Abstract

Abstract Widespread computer science use and the tremendous changes in information and communication technologies (ICT) since the 2000s have induced major disruptions in the telecommunications sector. The Voice-Data‐Image convergence had a significant effect on organizations, infrastructures and ICT platforms. Innovation has become a key value for this sector. However, the main weaknesses of telecom operators lie in the lack of their capacities to meet the requirements of continuous innovation. The aim of this article is to propose a critical reflection on the strategic orientations that the Algerian telecom operators can consider in the context of ICT convergence. A survey is conducted to understand the different developments in this sector and in particular to analyse the main issues faced by the incumbent operators and identify the growth levels in changing value chains. A particular reference to the experience of the incumbent operator of Algeria will be discussed from a transformation perspective strategy.

电信部门转型、创新和市场结构:以阿尔及利亚为例

自2000年代以来，计算机科学的广泛应用和信息通信技术(ICT)的巨大变化导致了电信行业的重大中断。语音-数据-图像融合对组织、基础设施和ICT平台产生了重大影响。创新已成为该行业的关键价值。然而，电信运营商的主要弱点在于其能力不足以满足不断创新的要求。本文的目的是对阿尔及利亚电信运营商在ICT融合背景下可以考虑的战略方向提出批判性反思。我们进行了一项调查，以了解该行业的不同发展，特别是分析现有运营商面临的主要问题，并确定不断变化的价值链中的增长水平。将从转型角度战略讨论阿尔及利亚现有运营商的特别经验。
