• eReadiness model tallies scores of six categories – connectivity, – business environment, – eCommerce consumer and business adoption, – legal and regulatory environment, – supporting eServices, and – social and cultural infrastructure.
![Page 31: Prof. Abdullah H Abdul-Gader Vice Rector Graduate Studies and Scientific Research](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813144550346895d97c15a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
eReadiness rankings (May 2001)
1. eBusiness leaders: These countries already have most of the elements of eReadiness in place, though there are still some concerns about regulatory safeguards (USA, Australia, UK, Canada).
2. eBusiness contenders: These countries have both a satisfactory infrastructure and a good business environment but parts of the eBusiness equation are still lacking (Ireland, France, Austria, Taiwan)
![Page 32: Prof. Abdullah H Abdul-Gader Vice Rector Graduate Studies and Scientific Research](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813144550346895d97c15a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
eReadiness rankings (May 2001)
3. eBusiness followers: These countries form the largest group and have begun to create an environment conducive to eBusiness, but have a great deal of work to do (Greece, Czech Republic).
4. eBusiness laggards: These countries risk being left behind, and face major obstacles to eBusiness growth, primarily in the area of connectivity (Bulgaria, China, Ecuador)
![Page 33: Prof. Abdullah H Abdul-Gader Vice Rector Graduate Studies and Scientific Research](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813144550346895d97c15a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
(2) eReadiness rankings
• Egypt and Saudi Arabia who represent the Arab countries are among the eBusiness followers group.
• The large Saudi population compared to other Arabian Gulf Countries and the presence of large IT companies based in Saudi Arabia give Saudi eBusiness advantage and competitive strength in the region.

Internet Access
• The personal computers (PCs) penetration (PCs per 100 inhabitants) in the Kingdom stands at 5, which is very low when compared to other Arab countries such as UAE and Bahrain that boast a penetration rate in the range 10-15
• The number of Internet subscribers (those paying for access to the Internet) rather than users is a precise indicator of access. Until March 2001, the number of Internet subscribers was 275,000.
• The Kingdom’s user to subscriber ratio for the year 2001 is estimated to be 2.5
![Page 42: Prof. Abdullah H Abdul-Gader Vice Rector Graduate Studies and Scientific Research](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813144550346895d97c15a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Infrastructure Strategy
To provide fast, easy, secure and affordable access to facilitate a modern internationally linked e-enabling infrastructure.

(4) eLearning
• eLearning is any form of learning that utilizes a computer network for delivery, interaction, or facilitation of the educational material.
• Compared to conventional learning, eLearning leads to:– about 30% greater learning in up to 40%
less time.– higher performance in exams by about 26%
to 37% on the average.– higher Long-term retention by 15% on the
average.
![Page 47: Prof. Abdullah H Abdul-Gader Vice Rector Graduate Studies and Scientific Research](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813144550346895d97c15a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
(4) eLearning
• By fall 2000, almost all public schools in the United States had access to the Internet: 98% were connected.
• In Europe, the eEurope initiative calls for special attention to education where member states have committed themselves to put all schools online by 2002.
• China envisions providing broadband access networks interconnecting 800,000 Chinese schools.

(5) IT Human Resources Development
• The shortage of qualified IT workers in U.S, Europe, and other countries became a matter of considerable concern.
• Western Europe has a current shortage of 850,000 IT sector jobs with the shortage expected to grow to 1.7 million by 2003.
• Germany alone is reported to have a shortage of between 75,000 to 80,000 IT professionals
• Canadian researchers expect a demand for nearly half a million IT professionals by 2010.
• Local studies carried in early nineties and 2001 clearly reveal the severity of human resources issue.
