This title was first published in 2001. A discussion of information
technology (IT) in developing countries. The contributors can be
considered to share the following set of broad premises:
information and communication technologies, and related systems,
have significant potential to aid the economic growth and
improvement of social conditions in the developing world; however,
such potential is not released by simply transferring technologies
and processes from advanced economies; in order to better serve
development needs, people involved with the design, implementation
and management of IT-related projects and systems in developing
countries must improve their capacity to address the specific
contextual characteristics of the organization, sector, country or
region within which their work is located. The text thus emphasizes
the importance of context in examining the role and value of IT in
the developing countries. It focuses attention on the fusion of the
activities of "professionals" (technical experts, managers, policy
makers) and "users" (more broadly, all other groups affecting or
affected by the technologies and systems), with the intention of
facilitating locally meaningful and effective change.
