“Despite the ubiquity of ICTs, economic productivity growth has disappointed in many countries across the world during this decade. What economists have termed ‘the productivity puzzle’. Huawei’s research with the London School of Economics and Political Science suggests that the major reason for this is an implementation lag as in previous industrial revolutions. Rather, we predict a productivity resurgence powered by new super innovations in 10-15 years’ time,” stated Mr. Williamson.
