Mini-Track Description

Today, organizations' operations depend on reliable information and robust information systems, thus preventing failure and managing a healthy status of information processes has become an important management issue. Organizations also need to build secure channels for information sharing to be able to engage in profitable global collaborations. Developing, emerging, and transition economies play an important role in such collaborations, but existing research puts little attention to the distinctive IS security and privacy issues in these environments. The different business, social, and legal environments of less developed economies might raise other IS security and privacy challenges and require new theoretical models and management practices than those known from the research to date. The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum to present and discuss theoretical models, methodologies, and empirical cases concerning the distinctive IS security and privacy issues in the context of developing, emerging, and transition economies.
