ua435
The purpose of this research was to assess the Egyptian software industry using a Systems Dynamics approach based on the Software Export Success Factors Model developed by Heeks and Nicholson, 2002. A CLD was prepared as a step towards building a model to simulate the expected effect of key software-related infrastructure variables on the Egyptian software export revenue. Simulations of software export industry over a period of 10 years point to the following: (1) Injecting an additional 30% financial resources resulted in an increase of 8.4% in software export revenue and 2.1% in job opportunities with respect to the reference mode, (2) Improving IT staff productivity by 42%, and delivered software quality by 10%, with a decrease in resistance to change of 20% led to an increase of 68.7% in software export revenue and of 12.9% in job opportunities with respect to the reference mode, (3) Enhancing R&D by 50% and IT staff innovation contribution by 10% resulted in an increase of 14.4% in software export revenue and 3% in job opportunities with respect to the reference mode, and (4) Improving the software export promotion efficiency by 14% and quality of delivered software by 10% led to an increase of 38.7% in software export revenue and 8% in job opportunities with respect to the reference mode.
