TRACK DESCRIPTION:
IT has played a major role in the rapid development of the Asian "tiger economies" and this fact has not been lost on Asia's newly emerging economies. Yet while a number of Asian governments are now building their national development plans around IT, others have only just obtained a connection to the Internet. While the region's major industrial and financial institutions are deploying IT in their bids to brace themselves for a global competitive stance and have proved that leapfrogging exists in IT development, the vast majority of Asians have yet to make a phone call, much less use a computer. The track on IT in Asia seeks to showcase IT/IS research and implementations that address these and other issues relating to the use of IT in Asia.
