Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel method for measuring the utilization of information resources (IRs) in order to provide a complementary index for existing information development indices and to reveal the links between the use of IRs and the readiness of ICT. Design/methodology/approach – This research mainly employs three types of research methodologies: literature study was conducted for defining the term of IRs and for finding the common features of the relevant indices; methods to construct composite indicators are used for developing a theoretical framework, selecting variables, imputation of missing data, normalization of data, weighting and aggregation of the novel index; a case study is carried out to provide a typical application for the index and to reveal the underlying links between the use of IRs and the readiness of ICT. Findings – This paper for the first time proposes a method to measure the utilization of IRs from a Chinese perspective and provides its theoreti...

信息资源利用指数:以中国为例

目的-本文的目的是介绍一种新的方法来衡量信息资源(IRs)的利用率，以便为现有的信息开发指数提供一个补充指数，并揭示IRs的使用与ICT的准备程度之间的联系。设计/方法/方法-本研究主要采用三种研究方法:通过文献研究来定义IRs的术语，寻找相关指标的共同特征;构建复合指标的方法包括建立理论框架、选择变量、缺失数据的归因、数据的归一化、新指标的加权和聚合;我们进行了一个案例研究，以提供指数的典型应用，并揭示指数的使用与信息通信技术的准备之间的潜在联系。研究发现:本文首次从中国视角出发，提出了一种衡量红外光谱利用的方法，并提供了理论依据。
