Abstract

The recognition of the role of information technology and their importance in the different fields of national development , in addition to the awareness about the real and increasing emergence of the information society have pushed the managers and the authorities to be convinced about the necessity of change and of adaptation to progress achieved thanks to information and communication technology and to their contribution to the development .This is , in fact , the point that we wanted to deal with and that we have treated through five chapters .After having portrayed the methodological frame of our study , in the first chapter ,we have defined , in the second chapter , the concept of information technology according to various points of view . In the third chapter, we have covered general aspects related to development. To highlight the role of information technology in development, we have reserved the fourth chapter to the different dimensions of development related to these technologies. The fifth and last chapter has dealt with our survey with all its results. We have concluded that information technologies are, on the one hand, a social, economic, political, cultural, safety and geo-strategic challenge, and efficient instrument to assure the achievement of development in this new era .Information technologies constitute a principal way to integrate the information society, but this cannot be accomplished without a national information policy. Our present study is an attempt to put a consistent framework in the hands of researchers and managers who should make efforts to reduce the gap between the countries of the north and those of the south through a complex three degrees equation: development, democracy, globalisation .This can lead us to believe that information technologies constitute a crown on the head of the rich that only the poor can observe.
