摘要:This paper looks to fill an international gap in knowledge about the adoption of
information and communication technologies by third sector organisations with a
specific focus on the Australian experience. In Australia, the United Kingdom, USA, and
Canada, such research that exists into the usefulness of the spread of ICT into
community-based organisations, is limited in its coverage and its tendency is to rely on a
management approach to analysis. This paper summarises findings of recently published
surveys, compares their findings, and proposes the use of social network analysis as a
more useful lens through which to consider current developments.
