[Abstract]
There exists a manifold of causal linkages between information and communications technologies (ICT) and social sustainability. In this article, those linkages are classified into three: directly improving corporate productivities, changing behavior of people/organization, and improving decision-making capabilities of the society. The authors introduced a framework that is designedin order to analyze the first two of the three linkages, and conducted a questionnaire survey. Findings include a continuous growth trend of Japanese ICT investment with sectoral variations, which may explain the sectoral differences in micro-level benefits, and a statisticalystatistically significant evidence confirming ICT's contributions on corporate operations but not on environmental issues.
