Abstract: | This research aims to define a national strategy model for information technology (IT) development in developing countries and to apply the model in a real case for Iran. The research is structured around a three-dimensional configuration of strategy development process. These dimensions are key technologies, socio-economic sectors, and applications. The model is a multi-criteria decision making. To solve the model and to select a set of IT application flagships in different budgeting levels, there is the PROMCALC and GAIA decision support system used. By allocating 1 per cent of GDP, four major IT applications for investing are identified. E-education, e-research, e-office and e-information services were ranked as highly important for the realization of long term objectives in the economical, social and cultural development of the country. |
