  Center for Information Development at Harvard University
  Lenguage: English
  
  Provides the most comprehensive documentation to date of how ICTs are being used around the world. Blending visionary commentary with rigorous analysis, the Report addresses the major opportunities and obstacles that global leaders face as they try to more fully participate in the Networked World. Decision- makers face complex choices for which they need comprehensive and reputable information and perspective-these challenges range from telecommunications reform to changing educational needs to new business models to a better understanding of the impact of ICTs. The Report is an important resource that will help leaders around the world deal with these and related issues. Through the development of the first Networked Readiness Index, which ranks 75 countries according to their capacity to take advantage of ICT networks, a series of 75 in-depth Networked Readiness country profiles, and thematic chapters by some of the world's leading experts on the Networked World, the Report provides an ambitious, global panorama of how ICTs are being used, and what opportunities and challenges remain. The vision, analysis and action within the Global Information Technology Readiness Report 2001-2002 make it a unique and valuable publication for policymakers, business leaders and others who make important decisions relating to the Networked World.
