Re: [DDN] Research on Community Technology needs - request for links to articles
In the Fall of 2001 PolicyLink (www.policylink.org) published a report titled Bridging the Organizational Divide: Toward a Comprehensive Approach to the Digital Divide. It may still be on their web site. The gist of this was that non profits are further behind business in strategic uses of technology because of a lack of funds to invest in innovation. That would be most true in small non profits where there may be great ideas, but there are few dollars and not enough volunteer hours or talent to implement the great ideas.
