Track Description:
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.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
ICT and Global Development in Developing Economies
ICT Collaboration in Cross-Organizational, International, and Global Settings
ICT Innovation and Development
Software in Developing, Emerging, and Transition (DET) Economies
ICT and Sustainable Livelihoods in Rural and Underdeveloped Regions
Education and ICT in Developing Regions
Role and Significance of ICT in Micro Businesses
Leveraging Information Technology for Competitiveness in Emerging Markets
ICT Issues in Emerging Economies
Information Technology Issues in Transition Economies
ICT Issues in Arab and Middle Eastern Countries
Information Technology Issues in Latin America
Information Technology in Underserved and Marginalized Population Groups
Information Technology Issues in Far Eastern Asia
Information Technology Issues in the Former Soviet Republics
