摘要

Main goal of this research is proposing an innovative scientific model for nationwide e-readiness assessment, proposed model including several levels, aim to reach the success factors and target customer groups, with enabling values. Through the research and from systematic point of view, e-readiness is a concept which includes all environmental effects, incoming, processing and outgoing phases of a national system. Value creation is another concept which includes all the outcomes and impacts of ICT adoption in the heart of e-Readiness and plays an important role in E-readiness assessment process. This comprehensive look to the ICT makes sense if we consider a system more e-Ready when it has more e-Ready incomes, process and outcomes than its competitors and eventually with increasing its adoption, makes more effective results in Business, government, citizenship, macro-economy, social, cultural and political aspects of the community. One of the advantages of proposed model is strongly attention to the role of specific countries features in national, industrial, organizational and individuals level to make proper assessment of e-Readiness and provide better opportunities with emphasis on E-business with special attention to the e-service adoption, and impacts of deploying these services in society.
