This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Inhaltsangabe:Abstract:The current wave of globalisation the trend towards worldwide integration of markets is spurred by the development of ICTs, including the Internet (Miria Pigato, 2001). But there exists founded concern whether this development reaches Less Developed Countries (LDCs).Technological transformations, such as Information Communication Technology (ICT), open new possibilities in various areas. With a rapid technological development the world faces the challenge to match the pace of technological innovation with national and global policy innovation.This paper will analyse the following hypotheses:1. Internet connectivity has potential to promote economic growth and support sustainable development for LDCs.2. The application of the Internet technology carries risks for LDCs.3. Successful application of Internet technology requires appropriate sustainable policies and strategies.The analysis is based upon literature review of economic and development theories, literature about ICT in development with particular focus on the Internet, country and development related information, and statistical data focussing in particular on South Africa and Uganda.Inhaltsverzeichnis:Table of Contents:INTRODUCTION61.OVERVIEW - LITERATURE REVIEW112.THE INTERNET AND E-BUSINESS202.1Internet202.2E-Business212.3Internet Connectivity - Indicators223.ECONOMIC BENEFITS273.1Global proximity, global business networking273.2Communication and information retrieval283.3E-business opportunities for on-line trade324.RELATION BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND INTERNET CONNECTIVITY344.1South Africa - Regression analysis354.2Uganda - Regression analysis384.3Comparison South Africa versus Uganda395.RISKS AND CONSTRAINTS FOR LDCS415.1The Digital Gap / Divide415.2Constraints and the widening gap in LDCs435.3Barriers and limitations for E-business515.4Policies to overcome constraints, barriers and limitations536.CONCLUSIONS587.APPENDIX607.1Appendix - South Africa Statistical Data607.2Appendix - Uganda Statistical Data70BIBLIOGRAPHY80Diplomica Verlag, Hermannstal 119k, 22119 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.…
