The aim of this thesis has been the examination of the productivity growth patterns through the process of structural change and within sectors productivity improvements for Finland over the period of 1975 to 2011. By connecting theories of “General Purpose Technologies”, “Creative Destruction”, and “Techno-economic paradigm” with the ICT emergence, the notion of ICT intensity sectors had emerged that implies that labour is oriented towards the more productive ICT sectors. The main findings have been that the structural change process had not been as conductive to productivity growth as the within sectors productivity developments and that the reallocation of resources are not occurring largely towards the ICT intensive sectors. Lastly, despite the fact that the ICT producing sector had been the most productive sector in the Finnish economy, labour was oriented largely to the less intensive ICT sectors
