...Statement Access to information is crucial to economic growth. Information and communications technology offer a powerful tool that, if deployed equitably, can ensure citizens are empowered and Government can deliver services more effectively. Information is vital for the efficient delivery of public and private sector product and services that are responsive to the needs of citizens and businesses as well as capacity creation. For a variety of reasons (economic and policy), developing countries like Kenya are less equipped to take advantage of the potential in ICT to stimulate growth, and are likely to fall behind advanced economies. The Kenya ICT Master Plan is therefore not designed in isolation, given that there is evidence from developed countries that investment in ICT facilitates economic growth by increasing productivity. As the Kenya Government ensures an enabling ICT environment and regulatory framework, this plan aims at stimulating the setup of ICT-related businesses to enhance employment creation. At the heart of this document is a strategic intent to develop a robust ICT sector that will enhance economic growth through creation of businesses and hence employment. In the execution of this plan, Kenya will become a leading ICT hub for the region, improve the lives of her citizens and see significant ICT-led economic growth in line with Vision 2030. This ICT Master Plan aims at building and promoting an environment where more service sector businesses are...

...5 The Global Innovation Divide Jeffrey Sachs, The Earth Institute at Columbia University, and NBER Executive Summary Until very recently, science was not considered a core part of development strategy, especially in the case of the poorest countries. While this misconception is changing, as it changes, it is becoming clear that there is not enough of the critically needed science base to solve a lot of the development problems in the poorest countries. This chapter highlights the causes of this divide as well as steps that can be taken to promote a technological upgrading in lowincome countries, whether by the diffusion of technologies from abroad, or by the development of innovative technologies at home. I. Introduction My subject here is the nature of innovation systems in poor countries or, more particularly, the lack of such systems, and why innovation and technological advance do not take place at a vigorous rate in large parts of the developing world. I'm going to identify some hypotheses and research issues to be pursued, very much hoping that the research group at the NBER can take on some of the challenges. I think that the challenges of economic development are not going to be addressed properly until we better integrate issues of science and technology into the basic economic development strategies of low-income countries. Until very recently, science was not considered a core part of development strategy, especially in the case of the poorest...

...eGovernment Strategies The Case of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) This article provides an overview of eGovernment and its role in revolutionising existing governmental systems. It argues that in order for eGovernment initiatives to truly succeed, we need to develop public trust and confidence to promote diffusion and participation. The article relates this to the recently announced UAE eGovernment Strategic Framework 2011-2013. The framework attempts to promote the electronic transformation of all government services within a period of three years. An important component of the strategic framework in question is the use of the existing national identity management infrastructure and the development of a government-owned federated identity management system to support Governmentto-Citizen (G2C) eGovernment transactions and promote trust and confidence on the Internet. Dr. Ali M. Al-Khouri United Arab Emirates Keywords eGovernment, identity management, federated identity, identity card. Government-owned identity management systems that provide secure, unique and tamper-proof digital identities should become a primary component of national eGovernment strategies. Such federated identity systems can gain higher levels of trust, confidence and encourage public participation and has the potential to enable new levels of collaboration between different government agencies.

...Spotlight The Benefit of Expansion into Medical Technology financial crisis 2008 2009 2010 2011 Segment comparison at Agilent 2008 - 2011, in US$ M. Source: Agilent annual reports, Novumed Life Science Consulting In 1999, several business units were spun off from global computer technology provider HewlettPackard to form Agilent, with approx. US$ 8 billion in revenues. This spin-off marked the largest initial public offering in the history of Silicon Valley. Initially, Agilent’s revenues came predominantly from the sales of its electronic test & measurement and semiconductor business units. With its strong ties to the communication industry, specifically the internet, Agilent’s stock was valued highly. Despite this high regard, management decided not to focus solely on its core sectors, by creating a life sciences business unit in 2000. A wise decision in retrospect. The life sciences and chemical analysis units now collectively generate half of the company’s sales, and allowed Agilent to remain profitable despite the collapse of the electronic measurement unit’s profits during the financial crisis. As one of many examples, this illustrates the growing importance of the medtech segment, which is gaining attention of industry groups from various sectors. What factors make medical technology so attractive? Which industries can benefit from expansion into this segment? DEFINITION Segmentation Medical technology is a widely used term but definitions...

We have already experienced a decade of progress in digitizing medical records, as pharmaceutical companies and other organizations aggregate years of research and development data in electronic databases. The federal government and other public stakeholders have also accelerated the move toward transparency by making decades of stored data usable, searchable, and actionable by the healthcare sector as a whole. Together, these increases in data liquidity have brought the industry to the tipping point. Healthcare stakeholders now have access to promising new threads of knowledge. This information is a form of “big data,” so called not only for its sheer volume but for its complexity, diversity, and timeliness...

...needs to do in order to achieve both economic growth and economic development before drawing to a conclusion DEFINITIONS Development: Development according to Todaro (2003,16) “must be conceived of as a multidimensional process involving major changes in social structures, popular attitudes, and national institutions, as well as the acceleration of economic growth, the reduction of inequality, and the eradication of poverty”. He further went on to explain that development, in its essence, must represent the whole range of change by which an entire social system, tuned to the diverse basic needs and evolving aspirations of individuals and social groups within that system, moves away from a condition of life widely perceived as unsatisfactory toward a situation or condition of life regarded as materially and spiritually better. With regards to the above it, is prudent to add that people and social structures should move from their current situations to better ones then you can safely say development has taken place. Economic Growth: According to Schumpeter (1934) economic growth means more output, and changes in the technical and institutional arrangements by which it is produced. Economic growth also entails...
