This This paper analyzes the effect of ICT infrastructure availability on FDI inflow in D8countries (Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iran, Egypt, Nigeria, Malaysia, Pakistan and Turkey). Panel data for the period 1997-2018 has been used and the analysis has been done using the fix effect model suggested by Hausman specification test. The result shows positive and significant effect between ICT infrastructure and FDI inflows, along with other controlling variables like market size, trade openness, in case of macroeconomic variable that is exchange rate it has negative but significant effect on FDI inflows.

Previous studies on the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) have predominantly focused on developed and emerging economies. However, there seem to be few studies concentrating on a comparative analysis of vast African and Asian countries. This paper analysed drivers of foreign direct investments (FDI) to Asian and African economies using a panel dataset from 1980 to 2013.This study used Granger causality test, under vector error correction modelling (VECM) to test for causality among the variables. While the drivers of FDI inflows were measured using five dimensions as proposed by Anyanwu; the dependent variable, FDI inflows, was proxied by the ratio of FDI flows to gross domestic product (GDP). Findings revealed that variables manifesting the determinants of FDI inflows positively affected FDI into these continents. Specifically, factors such as trade openness, macroeconomic condition, infrastructural development, and monetary union have positive and significant effect on FDI to Asian economies. No significant relationship was found between FDI inflows and market size to the Asian continent during the study period. On the other hand, trade openness, macroeconomic condition, market size and infrastructural development have positive and significant effects on FDI inflows to African economies although there was no significant relationship between FDI inflows and monetary union to the African continent during the study period. In fact, there were bi-directional relationships between FDI inflows and some of the determinants in both continents. Theoretically, this model provides predictive implications on improved FDI inflows, given the activities of critical variables manifesting as determinants of FDI inflows.

An adoption of electronic procurement aspects is currently indispensable in many organizations. However county government of Migori has not embraced this technological change as expected and hence affecting its performance. Most reviewed studies failed to link the aspects of electronic procurement adoption to the organizational performance. They were mostly exploratory in design and did not focus on the county government of Migori in particular. Small samples and convenient sampling techniques dominated these studies. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to establish the effect of information communication technology infrastructure on performance of county government of Migori, Kenya. This study was anchored on the following theories; diffusion of innovation (DOI), technology acceptance model theory (TAM), universality theory, contingency theory and organizational performance theory which formed part of this study. The study adopted a correlation research design. Census sampling was embraced. The target population was 50 comprising of procurement officers, procurement staff, top management and directors working in the county government of Migori. Questionnaires were used in collecting primary data while secondary data was obtained from existing literature. The findings revealed that ICT infrastructure had the strongest unique contribution on organizational performance (β=.463, p=.000). The study concluded that ICT infrastructure is a significant predictor of organizational performance and therefore have a positive effect. The study recommends that the county government of Migori provides more infrastructures for electronic procurement adoption. The study will be of significance to stakeholders in the enhancement of performance through electronic procurement and addressing the gaps especially in the county government of Migori. To the academia, it will add value to new knowledge for further research. To policy makers, the study will assist in the identification of issues raised in different areas to improve organizational performance more so in the county government of Migori.

As the inclination to FDI shifts from developed to developing economies, investors are flocking to emerging markets, particularly to the Next-11 nations, which render additional growth and investment opportunities. Meanwhile, these countries have become popular FDI destinations; the goal of this study is to look at the major factors that make these countries appealing to FDI destinations. As a result, this research examines the factors that influenced FDI inflows into these nations from 1995 to 2019. Market size, trade openness, natural resource availability, economic stability, and infrastructure facilities are among the potential explanatory factors identified in this research. On the panel data set, which includes data from 11 nations, a fixed-effect model is used. The data show that market size, trade openness, natural resource availability, and economic stability are all possible predictors of FDI inflows to these nations, whereas infrastructure appears to be a minor one.

New Phase

In the previous chapter, we discussed the important role security policies play in the security of networks, in particular, and in the information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, in general. The security policy should always be considered as the baseline security piece that dictates what other security mechanism are to be used and how. However, one must not forget that security policies are passive documents; they are lines of statements of what must be done and nothing more. A security policy will not physically stop a determined intruder, for example. To stop a determined intruder, or any other intruder for that matter, the security policy must be put into use. This chapter moves us into a new phase of the implementation of the security policies we discussed in the last chapter, starting with security assessment and analysis.

The Many

In Chapter I, we outlined the many causes of insecurity in the information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure. We indicated one particular weakness as users with little knowledge of the working of the communication infrastructure. In this chapter, we intend to address that concern. We give a very elementary treatment of the theory of networks and then outline the best network security solutions.

The Relationship

This paper examined the relationship between the increasing Information & Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure in Africa and foreign direct investment inflow to Africa using panel data sourced from ITU and WDI over 17 years (1998-2014). The paper applies both the fixed-effect and difference-in-differences models. The results indicate that there is a positive correlation between FDI inflow and ICT level in the host country.  The surge in ICT infrastructure in 2009 has substantially increased the FDI inflow to Africa. This increase in FDI inflow was more in the countries that have access to the sea than the countries that have no access to the sea. In other words, the average scale change in FDI inflow to the countries with no access to the sea is smaller than the countries with the coastline.
