Fast growing emerging economies, including transition economies, are 
often considered the growth engine of the global economy. Unfortunately, 
despite the fast growth of emerging economies, the economic gap between 
emerging economies and the mature, developed countries still exists. It 
seems that in order to truly close this gap, new management techniques, 
new business models, and new regulatory policies, among other factors 
are needed. Moreover, it could be expected that information and 
communication technologies (ICTs) will play a vital role in this process.

Thus, the objective of this conference is to provide a forum for 
interested researchers and practitioners for exchanging their creative 
ideas on these issues.

Possible contributions regarding the ICT management for global 
competitiveness and economic growth in emerging economies may include, 
but are not limited to, the following:

1. Social, political and legal frameworks and ICT Management in emerging 
and transition economies
2. Unique ICT management techniques for emerging and transition economies
3. Methods for measuring the benefits and costs of projects involving 
the adoption of ICT
4. The role of human and social capital
5. Innovative ways for generating revenues creating commercial knowledge 
products in emerging and transition economies
6. Educational systems and ICT Management in emerging and transition 
economies
7. ICT to support small and medium firms in emerging and transition 
economies
8. ICT management in small businesses as a path to economic growth
9. ICT productivity studies at the country, industry or firm level, with 
specific reference to the social and business conditions prevalent in 
emerging or transition economies
10. Global supply chain management and its contribution to emerging and 
transition economies
11. Country specific case studies, with specific reference to the social 
and business conditions prevalent in emerging and transition economies
12. IT off-shoring / IT outsourcing into emerging and transition economies
13. International ICT project management, with specific reference to the 
social and business conditions in emerging or transition economies
14. Digital divide in emerging and transition economies
15. E-commerce effect on emerging or transition economies
16. E-government in emerging or transition economies
