- W2110489767 abstract "Online technologies (e.g. transaction enabled websites) are a relatively new innovation, which offers many possibilities for both more efficient and new practices. Where they have been accessible (e.g. within more developed economies) they have been rapidly taken up by both individuals and organisations. Moreover, these new technologies have been viewed by institutions (i.e. governmental organisations) as an opportunity to provide international competitive edge, about which they have taken the lead to promote their uptake. The aim of this paper is to chart these institutional developments and reveal the changing symbolic value of online technologies over time. This symbolism manifests in the claims of statements and the variety of initiatives, legislation and reviews. The account presented is primarily descriptive and identifies events within the EU, UK and Scotland over a relatively short period commencing in the early 1990s and ending around 2005. This period is perhaps a transition phase, which marks the ‘dawn’ of the diffusion of the world-wide-web conceived by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and released into the public domain in 1992. The material is drawn from a variety of institutional websites and official documents. It reveals the perception that these new technologies are important and thus their uptake needs to be encouraged. Indeed, deterministic claims about the benefits of these new technologies, has translated into a series of initiatives to promote uptake as well as legislation to regulate against misuse. Progress has been monitored within the EU by annual surveys. In recognition of inequitable uptake both socially and geographically (the ‘digital divide’), additional initiatives were pursued. Perhaps most significant within the UK, was the formation in 1999 of “The Office of the e-Envoy” as part of the UK Government’s Cabinet Office, symbolising the status accorded these new technologies. However, its dissolution in 2004 perhaps symbolises the view that these new technologies had become mainstream. Within Scotland, separate e-business support was absorbed in 2005 within the mainstream of business advice. Online technologies had ‘come of age’.
