The overall aim of this study is to identify the strengths and the opportunities, the weaknesses and the threats of information society that could enable the national and the international economies to achieve continuous improvement of quality of life both for current and future generations, through the creation of sustainable communities able to manage resources efficiently and to tap the ecological and social innovation potential of the economy, ensuring prosperity, environmental protection, social cohesion and cultural diversity.
