| Summary: | The study aims to develop a model of digital inclusion among entrepreneurs (SMEs) in
Malaysia. The existing digital gap instrument is geared towards access, skills and motivational
aspects of using ICT and looking at the issue of usage gaps, whereas digital inclusion is about
how users benefit from the use of ICT as well as prevent the occurrence of digital imperfections.
Digital inclusion is a holistic approach that a) measures the impact of ICT on economic and
social (new skills), b) an environment that can help the economic and society capabilities
benefit from ICT (innovation and entrepreneurship), c) Clear policy and identify opportunities
for public-private collaboration (robust legislation and law). Hence, the formation of
antecedent and digital inclusion model is a new lead in measuring individual and community
development. The objective of the study is to determine the re-concept of digital inclusion and
to test the identified digital domain domains such as communication networks, entertainment,
and search for business information, e-commerce, creating business sites, advertising and
product marketing. Subsequently, the expected outcome of the study is to introduce a new
digital inclusiveness instrument among entrepreneurs (SMEs) in Malaysia based on a number
of domains that have been tested and identified. |
