Passing from the "Agricultural era" and entering into the "post-industrial era", the threatening dynamic environment led to the tendency towards productivity and consequently useful attempt for benefiting from productivity along with the economic development through the so-called "developing" synergy and finally directing the behavior management "developed" status. Please note that there is a resistant for acceptance of such a change so it should have been found some solutions. Now this question is proposed how to change the axis from "Agriculture era" thought into the "Post-industrial era" in non developed countries/counties? Post-industrial means ICT.
Dear Amir,
In one place you stated the interest is for “countries,” in another, you stated “counties.” I will say something on both.
In non-developed countries, we find that their economic base plays a role in the paradigm shift from agriculture to ICT. They tend to specialize mainly in agriculture, mining, and sometimes tourism. The literature on economic development shows over a long span of history that productivity is low for lack of capital, unstable government, imperfect market, unequal exchange, and so on. ICT should be welcomed in the face of some resistance because it can provide some information through low cost media such as broadband network and cloud computing infrastructure, which harness services such as YouTube, Google Map, Wikipedia, Facebook, and so on. Through these media information about practical business models, better market opportunities and available advertising media will help the countries to better their conditions.
I want to add that in many counties and regions of developed countries, we find new opportunities for ICT to enhance productivity. In the United States, the Federal Government compiles a list of left- behind area that somehow cannot grow in the era of information age. For example, in California, that region stretches from Stockton to Bakersfield. The economic base there is mainly agriculture. It seem that ICT can help these areas, which are already poised to use ICT infrastructure more than in non-developed countries.
In both situations, human capital development may be necessary, and government grants and subsidies may have a big role to play in the development process.
