Digital, smart and super smart nationevolutionary model and prospective analysis

Resumen

Globally, countries are increasingly facing challenges to their national future post the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges include decreasing and aging populations; dwindling workforces; trade wars owing to restricted movement of goods, people, and services; and overcoming economic and societal problems by 2035. Considering this, nations, governments, and lawmakers should now work toward building people-friendly and super-smart societies. In this dissertation, a framework for a super-smart nation is build. Such a nation, it is hoped, will improve living standards, ease of doing business, public services, and international cooperation among nations, especially given the future challenges. This dissertation covers three contributions of an evolutionary model for building a super smart nation. First, a digital nation framework is presented. Second, a smart nation framework is presented. Third, a super-smart nation framework is presented. The evolutionary model helps to create a super-smart nation by identifying the appropriate stakeholders, characteristics, and challenges, solutions, and pillars.
