Description:
|
The
distinct challenges that the Latin
America region faces are related to economic,
political, social, and business environments that prevail in
these countries. There is evidence of unique innovations
regarding the use of ICTs in the
region. Latin America is in a
unique position to show us something about the adoption of
information technology to different regional contexts. The
region has experienced economic reforms, increasing political
stability, and the growth of technological infrastructure. It
is also important that scholars in the region compare the
variety of technological and organizational approaches, both
successes and failures, with experiences throughout the
western hemisphere, including the U.S. and Canada. Scholars
from the region will learn from similar experiences in other
countries, which will foster cross-national collaboration.
This mini-track provides a forum for research that furthers
our understanding of the use of information technology in
Latin America both in the
public and private sectors. This year we have a special
emphasis on the relevance of IT in Latin
America. |
