“…Given the potential of ICT to enable innovation, and in accordance with Fong () and Stiakakis, Kariotellis, and Vlachopoulou (), this paper argues that differences in the effective use of ICT and adoption by enterprises can increase the gap between their levels of development and productivity, and especially between larger and smaller companies. To refer to this phenomenon of differences in ICT use, this article adopts the concept of the ‘digital divide’ in its two forms, the “first‐order” and “second‐order” digital divides (Dewan & Riggins, ), which will be detailed in the following sections.…”

“…As a consequence, these authors find that there are broadening discrepancies between SMEs and large companies in terms of the utilisation of ICT and e‐business. In the same vein, Stiakakis et al () and Arendt () show that the diffusion of ICT among companies is one of the main factors driving economic growth. For these authors, the fact that small and medium‐sized companies cannot take advantage of the benefits of ICTs and e‐business makes them more vulnerable to changes in financial and competitive market conditions.…”

“…The data included the daily use of computers for the last 3 months and the average use of the Internet at least once per week. The authors of [23] examined two main dimensions of the digital inequality, which were skills (level of formal education was selected as variable of the skill dimension) and autonomy (population density was selected as variable). Results showed that northern European countries employ more intense use of ICTs than the southern part of Europe.…”

“…Γενικότερα, προσφέρουν εκπαίδευση, χωρίς να παρεμβαίνουν οι περιορισμοί του χώρου και του χρόνου που υπάρχουν, εν δυνάμει, στην παραδοσιακής μορφής διδασκαλία. Παρότι έχει παρέλθει μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα από την εισαγωγή των πρώτων ηλεκτρονικών μαθημάτων στο ελληνικό πανεπιστήμιο και ο αριθμός τους αυξάνεται συνεχώς, δεν έχουν γίνει επαρκείς έρευνες που να ανιχνεύουν τις επιπτώσεις σε σχέση με τις ανισότητες μεταξύ των φοιτητών από διαφορετικές κοινωνικές ομάδες που ενδεχομένως δεν επωφελούνται στον ίδιο βαθμό από τη χρήση τους (Stiakakis et al, 2009). Κάποιες πρώτες έρευνες έχουν δείξει ότι υπάρχουν διαφορές που τεκμηριώνουν το ψηφιακό χάσμα, το οποίο χρήζει περαιτέρω διερεύνησης (Sianou-Kyrgiou & Tsiplakides, 2012).…”
