Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have a major impact on 
economic and societal development. Though developing, emerging, and 
transitional economies play an increasingly important role in the global 
market, mainstream information systems research continues to focus on 
the relatively small group of countries with highly developed economies. 
The business, social, and legal environments of less developed economies 
often mandate that ICT implementation and management apply different 
practices and models from those conceived and tested in highly developed 
countries. The intention of this track is to encourage more research and 
publications on ICT focused on developing and emerging markets and 
communities.

Thus, this track serves as a forum for research on the appropriate use 
and diffusion of information and communication technologies and 
associated management practices in the distinctive environments of 
developing, emerging, and transitional economies.

Suggested topics for minitracks (additional topics welcome):
- Information Technology Issues in Sub-Saharan Africa
- Education and Information Technology in Developing Regions
- Information Technology as a Driver for Social and Political Change
- Leveraging Information Technology for Competitiveness in Emerging Markets
- Information Technology Issues in Arab and Middle Eastern Countries
- Information Technology Issues in Latin America
- Information Technology Issues in Transition Economies
- Information Technology Issues in the Former Soviet Republics
- Role and Significance of ICT in Economically Struggling Regions
- Role and Significance of ICT in an Economic Downturn
- Role and Significance of ICT in Micro Businesses
- Information Technology Issues in China
- Information Technology in Underserved Population Groups
- ICT Collaboration for Development in Global Settings
- Digital Collaboration as a Driver for Economic Growth

Other titles and topics are welcome as long as they relate to the 
general topic area of information technology in global development.
