This book represents the compilation of papers presented at the
IFIP Working Group 8. 2 conference entitled "Information Technology
in the Service Economy: Challenges st and Possibilities for the 21
Century. " The conference took place at Ryerson University,
Toronto, Canada, on August 10 13, 2008. Par ticipation in the
conference spanned the continents from Asia to Europe with paper
submissions global in focus as well. Conference submissions
included complete d research papers and research in progress
reports. Papers submitted to the conference went through a double
blind review process in which the program co chairs, an associate
editor, and reviewers provided assessments and recommendations. The
editor ial efforts of the associate editors and reviewers in this
process were outstanding. To foster high quality research
publications in this field of study, authors of accepted pape rs
were then invited to revise and resubmit their work. Through this
rigorous review and revision process, 12 completed research papers
and 11 research in progress reports were accepted for presentation
and publica tion. Paper workshop sessions were also esta blished to
provide authors of emergent work an opportunity to receive feedback
fromthe IF IP 8. 2 community. Abstracts of these new projects are
included in this volume. Four panels were presented at the
conference to provide discussion forums for the varied aspect s of
IT, service, and globalization. Panel abstracts are also included

When one considers broadband, the Internet immediately springs to
mind. However, broadband is impacting society in many ways. For
instance, broadband networks can be used to deliver healthcare or
community related services to individuals who don't have computers,
have distance as an issue to contend with, or don't use the
internet. Broadband can support better management of scarce energy
resources with the advent of smart grids, enables improved
teleworking capacity and opens up a world of new entertainment
possibilities. Yet scholarly examinations of broadband technology
have so far examined adoption, usage, or diffusion but missed
exploring the capacity of broadband networks to enable new
applications, the management aspects of funding and developing
broadband-enabled services, or the policy environment in which such
networks are developed. This book explores a wide range of issues
associated with the deployment and use of broadband including its
impacts on individuals, organizations, and society, and offers a
generalist understanding of the technical aspects of broadband.
Management of Broadband Technology and Innovation offers insights
on broadband from the perspectives of Information Systems,
Management, Strategy, and Communications Policy scholars, drawing
on research from these disciplines to inform diverse aspects of
broadband deployment, policy, and use. Issues associated with a
subject technical in nature, but now researched in many ways, are
emphasised. This book explains various softer aspects of broadband
deployment and use, focusing on the benefits of broadband rather
than on details of the technology.

Canadians have quietly altered the face of the world economy with business models that have changed the way the world does&everything.; From developing Java and wireless e-mail to defining the specifications for XML, Canadians have sculpted, touched, researched, improved processes and blazed trails in the world's most innovative companies. Canadians have also risen to the top of the largest technology firms in the United States, providing a COO for Yahoo!, Jeff Mallet, and eBay's first President, Jeff Skoll. While fascinating and compelling, these stories are not well known either in Canada or around the globe. This sets the stage for Innovation Nation, a fascinating new book designed to cut through traditional Canadian modesty and provide a window into the fibre, minds and makeup of 30 Canadians whom the world needs to know. Demonstrating qualities such as innovative thinking, entrepreneurial drive, and team building, these profiled Canadians are leaders for today and tomorrow. While their stories are as rich and varied as the people themselves they share a common characteristic-they have all overcome barriers to make a very personal and momentous contribution to the technology landscape. These fascinating, sometimes chaotic and always exhilarating struggles both entertain and inform us as we learn lessons from flesh-and-blood Canadian entrepreneurs. Readers will come to understand how Canada as a nation helped shape the thinking of these business minds. With qualities such as strong communities, favourable technology tax laws and geographic and cultural proximity to the US, Canada is building the physical and intellectual infrastructure necessary to continue to develop as a leading Innovation Nation.
