CALL FOR PAPERS

TRACK: ICTs in Global Development
MINI-TRACK: *Information & Communications Technologies Issues in Greater
China Region*



During the last three decades, China has made dramatic progresses and
Chinese economy has been increasingly integrated into world economy. This
mini-track is mainly concerned with the role that information and
communication technologies (ICT) have been playing in this process. For the
purpose of this mini-track, the term Greater China Region refers to the
geographical area of Chinese culture with regard to the economic
development, not to political entities. This includes the economies of
China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, and extends to countries like Malaysia
or Singapore whose national economies are strongly impacted by Chinese
owned and/or managed businesses as well as large numbers of Chinese
consumers. Driven by the fast growing economy many companies in this region
have launched ambitious strategic plans in ICT, and governments have been
pursuing aggressive policies to open up new business opportunities and to
reinforce the development of the ICT industry specifically and  the
adoptions of ICT across industries in general.



This mini-track intends to provide a forum for researchers to present and
discuss ICT issues from the particular perspective of the Chinese
background. All paper submissions need to address some issue that is
specific to the Chinese setting.

* *
Suggested specific topics include but are not restricted to the following:

1. The economic and social aspects of ICT

2. The impact of government policies in ICT industry and ICT application
across industries

3. Software industry development and strategies
