Challenges of Infrastructure Development in Information Technology Management: A Study in the Context of Bangladesh

Abstract

This study explores the multifaceted challenges of infrastructure development in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) management within the context of Bangladesh. As the country aspires to build a robust digital economy, infrastructural shortcomings continue to be a significant impediment to progress. Using a mixed-methods approach that includes surveys and interviews with stakeholders from both public and private sectors, the research identifies key barriers across six thematic areas: inadequate connectivity, unreliable power supply, insufficient data infrastructure, human capital limitations, policy inefficiencies, and institutional fragmentation. Findings indicate that rural areas suffer disproportionately from limited access to broadband and electricity, while urban-centric data centres and the absence of internationally certified facilities compromise performance and security. Moreover, a persistent gap between academic training and industry needs contributes to a lack of skilled professionals, further impeding progress. Policy discontinuities and bureaucratic delays exacerbate the situation, stalling long-term ICT initiatives. The study emphasises the importance of coordinated policy interventions, strategic investment in infrastructure, and reforms in education and governance to promote sustainable ICT development. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of Bangladesh’s digital development landscape and inform policy measures aimed at bridging existing gaps.
