Unfortunately, despite the fast growth of emerging economies, the economic gap between emerging economies and the mature, developed countries still exists. It seems that in order to truly close this gap, new management techniques, new business models, and new regulatory policies, among other factors are needed. Moreover, it could be expected that information and communication technologies (ICTs) will play a vital role in this process.<br><br>Thus, the objective of this conference is to provide a forum for interested researchers and practitioners for exchanging their creative ideas on these issues.<br><br>Possible contributions regarding the ICT management for global competitiveness and economic growth in emerging economies may include, but are not limited to, the following:<br><br>1.
