ISBN: 9781931777032 出版年：2001 页码：348 Mohammad Dadashzadeh IGI Global

Because of opportunities brought by the Internet, developing countries have the occasion to experience unprecedented growth in the Internet economy as not just material suppliers, but producers. The challenges faced by developing countries in harnessing the full potential of information technology (IT) are similar to those that confronted United States in its journey toward a successful Internet economy. The responses, however, need not necessarily be the same as developing countries can learn from the mistakes made in the first phase. Cultural differences between nations also demand localization of the change management process that any IT deployment requires. This is a valuable discussion of the possible pitfalls and triumphs involved when implementing IT into the structure of a developing country.
