- Dear all, I am trying to find some articles or related material which describes or introduce different dimensions of information and communication technology (ICT). E.g. TQM has 7 dimensions e.g. leadership, continuous improvement etc. Knowledge management has dimensions e.g. knowledge sharing , knowledge acquisition etc. What are the dimensions of information and communication technology (ICT)?
Hi,
Dimensions of ICT:
1. Computing: PCs are expensive for most people, and shared access becomes inevitable. PC today are very difficult to use, and even expert spend a lot of time maintaining their machines, worrying about upgrades, security, compatibility of hardware, etc. As a complementary technology, non PC devices are an important option.
2. Connectivity: while mobile telephony is improving worldwide, it remains expensive, limited and poor at providing data connectivity.
3. Content: Meaningful content is lacking in many languages, and most content is not locally relevant.
4. Capacity: users need to be aware, literate and innovative to harness the power of ICT. They also should be empowered to use ICT, both by society and by the state.

I hope that you find the answer that's right for you.
The ecosystem for ICT includes the policy and regulatory framework, infrastructure (including connectivity), applications (including contents and services), and capacities and skills. (So, there is here some overlap with the previous response, and some small but interesting differences.)
If you can read the French language, a good book that makes an interesting oscultation of the question in its depth starting from the contextualization within the framework of the theory of information and communications.

Unfortunately I cannot Mr Toudert. Any English resource suggestion will be highly appreciated
More context would be useful, such as the question you're working on; e.g. ICT adoption or use within a small/medium/large enterprise.
One perspective is available from OECD, their "Key ICT Indicators": http://www.oecd.org/internet/broadband/oecdkeyictindicators.htm
You may find Information System Fundamentals (http://jmsdrgn.squarespace.com/storage/Information%20System%20Fundamentals.pdf), Note on Building a Management System (http://jmsdrgn.squarespace.com/storage/Note%20on%20Building%20a%20Management%20System.pdf), How Do You Talk to Big Data?

These are all short notes I use in my courses on information management.
I caution you that these dimensions tend to change over time.

I am not sure that I fully understand your question. But if it refers to the knowledge/skills domains of IT, I usually use a personal framework that combines a Product Development Cycle, like the SDLC (Planning, Analysis, Programming or Procurement, Testing, and Implementation), plus an IT Governance and Control framework, like ISACA/COBIT (Decision support, IT Managenent and Security), plus an Operations framework, like ITL/MOF (IT Operations and Maintenance). This way you cover all the spectrum of the Computing discipline, from development to operations to management. And you may complement it with the discipline independent domain, like the personal/soft skills. If interested, you may read one of my papers on IT skills and PBL.
perhaps the reference below can help you think about your research interests also from a geographical perspective.

I think dealing with Information Systems dimensions is more suitable. You can find answers in the book of Laudon & Laudon:
