Credits
The majority of the figures in this paper have been
sourced from Statistics New Zealand. Other sources are
credited specifically where they have been used. Some of
the figures are taken from a survey of IT businesses
conducted by Statistics New Zealand and jointly sponsored
by the Ministry of Commerce, Information Technology
Association of New Zealand, Tradenz and Statistics New
Zealand.
Defining IT
As well as the traditional data processing industries,
telecommunications and broadcasting are shown in many of
the figures in this paper. This reflects the fact that
these industries process information using technological
means, and the increasingly blurred distinctions between
these sectors.
