2002 Industry Studies: Information Technology

Abstract

The information technology (IT) industry represents a vital interest of the United States. The IT industry fuels the information revolution that is transforming the U.S. economy while significantly altering social interactions, domestic and international political relationships, and military capabilities. IT serves as a catalyst for innovation, communication, economic growth, and political and economic liberalization everywhere that it is embraced.

Correcting this vulnerability and maintaining world leadership in the IT industry are crucial to maintaining a competitive advantage for the United States across all instruments of national power: economic, military, diplomatic, and informational.
