In the industrialized countries (such as US and European countries), what issues do you expect to be in the top of the list now and in the future? • With other parts of world (such as India and Mexico) catching up with US and Europe, what change do you expect in the picture of the maturity model?

  12. Discussion Questions (cont.) • The level of economic growth is tied with the issues in IT management. Most of the time, it is safe to say that economic growth will lead to the IT development and adoption. Can you think of the other way around? i.e., what would be an example where IT development will “enable” or “drive” economic growth of a country?
