DESCRIPTION
ICT represents endless opportunities for advancement in organizational
processes and the delivery of products and services across all industries.
However, while ICTs can greatly benefit developing economies, the potential
of ICT remains relatively unrealized in resource-poor settings and
developing countries. Moreover, a dearth of empirical evidence exists which
examines the actual impact of ICT in these countries. ICT implementation in
developing countries faces numerous unique challenges such as logistical
and infrastructural challenges, cultural differences, technical literacy
and more. This mini-track invites submissions focused on ICT in developing
countries across various areas including health, government, education, and
e-commerce.  This mini-track expects to spark discussion on the many
opportunities for ICT in these countries to further develop research
projects, inform future research, aid in the development of theory in this
area, all of which will cultivate in the advancement of ICT and IS research
in this area.
