Modeling the impact of Information Technology on economic growth using systemic approach and Fuzzy DEMATEL techniques

Several researches have done on the information technology impact on economic growth in different countries, but few researchers examine this phenomenon as dynamic, so this paper tries to study the effect of information technology on economic growth using systemic approach and Fuzzy DEMATEL techniques. In order to identify variables and relations, theoretical principles, research records and Delphi technique were used and a conceptual model has been designed by depicting convoluted charts (CLD) that represents variables and dynamics. Then, the relationships between variables were determined by applying fuzzy DEMATEL techniques. The results showed that IT has profound effect on economic growth and also economic growth is an effective factor on other important components such as acceleration of IT application in industry that narrative this truth that rings reinforce each other by time.
