Fast growing emerging economies, including transition economies, are often considered the growth engine of the global economy. Unfortunately, despite the fast growth of emerging economies, the economic gap between emerging economies and the mature, developed countries still exists. It seems that in order to truly close this gap, new management techniques, new business models, and new regulatory policies, among other factors are needed. Moreover, it could be expected that information and communication technologies (ICTs) will play a vital role in this process.

Thus, the objective of this conference is to provide a forum for interested researchers and practitioners for exchanging their creative ideas on these issues.

Possible contributions regarding the ICT management for global competitiveness and economic growth in emerging economies may include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Social, political and legal frameworks and ICT Management in emerging and transition economies
2. Unique ICT management techniques for emerging and transition economies
3. Methods for measuring the benefits and costs of projects involving the adoption of ICT
4. The role of human and social capital
5. Innovative ways for generating revenues creating commercial knowledge products in emerging and transition economies
6. Educational systems and ICT Management in emerging and transition economies
7. ICT to support small and medium firms in emerging and transition economies
8. ICT management in small businesses as a path to economic growth
9. ICT productivity studies at the country, industry or firm level, with specific reference to the social and business conditions prevalent in emerging or transition economies
10. Global supply chain management and its contribution to emerging and transition economies
11. Country specific case studies, with specific reference to the social and business conditions prevalent in emerging and transition economies
12. IT off-shoring / IT outsourcing into emerging and transition economies
13. International ICT project management, with specific reference to the social and business conditions in emerging or transition economies
14. Digital divide in emerging and transition economies
15. E-commerce effect on emerging or transition economies
