Please could you forward the message below to any contacts in the Nepalese IT industry. Cheers!
Harvard University have identified you as a potential collaborator and participant in a major research project, the Global Information Technology Readiness Report (GITRR).
The GITRR, a new venture between Harvard University and the World Economic Forum, aims to make an important contribution to the understanding of the New Economy and global IT usage. This report will be published in the Fall 2001, and will assess the global IT situation for nearly 100 countries, including Nepal.
The GITRR will provide:
· A background for policy discussions by your government and
international bodies that will influence the IT and economic development in Nepal, including your company's activities.
· A clearly identified list of Nepal's relative IT strengths that may spur investment or become a source of competitive advantage in your industry or region.
· A clearly identified list of Nepal's areas for IT development, which can be used to focus future development initiatives by both the public and private sectors.
· A tool for international IT companies to increase their understanding of local markets, their opportunities and their challenges.
As an IT leader, you are in a unique position to accurately portray where Nepal stands with regard to the adoption and use of IT within the global context. Your cooperation is essential in adding value to the GITRR and in guaranteeing inclusion of Nepal in the Report.
All you need to do is fill out an online survey.
The survey for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can be found at:
http://www.cid.harvard.edu/ciditg/isp
The survey for other kinds of IT companies can be found at:
http://www.cid.harvard.edu/ciditg/it
It will take no more than 30-35 min of your time to complete and you will not have to necessarily stay logged on to the Internet while you are filling it out.
Please fill out the survey by August 15, 2001. If you have additional comments/ queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me at globalitreport@ksg.harvard.edu.
Please rest assured that individual questionnaires remain strictly
confidential.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey.
With best regards,
Geoffrey S. Kirkman
Editor, Global IT Readiness Report
Managing Director, Information Technologies Group
Center for International Development at Harvard University
