Introduction

Over the years, in line with the tremendous development of technology in
different parts of the world, information and communication technologies
(ICTs) have gained significant importance and become central to the
operations and processes of both organizations and individuals. Nowadays,
organizations are creating internet-based systems to obtain maximum
performance from their personnel, improve marketing, reduce costs, increase
turnover, and performance. In addition, there are different online
activities for individuals, who want to participate in internet-based
systems. Moreover, the digital divide, knowledge divide, access and
accessibility barriers, social relationships, work dynamics, culture,
political participation, social empowerment, spatial boundaries, and
social-economic factors seem to affect ICT adoption. Consequently, ICTs
have increasingly attracted the attention of researchers who are interested
in understanding human behaviors and organizations. Researchers are trying
to understand organizational, demographic, cultural, socioeconomic factors
that influence ICT adoption and how ICT adoption might have an impact on
the individual, firm, and country level.

Objective

This aim of this book is to cover the wide facets of ICT adoption that
range from infrastructure to socio-economic impact. The book will include
both theory and practice that provide guidance to policymakers,
decision-makers and practicing managers in business, industry, government,
and academia from various ICT adoption perspectives. This book project will
draw on a wide range of disciplines, including information systems,
computer science, decision sciences, operations management, marketing,
cognitive psychology, social psychology, strategic management, education,
and communication.
