L'activité économique d’Irodori est un exemple de réussite d'une entreprise développant les ressources agricoles locales d’une zone périphérique en faisant travailler une population vieillissante. Irodori a dû surmonter trois difficultés en matière de système d'information lors du développement de l'entreprise. Surmonter les problèmes posés par: la distance entre les régions productrices (périphériques) et les marchés de consommation (zones urbaines); le problème inhérent à sa localisation désavantageuse dans un village de montagne (faible densité de population, difficulté à développer une infrastructure de communication); la difficulté des personnes âgées dans l'utilisation d'un ordinateur personnel et de l'Internet. Le cas d’Irodori peut être considérée exemplaire dans la prise en compte des ressources régionales et la mise en œuvre de stratégies pour utiliser ces ressources grâce aux T.I.C. |
