Abstract

this chapter addresses the issue of the digital economy from a public policy perspective by focusing on the strategies applied in the State of Qatar to emphasize the importance of the knowledge and innovation. In this context, information technology is a key in achieving comprehensive, sustainable and resilient economic development. The chapter starts from a main research question: To what extent do the current strategies of the State of Qatar contribute to the successful transition towards the digital economy? To answer this question, the chapter relies on the idea of methodological integration by combining the use of the descriptive analytical approach and the case study approach. The aim is to provide a critical analytical reading of previous literature in addition to determining the effectiveness of the strategies applied by the Qatari government to transform from traditional to digital economy.
