Dear Colleagues: You might find a paper of mine of interest. It is titled, "High Tech to the Rescue?" ... and can be found on my website: <www.management.uottawa.ca/miller>. There is a short summary and two papers on this theme, one of which sets out the proposed approach for an international initiative and another that pertains to Africa that was prepared for a SADC conference in Capetown.
