Aqui el inicio del sumario:

The case for a developing country to adopt an open
source software (OSS) driven Information Technology
strategy is a compelling one. In a wider context IT is
about the production, flow and control of information
in a modern state and the rules which govern such
activities are thus
fundamental to its economic development. Software is a
driver of those
rules. OSS under these circumstances cannot be viewed
as a mere
product choice. It reflects more fundamentally an
alternative strategy for
building, maintaining and changing the rules that
govern information
flows in the economy.
To create value or wealth in a developing country
economy as a
matter of pragmatic strategy it must create business
opportunities for
private firms, reduce cost of IT investment in the
private and/or public
sectors of the economy and improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of
government. A strategy map has been developed to
demonstrate that OS
based strategic initiatives will create value through
the key drivers of
business opportunities, reduced investment cost and
greater efficiency
and effectiveness of government. These strategic
initiatives which are
primarily driven by government encompass IT policy,
advocacy and
education, capacity building, E-government and
positioning of the
country’s IT industry in a globally competitive one.
The actual execution
of such strategies require in varying degrees,
collaboration between
government, universities and educational institutions
and private firms. It
must be emphasized however that the momentum generated
by such
initiatives would also result in the emergence of
market driven business
opportunities, which private firms can and must
exploit. In developing
such a strategic framework the risks and opportunities
faced by developing
countries were considered, in addition to which the
very phenomenon
of OS software, its impact on software markets, the
viability and
profitability of the business model that it drives and
its long run
sustainability were examined.
