Strategy:
The networking model must define its strategy in terms of resource generation, funding sources, designing an information service mix for target beneficiaries. The sustainability issue is very important in such models, as to how revenues will be generated and how the ICT model is to be linked with agricultural marketing institutions in order to facilitate agricultural marketing. The product-service mix and communication strategy to farmers is also very important for awareness about the information on marketing and commodity prices. Without a well planned strategy, the business model will not be able to achieve its objectives. The integration of the model with revenue streams such as providing e-governance, social networking, education, health and a virtual market delivering goods can help in drawing revenues.

Structure:
The structure of the consortium needs to be designed in such a way that it facilitates speedy decision-making. A networked structure having minimum hierarchies and involving people from all stakeholder organizations with clear cut roles is needed for implementation including those under PPP (Public Private Participation). The more the layers, the less will be the benefits delivered to beneficiaries.

Systems:
They comprises of the procedures and policies of the organizations which define how things should be done to achieve the objectives. The systems allow flexibility in terms of resources and approaches as different geographical areas may need different approaches. The systems of collecting information and updating the same and methods of content delivery are to be defined. The delivery of SMART (specific, measurable, accurate, relevant and timely) information is possible only through SMART systems

Style:
Beliefs and actions of managers determine the outcome of implemented strategy. A participative style of management suitable for the need of rural areas is adopted. The local communities such as farmers and intermediaries must be involved in the awareness programmes and selection. The success of these schemes depends upon how the managers are able to work .The management apply the bottoms up approach for encouraging and motivating employees working in this area.

Staff:
People are involved at every step in such type of information system. The people involved are data collectors, officials incharge of updating data, kiosk operators, who deliver the information and the people who install and maintain the kiosks. Most of the models are making use of the local entrepreneurs, who are selected among the local folk. The selection of these entrepreneurs plays an important role. If a person involving the local community, having good educational qualification, mental aptitude, enjoying good relationship in the village is selected, he is able to deliver better benefits to the farmers.

Skills:
Enabling skills imply that the company ensures that employees know how to do their jobs and stay abreast with innovation in tasks, technology and techniques. Skills imply distinctive capabilities of people and organization which differentiate themselves from others. The skill sets of the persons involved in collecting, updating and delivering information needs to be updated from time to time. The staff must be fully equipped to deliver the services to farmers.
