Defining and Assessing the Impact of Information on Development. Building Research and Action Agendas

Abstract

This is the final monograph published for what has been perhaps the largest and most complex research investigation ever attempted on the far-reaching impacts of information and information resources on the political, economic, and socio-cultural development processes in developing countries. A special focus of this research has been to try and answer the question: Can information resources help decision-makers make more enlightened decisions, especially as regards the development process? 'Decision-makers' for the purposes of this investigation is defined quite broadly, and is not limited to just senior level officials.This is the final monograph published for what has been perhaps the largest and most complex research investigation ever attempted on the far-reaching impacts of information and information resources on the political, economic, and socio-cultural development processes in developing countries.
