The ability to harness Information Communication Technologies
(ICTs) is increasingly at the heart of competitiveness and
sustainable growth. As countries engage in an increasingly
competitive global economy, they are trying to weave ICT into their
development strategies, in the same way enterprises have learned to
use ICT to transform their business models and strategies. This
integration offers a new path to development that is responsive to
the challenges of our times.
In National Strategies to Harness Information Technology, Nagy
Hanna and Peter Knight provide a framework for assessing the
opportunities, challenges, and prospects for "e-transformation"and
for analyzing the options and innovations adopted to manage the
e-transformation process. They ask hard questions: what does it
take to harness ICT to transform an economy? Why some countries
accelerate their development journey with ICT while others fail?
How did successful countries balance the need for strategic
leadership with bottom up innovation? Can countries reduce the
risks of digital divide? What have been the roles of government and
private sectors? What lessons can be learned for countries at
different levels of development?
Featuring contributions from country experts, the editors and
authors provide in-depth case studies of ICT deployment in
Singapore, Finland, the Philippines, and South Africa, and asses
the progress of such efforts. The result is an essential resource
for academic researchers, policy analysts, policymakers, and
industry leaders interested in the role of ICT in national
development, innovation, and economic growth.In National Strategies
