Question: What is Development in ICT4D?






Development in ICT4D Literature is as below:

Development in ICT4D can be categorized into three Scopes and they are as below:
1.      Development Scope 1:  Geographic- and agenda-specific development – particular progressive changes in a developing country. We can divide society into its four components: Government, Civil Society (including NGOs), Citizens, and the Private Sector. In development scope 1, ICT4D has helped Governments all around the World to improve and combat corruptions through the effective use of ICT4D in areas such as: Taxes collection, Health delivery systems, platform that presents transparency between Government, Civil Society, Citizens and the Private Sector, etc.

2.      Development Scope 2: geographically specific development – any progressive changes in a developing country through the use of ICT4D are attributed to development scope 2. For example, in Africa the use of mobile phone by farmers to check their crops and also engage into commercial activities with customers are seen as a milestone in the ICT4D arena.


3.      Development Scope 3: generic development – any progressive change in a society (for    the moment, for example, from analog to digital technology, etc. can be seen as an improvement or development through ICT4D.

Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory

Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory is a framework for cross-cultural communication , developed by Geert Hofstede . It describes the effects of a society's culture on the values of its members, and how these values relate to behavior, using a structure derived from factor analysis . [1] Hofstede developed his original model as a result of using factor analysis to examine the results of a world-wide survey of employee values by IBM between 1967 and 1973. It has been refined since. The original theory proposed four dimensions along which cultural values could be analyzed: individualism-collectivism; uncertainty avoidance; power distance (strength of social hierarchy) and masculinity-femininity (task orientation versus person-orientation). Independent research in Hong Kong led Hofstede to add a fifth dimension, long-term orientation, to cover aspects of values not discussed in the original...

Reviving Critical Modernism in Development Studies 7 September 2016 Richard Heeks https://ict4dblog.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/reviving-critical-modernism-in-development-studies/ Critical modernism forms a very small, rather dated trickle of ideas within development studies. How could it be updated to serve as a lens for current research? Critical modernism can be understood as a wide sweep of ideas, particularly encompassing thinkers such as Habermas and Gramsci [1] .  But it has only a small explicit footprint within development studies largely triggered by a chapter in Peet & Hartwick’s book Theories of Development , published in 1999 [2] .  Itself developed from earlier work, this was particularly a response to “post-development” ideas that arose in the 1980s. Despite subsequent editions of Theories of Development , the core text on critical modernism by Peet & Hartwick remains unchanged, and the specific notion has gained little overt traction in...
