Abstract/Summary
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) defined limitless possibilities. It made globalization possible through worldwide connectivity being readily accessible. Networked Readiness Index is a measure of the state of ICT in a country. This report contains information regarding the state and the importance of ICT to individuals, businesses and government functions. However, no research exists that compares these scores on a per-country basis, comparing how a country approaches ICT to another and sharing how this knowledge can benefit others.
The researchers identified the quantitative and qualitative similarities and differences among four South-East Asian countries namely Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines and Timor-Leste. An aNova test was done on the scores of each country on each individual pillar to identify if significant differences exist. The researchers presented the analyses and implications of these similarities and differences to each country's state of ICT, highlighting the accounting aspects in each of the pillars. The results showed that there exist significant differences in each of the nine pillars of the four countries.
The researchers were able to analyze and conclude the reasons behind the significant differences among the scores of the four countries in each of the nine pillars. This further allowed researchers to give recommendations to those who could affect or be affected by the state of ICT in a country.
