"Regular assessments of a country's readiness, the degree to which it is prepared to participate in the networked world, provide a valuable information to its policy-makers and community at large on a relative advancement of their country in the areas that are most critical for the creation of a knowledge-based economy. Such assessments are detailed snapshots of acountry's potential, its unique opportunities and challenges, which would allow policy-makers to identify and/or adjust a country's strategic priorities, to make sound strategic decisions with regards to institutions, information and innovation systems, human resources development, etc. The Guide recommends 19 different categories of indicators, that fall within five groups: Network Access, Networked Learning, Networked Society, Networked Economy, Networked Policy."--Editor.
