Information Technology and Development: Moving Away From A Magical Vision

Subhash Bhatnagar

Journal of Global Information Technology Management, 1999, vol. 2, issue 1, 3-9

Abstract: The paper critically examines the role that information technology can play in catalysing economic activity, in administrative reforms and in developing human resources. Learning from the experience of India and several other developing countries which have made special efforts to step up IT investments, the paper attempts to define a perspective with which developing countries can plan investments in IT and its successful integration with the development process. It counters the view of technology enthusiasts who believe that information technology can assist in every aspect of development and that it is the panacea for developing countries.
