Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on new service development
While developed countries have long begun using ICT for service innovation, many sub-Saharan African nations are still lagging behind in the use of ICTs for new service development (NSD) because of knowledge gap caused by lack of studies conducted in this area in the continent. Thus, this study atte...
