Call for Papers Special Issue of the Journal of INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPMENT

Information Technology Success Factors and Models in Developing and Emerging Economies

Tentative Publication Date: December 2010 Deadline for Full Paper Submission: February 1, 2010

Additional information about the special issue may be available at the special issue website at: http://www2.newpaltz.edu/~roztockn/itd2010.htm

Information technology (IT) projects continue to suffer from frequent cost and time overruns and failure to fully deliver on the expected benefits to the users or the organization. Furthermore, what determines the success or failure of information technology implementations and use in developing and emerging economies may differ substantially from generally accepted success factors in highly developed countries. Developing economies are defined by low gross national income per capita, and are generally characterized by low standards of living, a weak industrial and commercial base, and a poor infrastructure. Still developing economies that exhibit robust, continual economic expansion, resulting in fast growing per capita income, and which have administrations that are dedicated towards developing the commercial base and improving the infrastructure are termed emerging economies. IT is generally considered to be a prime factor in the economic and national development of these regions.

The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum for research and practice specifically directed at the factors and models that contribute to the success (or failure) of IT implementation and use for economic and national development in developing and emerging economies. Submitted papers, while focusing on specific success factors or exemplary models, must explain how the work makes a contribution to better understanding the role of IT in economic or national development, affecting people's lives and their communities, Submitted work will be evaluated for methodological soundness, empirical completeness, and academic rigor, as well as originality and interestingness.

Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following: - Organizational culture and IT success factors in developing or emerging economies - Factors and models that contribute to (or may inhibit) technology bringing about economic development - Case studies looking at successful (or failed) models of IT use in developing or emerging economies - Critical success factors in Web service adoption in developing or emerging economies - Differences in success perception of IT between developing/emerging and developed countries - Cultural factors and models in successful IT adoption and use in developing countries - Factors and models that may make IT a successful tool for achieving global competitiveness
