EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE - Toward a Strategy that Works 'Forever'

Abstract

This paper takes the position that the ICT-sector would do well to embrace an efficiency strategy but argues that a sole focus on efficiency is insufficient. Eco-effective strategies are introduced and it is argued that they presuppose each other.
