AMCIS 2016 CFP: Information Technology Issues in Transition Economies ICTs in Global Development (SIGGlobDev) track
Description
Transition economies are a particular case of emerging economies which have abandoned the communist-style central planning system and committed to substantial reforms to adopt a free market approach. They include countries from the former eastern bloc, those that resulted from the breakup of the Soviet Union, as well as China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
These fast growing transition economies play an increasingly significant role in the global market, with information technology (IT) being a key driving force in this process. However, despite their growing importance, research that specifically addresses the specificities and different challenges of IT in transition economies is still scarce, when compared with the body of knowledge for developed countries.
The objective of this mini-track is to encourage more research in this topic by providing a forum for interested authors to disseminate their research, compare results, and exchange ideas.
Suggested Topics
We are seeking papers dealing with IT in the specific context of transition economies in their various facets, such as business, technical, social, political, cultural, economical, legal, and educational. Possible topics of interest to this mini track include but are not limited to the following:
- IT service systems for a service economy, - Innovative IT-supported services and business models, - E-government, e-democracy, and citizen participation, - IT in health, - IT governance and management, - Design and deployment of IT in small and medium enterprises, - Success factors, barriers and risks of IT adoption, - Return on IT investment (financial and other), - IT in global supply chains, - Off-shoring and outsourcing of systems and services, and - Applications of IT in education.
Important Date March 2, 2016 (10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time): Deadline for paper submissions
Instructions for Authors
The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references. All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2016.
