Method: The study was divided into three different parts. Part 1; A broad selection of potential applications of ICT was matched with needs discovered during interviews with a broad range of local stakeholders (including stakeholders from; healthcare, education, agriculture, etc....). Part 2; each application were analyzed according to benefits and ease of implementation with the purpose to identify the 2 most attractive applications. Part 3; A more comprehensive analysis were conducted on each of the two applications identified in the previous phase – stakeholder analysis and value analysis – with the purpose to present a suitable business model.
Conclusions: Two applications of ICT are identified and a suitable business model applicable on the Dominican market is suggested for each application. (Less)
