FORUM ON ADVANCING THEORY ON NATIONAL IT POLICY
CAIRO, EGYPT
OCTOBER, 2004
October 4, 2004 (Monday)
Tentative Schedule for Day II. Workshop on Theories on National IT Policy
|
08:30-08:45 |
Welcome - Sherif Kamel (American University in Cairo) and Galen Sevcik (Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University) |
|
08:45-09:00 |
A preview of the day's activities including a framing model from the NSF project. |
|
09:00-10:00 |
Task 1 (Whole Group): Enumerate the full range of different national IT policies in both developing and developed countries.
This session will use brain-storming and/or nominal group techniques to elicit a comprehensive list of extant national IT policies.
|
|
10:00-10:30 |
Coffee Break |
|
10:30-11:45 |
Task 2 (Small Groups): Create a categorization or ontology of these policies.
This session will involve small groups charged with the task of determining how the full range of IT policies may be classified based on similarities and differences.
|
|
12:15-13:15 |
Task 3 (Whole Group): Create a consensus for a single categorization scheme.
This session will review the results of the small groups and move to a consensus for a single categorization scheme.
|
|
12:45-14:15 |
LUNCH |
|
14:15-15:30 |
Task 4 (Small Groups): Substantiate the differential effects of these categories of policies on IT transference and socio-economic development and explicitly identify theoretical linkages.
Participants will self-select into small groups. Each small group will discuss one category type identified in T3. The session will be a round-table discussion of the theoretical and conceptual linkages between these category types and the expected outcomes. The anticipated outcomes of this session are:
1. The articulation of key linkages among the constructs in the theory
2. The specification of potential theory bases for each of the key linkages
|
|
15:30-16:00 |
Task 5 (Whole Group): Share overview of results from Task 4 with the whole group.
This session will report the results from each small group to the whole group. The whole group will discuss the impacts of these policy types in the context of a theoretical model. The group will then rank order the expected impacts of these types.
