Undoubtedly, the areas of activity subsumed under the general NICT heading seem much broader than the definitions adopted for the international surveys associated with the Denki Rengo. However, there is enough overlap between the various areas for them to serve as a backdrop to this report on the French situation in these sectors. The report will deal in succession with the following points : 1. some observations on the definition of the technologies as a whole and their "comparability" across countries ; 2. the French situation in the electronics, computer and telecommunications sectors, together with future trends ; 3. the evolution of employment in the various sectors ; 4. the industrial relations situation in these sectors : recent developments and new issues ; 5. some findings from the Audit of french firms.
