In today's quickly changing global environment, information and communication technology (ICT) innovation research is of utmost importance for emerging nations. This book explains the crucial part that ICT innovation plays in supporting socioeconomic development, boosting education and healthcare, and advancing emerging countries as a whole. Developing countries have a variety of difficulties, including the need to close the digital divide, infrastructure limitations, and restricted access to resources. A comprehensive framework to solve these issues and realize unrealized potential is provided by ICT innovation research. Developing nations can promote effective government, give marginalized populations more influence, and promote economic prosperity by using the power of ICT. The revolutionary effects of ICT innovation research are highlighted in this book on a variety of industries, including e-commerce, finance, politics, and agriculture. It highlights the chance to go past conventional developmental stages, allowing emerging nations to catch up to their more developed counterparts.

El objetivo de este libro era establecer si Zimbabue tiene el potencial y la capacidad de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) para implantar métodos de voto electrónico en el a menudo desacreditado proceso electoral del país. El estudio adoptó métodos cualitativos y datos secundarios recogidos de informes pertinentes, cuestionarios distribuidos aleatoriamente a la población en general, así como entrevistas con funcionarios de la Comisión Electoral de Zimbabue (ZEC) y de la Autoridad Reguladora de Correos y Telecomunicaciones de Zimbabue (POTRAZ). El libro pone de relieve la situación global y nacional de la adopción de las TIC en Zimbabue, que es el motor clave para el éxito de la implantación del voto electrónico, la cobertura de Internet y su uso en el país. La investigación también indagó cómo los ciudadanos de Zimbabue en la diáspora, a través de las nuevas plataformas de Internet, pueden ejercer su derecho a participar en el discurso político del país y votar utilizando el modelo de voto electrónico. Las conclusiones indican que, aunque puede hacerse, no se practica. De ahí que los ciudadanos en la diáspora estén siendo excluidos del proceso electoral.

Ziel dieses Buches war es, herauszufinden, ob Simbabwe über das Potenzial und die Kapazitäten der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie (IKT) verfügt, um E-Voting-Methoden in den oft diskreditierten Wahlprozess des Landes einzuführen. Für die Studie wurden qualitative Methoden und Sekundärdaten aus einschlägigen Berichten, Fragebögen, die nach dem Zufallsprinzip an die Bevölkerung verteilt wurden, sowie Interviews mit Beamten der Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) und der Post- und Telekommunikationsregulierungsbehörde von Simbabwe (POTRAZ) verwendet. Das Buch beleuchtet den globalen und nationalen Status der IKT-Einführung in Simbabwe, die der Schlüssel für die erfolgreiche Einführung der elektronischen Stimmabgabe, der Internetabdeckung und -nutzung im Land ist. Im Rahmen der Studie wurde auch untersucht, wie die Bürger Simbabwes in der Diaspora über neue Internetplattformen ihr Recht auf Teilnahme am politischen Diskurs des Landes wahrnehmen und mithilfe des E-Voting-Modells wählen können. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass dies zwar möglich ist, aber nicht praktiziert wird. Daher werden die Bürger in der Diaspora vom Wahlprozess ausgeschlossen.

O objetivo deste livro era determinar se o Zimbabué tem o potencial e a capacidade das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) para implementar métodos de votação eletrónica no processo eleitoral frequentemente desacreditado do país. O estudo adoptou métodos qualitativos e dados secundários recolhidos de relatórios relevantes, questionários distribuídos aleatoriamente à população em geral, bem como entrevistas com funcionários da Comissão Eleitoral do Zimbabué (ZEC) e da Autoridade Reguladora dos Correios e Telecomunicações do Zimbabué (POTRAZ). O livro destaca a situação global e nacional da adoção das TIC no Zimbabué, que é o principal motor para a implementação bem sucedida da votação eletrónica, cobertura e utilização da Internet no país. A pesquisa também investigou como os cidadãos do Zimbabué na diáspora, através de novas plataformas da Internet, podem exercer o seu direito de participar no discurso político do país e votar usando o modelo de voto eletrónico. As conclusões indicam que, embora possa ser feito, não está a ser praticado. Por conseguinte, os cidadãos da diáspora estão a ser excluídos do processo eleitoral.

L'obiettivo di questo libro è stato quello di stabilire se lo Zimbabwe ha il potenziale e la capacità delle tecnologie dell'informazione e della comunicazione (TIC) di implementare i metodi di voto elettronico nel processo elettorale del Paese, spesso screditato. Lo studio ha adottato metodi qualitativi e dati secondari raccolti da relazioni pertinenti, questionari distribuiti a caso alla popolazione generale e interviste con funzionari della Commissione elettorale dello Zimbabwe (ZEC) e dell'Autorità di regolamentazione delle poste e delle telecomunicazioni dello Zimbabwe (POTRAZ). Il libro evidenzia lo stato globale e nazionale dell'adozione delle TIC in Zimbabwe, che è il fattore chiave per il successo dell'implementazione del voto elettronico, della copertura e dell'uso di Internet nel Paese. La ricerca ha anche analizzato come i cittadini dello Zimbabwe in diaspora, attraverso le nuove piattaforme Internet, possano esercitare il loro diritto a partecipare al dibattito politico del Paese e a votare utilizzando il modello del voto elettronico. I risultati indicano che, sebbene sia possibile farlo, non viene praticato. Di conseguenza, i cittadini della diaspora sono esclusi dal processo elettorale.

