HICSS Mini-track :IT Enabled Collaboration in Developing Countries

 

Description:

Diffusion (adoption, implementation, and utilization) of collaboration
technologies have been investigated in many countries and regions around the
globe. While the majority of research initiatives have been undertaken in
Western Europe and North America, they have been scarce in developing
regions like East Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. As the world
economy become integrated,  the diffusion of collaboration technologies in
countries such as China, India, Brazil, and South Africa is becoming
prevalent as globalization drives inter and intra-country collaboration
intensity within and across organizations. Technology enhanced collaboration
such as synchronous and asynchronous computer support amongst team members
(co-located or virtual) is being enhanced by hand held mobile devices in
communities of practice and social media environments in developing
countries. 

 

We would like to invite the authors to submit their research on IT enabled
collaboration in developing countries from theoretical, technological,
social, psychological, behavioral, and design science perspectives. Research
deploying different theoretical lenses could focus on process and system
design, methods, modeling, and techniques in addressing various aspects of
IT enabled collaboration. The mini-track will focus on a wide range of
topics including but not limited to:

1. Case studies (education/business/government/organization) of IT enabled
collaboration in developing countries.

2. Cross-cultural and intra and/or inter-organizational IT enabled
collaboration in developing countries.

3. Global, virtual, distributed, blended, and face-to-face IT enabled
collaboration in developing countries.

4. Emerging issues in collaboration technology diffusion in developing
countries.

5. Deployment of mobile technologies for collaboration in developing
countries.

6. Group decision making, negotiation, facilitation and intelligent system
and communication technologies in developing countries.

7. Factors influencing IT enabled collaboration in developing countries.
