Technology and analytics are transforming the global economy, especially in emerging markets (EM). With younger populations, EM countries are quickly adopting digital platforms such as social media, mobile platforms, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Tech companies in EM such as Tencent, Alibaba, Samsung, and Naver are playing major roles in the global tech scene. Governments in EM countries are heavily investing in the technology infrastructures and are pushing national artificial intelligence (AI) strategies to be at the forefront of the 4th industrial revolution.

An unprecedented amount of data on individuals and business operations from EM countries is now available. The computational advances in econometrics and machine learning, as well as the availability of powerful computation resources such as cloud computing and GPU, allow researchers to effectively and efficiently analyze such data and to extract actionable insights. Leveraging these advances, tech companies in EM are agile in adopting innovations.

Moreover, these advances in EM provide information systems and marketing scholars unique opportunities for analytics-based research. Industry practitioners in EM are also rapidly building analytics capabilities for competitive advantage, and EM entrepreneurs are creating new business models in this technology-enabled ecosystem.

The main purpose of this minitrack is to bring business analytics researchers and industry practitioners together to discuss future directions on how technology and analytics will reshape emerging markets and the global economy. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *   Scalable analytics methodologies for emerging market data
  *   Data integrity issues in emerging market data
  *   Technology-enabled online platforms in emerging markets
  *   Mobile and social media analytics in emerging markets
  *   Image, video, text data analytics in emerging businesses
  *   Empirical studies in AI and machine learning-based startups
  *   AI-powered bots and fight for fake news and misinformation in emerging economies
  *   Internet of things (IoT) and sensor data analytics in emerging markets
  *   Economics of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies in emerging markets
  *   Healthcare analytics in emerging countries
  *   Quantitative marketing analytics in emerging markets
  *   AI-empowered digital marketing in emerging markets
  *   AI and analytics in personalized K-12 and higher educations in emerging countries
  *   Experimental studies in digital advertising in emerging markets
