<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">The concept of Development has eluded IS researchers who continue to grapple with increasing ICT innovations by people living in
countries with finite resources. In particular, innovations in mobile payments continue to drive entrepreneurship in the remotest parts of the world, the country with the largest number of users of mobile payments, Kenya, hardly features in mainstream IS research.
It has been stated that </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), or process, a new marketing method, or a new organizational
method in business practices, workplace organization or external relations. While IS research does not produce, nor is it required, to enable innovations like those witnessed in Kenya,
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">recent special issues in mainstream IS Journals have awoken to these innovative uses of ICTs and realize that there are societal consequences as innovations in social networking,
crowdsourcing and mobile banking bring novel research questions to the field. Yet, imminent scholars continue to grapple with a well-known phenomenon, Development.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Historically, development has been studied in the fields of Economics, Government and International Relations as the economic growth
of countries, regions with social, political and human consequences. In the past ten years, the access, use and innovations in ICTs to bring people in the remotest and poorest parts of the world as active participants in the global economy, has made the study
of ICTs for Development an important means of understanding how improvements in people’s live may or may not take place though IS implementations. Because the phenomenon of ICTs and Development is moving previously poor, developing countries into the mainstream
of economic life, leaving developed countries to catch up with their innovations, IS research is also scrambling to catch up.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">The Global Development workshop addresses questions that provide new and meaningful definitions of Development, such as does development have to be a zero-sum game with winners
and losers? </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">In a world that is increasingly characterized by climate disturbance, natural disasters, economic crises, challenges to peaceful relationships within & between
states, diminishing natural resources, exploitation & manipulation of natural resources with grave costs to the environment, demands for participation in governance, what lenses are there to understand these changes.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Can ICTs support the development, promotion and realization of a model of ‘development’ that is holistic, just & sustainable, and that will lead to an appropriate quality
of life for each individual on the planet? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Within this context, should academic ICT research be more pro-active?
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Attempts to take such a huge leap typically include as collateral the need for a model of development that is feasible, just and sustainable. Given the relative over-consumption
of resources that is associated with being a ‘first world’ country, it is obviously not feasible nor sustainable for the majority of countries & peoples to grow economically into this category. The development vs. environment model is increasingly leading
the planet to the brink of catastrophe.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

this workshop will also further the knowledge of what we know about how ICT enables the global economy by enabling local needs to be met in a manner that is preserves the ability of the planet to support human life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
