Über dieses Buch

​This book examines the relationship between information society and information communication technology (ICT) markets, while evaluating the ICT impact on Albanian society and its economy. It offers insights on the country’s information society development and compares it to other nations. The book begins with a general introduction to information society and efforts that can be used for ICT strategy. It then takes a look at ICT as an industrial sector and uncovers the importance for a strong ICT infrastructure management. Using this background information, the book finally explores the growing information society and ICT sector found in Albania. It measures the information society being created, and compares it to other countries in South Eastern Europe. Next the authors introduce a theoretical model for ICT driven development, focusing on ICT innovation and investment as factors that can affect the ICT market. These factors have also taken into account for strategy development in the national and industry level.​

Chapter 1. Information Society and the Efforts for an ICT Strategy
Abstract
Information and communications technology or information and communication technology, usually abbreviated as ICT, is often used as an extended synonym for information technology (IT), but is usually a more general term that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), computers, middleware as well as necessary software, storage, and audio–visual systems, which enable users to create, access, store, transmit, and manipulate information. In other words, ICT consists of IT as well as telecommunication, broadcast media, all types of audio and video processing, and transmission and network-based control and monitoring functions. The expression was first used in 1997 in a report by Dennis Stevenson to the UK government and promoted by the new National Curriculum documents for the UK in 2000.

Chapter 2. ICT Sector and the Importance of ICT Infrastructure Management
Abstract
While it is clear in their application that ICTs hold the greatest potential for economic and social development, many governments are actively seeking to spur domestic economic growth by nurturing the emergence of local ICT industries. This is hardly surprising, as the remarkable expansion of the ICT marketplace in recent years has generated millions of new jobs and billions in additional tax revenues, growth that has benefited nearly every region of the world. Many developing countries also perceive domestic ICT industry growth as an effective means to achieve related development objectives, including to attract foreign direct investment, provide a basis for technology transfer, satisfy local market demand for ICTs, and generate further growth in upstream and downstream industries (such as marketing or financial services).

Chapter 3. Information Society and ICT Sector in Albania (Secondary Data)
Abstract
Albania is one of the Eastern European countries that experienced political and economic changes as the transition to a multiparty democratic system and a free market economy, in 1991. These 22 years, there have been many changes that have affected all areas of political and economic development of Albania. However, it is still classified as a developing country and grouped together with other countries of the region in a group of countries with common characteristics as related to political developments, as well as economic indicators evaluated by international institutions such as the IMF and World Bank.

Chapter 4. A Theoretical Model for ICT-Driven Development Factors Affecting ICT Sector
Abstract
Because ICTs can be applied to a tremendously diverse range of human experience, they are transforming virtually every sector of society and the economy (Riley 2000). Digital breakthroughs are creating new possibilities for improving health and nutrition, expanding knowledge, stimulating economic growth, and empowering people to participate in their communities.

Chapter 5. Albanian Situation Related to the Factors for ICT Development
Abstract
ICT sector is growing significantly in Albania, especially Internet deployment. Situation is rapidly changing from 1 year to the other, despite the fact that this country has the lowest telecommunication in Europe. There is a general awareness about the role of ICT between people and government; and as consequence, there are many ICT-related initiatives, especially private in main urban areas. Mobile telephony has a high penetration in urban areas as an alternative solution in conditions of low penetration of fixed telephony. Despite this considerable growth of ICT deployment, there are several critical obstacles to be addressed. Some of them are related to cultural and economical conditions, for example, the problem of electrical energy shortages, especially in rural areas, high poverty and lack of telecommunications infrastructure in remote areas. A realistic view of all the possible factors mentioned above, regarding Albania, need to be analyzed, in order to fulfill the last goal of this work. It is very important to look at the conditions of Albania, in the main indicators that impact the ICT sector and infrastructures for Information Society and then to identify the areas with the greatest impact and what must be improved. So, this section will deal with four main areas:

Chapter 6. Conclusions and Recommendations
Abstract
Nowadays, the economy and society as a whole is relying more and more on the spread and use of information as a core element of their development. Information is becoming important not only for individual lives, but mostly for companies success, sector and market developments, and then for the development of country economies in today’s global markets. Another element related today more than ever with information is communication. People communicate not only for the simple purpose of transmitting messages, but for exchanging information, which has become in a lot of aspects the reason for communicating, especially in an economic aspect.
