Apologies to our Detroit friends, since in my previous posting I wrote
AMCIS @ San Francisco instead of Detroit, Michigan. Reuse is not
always a good idea if you don't have proper quality control in
place :) mea culpa.
Here is the correct version:

Detroit, Michigan, USA, August 4-7, 2011

A considerable body of literature exists regarding the adoption of
information technology (IT) in developed economies. However, different
challenges exist for developing economies that warrant a dedicated
line of research. A broad group of developing countries, with low to
middle income per capita, are actively dedicated to economic
development and substantial reforms in order to advance their emerging
economies from the developing to the developed status. Transition
economies are the particular case of emerging economies comprising the
countries of the former eastern bloc and the countries that resulted
from the breakup of the Soviet Union, which within the last two
decades have abandoned communist style central planning systems for
free markets. Overall, developing economies play an increasingly
important role in the global economy, with IT being a crucial driving
force in this process. The objective of this mini-track is to
encourage more research in this topic by providing a forum for
interested authors to disseminate their research, compare results, and
exchange ideas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Critical success factors, risks, and barriers for IT adoption in
developing economies
• IT management and governance issues in developing economies
• Cultural, economical, and social contexts/factors influencing IT in
developing economies
• IT investment evaluation in developing economies
• Country specific case studies, with specific reference to the
social and business conditions prevalent in developing economies
• The role of IT in developing economies in global supply chains
• IT off-shoring/outsourcing into developing economies
• E-government and e-democracy in developing economies
Important Dates:
• February 17, 2011 Deadline for Paper Submission
• March 24, 2011 Notification of Paper Acceptance
• April 21, 2011 Camera Ready Copy Due
Minitrack Chairs:
Piotr Soja, Cracow University of Economics, eisoja at cyf-kr.edu.pl