L'objectif de cet ouvrage était de déterminer si le Zimbabwe a le potentiel et la capacité en matière de technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) de mettre en ¿uvre des méthodes de vote électronique dans le processus électoral du pays, souvent discrédité. L'étude a adopté des méthodes qualitatives et des données secondaires tirées de rapports pertinents, de questionnaires distribués au hasard à la population en général et d'entretiens avec des responsables de la Commission électorale du Zimbabwe (ZEC) et de l'Autorité de régulation des postes et télécommunications du Zimbabwe (POTRAZ). L'ouvrage met en lumière le statut mondial et national de l'adoption des TIC au Zimbabwe, qui est le facteur clé de la réussite de la mise en ¿uvre du vote électronique, de la couverture et de l'utilisation de l'internet dans le pays. La recherche a également porté sur la manière dont les citoyens zimbabwéens de la diaspora, par le biais de nouvelles plateformes Internet, peuvent exercer leur droit de participer au discours politique du pays et de voter en utilisant le modèle de vote électronique. Les résultats indiquent que bien que cela soit possible, cela n'est pas pratiqué. Les citoyens de la diaspora sont donc exclus du processus électoral.

Les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) constituent un formidable outil susceptible d'améliorer la conservation et la gestion durable des ressources naturelles. Il est possible de s'attaquer aux problèmes de l'épuisement des ressources et de la perte de biodiversité en utilisant les TIC dans de nombreux domaines de la conservation de l'environnement, tels que la surveillance, la collecte de données et la sensibilisation du public. Afin de promouvoir la gestion durable des ressources naturelles et la conservation, cette étude examinera toutes les implications involontaires des TIC. L'étude identifie et examine également quatre domaines de préoccupation importants, à savoir la fracture numérique, la confidentialité et la sécurité des données, la gestion des déchets électroniques et l'empreinte écologique, sur la base de recherches et d'exemples de cas pertinents. La recherche vise à éduquer les décideurs politiques, les praticiens et les universitaires sur l'importance de l'utilisation des TIC dans le respect de l'environnement en mettant l'accent sur ces conséquences involontaires, en particulier dans les pays africains.

The objective of this book was to establish if Zimbabwe has the potential and Information Communication Technology (ICT) capacity to implement e-voting methods in the country's often discredited electoral process. The study adopted qualitative methods and secondary data collected from relevant reports, questionnaires randomly distributed to the general populace as well as interviews with Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) and the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) officials. The book highlights the global and national status of ICT adoption in Zimbabwe which is the key driver to the successful implementation of e-voting, internet coverage, and use in the country. The research also investigated how Zimbabwe citizens in the diaspora, through new Internet platforms, can exercise their right to participate in the country's political discourse and vote using the e-voting model. The findings indicate that though it can be done, it is not being practiced. Hence citizens in the diaspora are being excluded from the electoral process.

Una herramienta formidable con potencial para mejorar la conservación y la gestión sostenible de los recursos naturales son las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC). Es posible abordar los problemas del agotamiento de los recursos y la pérdida de biodiversidad utilizando las TIC en muchos elementos de la conservación del medio ambiente, como la vigilancia, la recogida de datos y la sensibilización del público. Sin embargo, es crucial tener en cuenta las repercusiones imprevistas que podría tener el uso generalizado de las TIC en este ámbito. Con el fin de promover la gestión y conservación sostenibles de los recursos naturales, este estudio examinará las posibles repercusiones imprevistas de las TIC. El estudio también identifica y examina cuatro importantes áreas de preocupación, como la brecha digital, la privacidad y seguridad de los datos, la gestión de los residuos electrónicos y la huella ecológica, basándose en investigaciones pertinentes y ejemplos de casos. La investigación pretende educar a responsables políticos, profesionales y académicos sobre la importancia de utilizar las TIC de forma respetuosa con el medio ambiente, haciendo hincapié en estas consecuencias imprevistas, especialmente en los países africanos.

A formidable tool with the potential to improve conservation and sustainable management of natural resources is information and communication technology (ICT). It is possible to address the problems of resource depletion and biodiversity loss by using ICT in many elements of environmental conservation, such as monitoring, data collection, and public awareness. However, it's crucial to consider the unexpected repercussions that could result from the broad use of ICT in this setting.In order to promote sustainable natural resource management and conservation, this study will examine any unintended implications of ICT. The study also identifies and examines four important areas of concern, including digital divide, data privacy and security, e-waste management, and ecological footprint, based on pertinent research and case examples. The research seeks to educate policymakers, practitioners, and academics about the importance of using ICT in environmentally conscious ways by emphasizing these unintended consequences particularly in African countries.

The goal of this study was to evaluate how global digital companies exploit tiny economies by engaging in tax avoidance. It looked at the difficulties and made recommendations for how small economies might handle these difficulties brought on by large digital companies that use the features of their services and technology to escape taxes. Key informant interviews and secondary data gathering from pertinent literature and reports were used as qualitative research techniques. Interviews were conducted with five important informants from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) The study additionally categorizes the types of services offered by various digital economies. It draws attention to the difficulties faced by tiny economies, including the change in global business models, tax evasion, international tax laws, and a lack of resources to comply with them. The results show how minor economies are exploited by digital behemoth businesses through their operations in their jurisdictions, capitalizing on earnings, and dodging tax obligations due to non-legally binding instruments that require international firms to conform.
