信息和通信技术促进发展（ICT 4D）学者经常批评该领域的大多数研究人员倾向于不使用理论来建立，测试或扩展他们项目中的进一步概念（Ogan等人，Burrell和富山（2009年）认为，正是由于ICT 4D研究的广度和范围，ICT 4D缺乏共同的概念和术语基础。Heeks（2007）感叹，很少有工作是从ICT 4D的“D”推导出来的。在本文中，作者将试图回顾最近的文献，这可能有助于两个最有争议的概念为基础的研究在信息和通信技术促进发展-阿马蒂亚森和哲学家玛莎Nussbaum的能力的方法（森，1999年a，Nussbaum，1988年）对一个非常不同的脆弱性方法的贫困和辩论的有效性，这两种方法的信息和通信技术促进发展的研究。本文假定，这两种范式可以适用于同一个发展项目，这取决于它的推理，并建议接受所有这些观点将继续共存的学术界和从业者社区的领域内，这个新的和新兴的领域称为ICT 4D的利益。
Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) scholars have often criticised that most researchers in this field tend not to use theory to build, test or extend further concepts in their projects (Ogan et al., 2009, Heeks, 2007) while Burrell and Toyama (2009) reflected that it is precisely because of its breadth and range of research that ICT4D lacks a common foundation of concepts and terms. Heeks (2007) lamented that very little work has been deduced from the ‘D’ of ICT4D. In this paper, the author will attempt to review recent literature which contributed to arguably the two most contentious concept-based researches in ICT for Development – Amartya Sen’s and philosopher Martha Nussbaum’s capabilities approach (Sen, 1999a, Nussbaum, 1988) against a very different vulnerabilities approach of poverty and debate the validity of both approaches to ICT4D research. This paper posits that both paradigms can be applied to the same development project depending on its enthymeme and suggests the acceptance that all of these viewpoints will and should continue to coexist within the realms of the academic and practitioner communities for the benefit of this new and emerging field called ICT4D.
