Abstract

Successfully implementing information technology (IT) in developing countries is a daunting challenge given the presence of a vast array of technological, economical, educational, organizational, political and cultural/societal issues. This is the topic that rose out of a suggestion during a collaboration track at HICSS '97. Three papers selected for publication capture the essence of this challenge. These papers present knowledge in the fields of information systems (IS) and IT in developing countries; practical experience with the use of computer-based group support systems in Africa; and an interesting application of technology to a project in developing countries.
