Yin Xingmin[1]
Abstract: This paper examines the demand of IT market and IT usages by Chinese firms during the IT booming in past five years. After decomposing the IT market into hardware and software use and adoption, I find that the IT industry experienced a rapid growth rate and the IT hardware played an absolute leading position with over 70% of the market share. For whole China’s business society, the informationization level has been improved a lot based on the continuous investment increase on IT products since 1998. Moreover, the application of IT and e-commerce in Chinese firms is in the beginning stage, but the popularity is quite fast.
Key words: IT, Chinese firms, internet, e-commerce
