| contents | Collaborative opportunities for ICTS development in a Challenged African environment Gabriel Kabanda Ingeniería innovation implementation technology diffusion agencies The emergence and convergence of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has remained at the centre of globalsocio-economic transformations. The required ICT revolutionary technological change or productivity levels in Southern Africais a function of both skilled labour (high technical competence) and capital for investment. Technological progress in Southern Africacan be measured as an index composed of measures of personal computers, Internet hosts, fax machine, mobile phones and television,etc., across the various member countries. The paper presents a synopsis of the ICTs indicators for Southern Africa andthe opportunities therein, together with an analysis of technological progress and opportunities for ICTs development in SouthernAfrica. A regional ICT collaboration strategy is proposed, underpinned by best practice elements. The proposed RegionalICT Collaboration strategy largely depends on human resource development, information sharing platforms, and the degree ofdevelopment of the ICTs industry and support services in the individual member countries. The design of virtual collaborativesystems is a useful paradigm for the development and sustainability of virtual collaboration for Southern African countries, so thathigher levels of collaboration may be achieved among geographically dispersed work groups. Knowledge may be shared betweenpeople through face-to-face or through technology, either asynchronously or synchronously, commonly known as virtual collaboration 2008 artículo científico 0718-2724 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84730309 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=847 Journal of Technology Management & Innovation application/pdf Universidad Alberto Hurtado Journal of Technology Management & Innovation (Chile) Num.3 Vol.3 |
