While research in Information Systems recognizes the importance of Information Technology in a global context, it continues to focus on a narrow view of IT adoption. In recognizing that the majority of innovations in IT are taking place in developing countries, it is important to find out what research is being undertaken to understand the effects of the different technologies on development outcomes. This paper conducts a cluster analysis of 214 papers from the SigGlobDev Workshop, the Information Technology for Development Journal and other Information Systems Journals and conferences which have published papers in Information Systems and Global Development. This analysis throws light on the ways in which research is being undertaken in this area. The contribution of this paper lies in identifying the key areas in which Information Systems research is addressing the ways that development outcomes are or are not being addressed, and it highlights areas that still need to be investigated.

A Cluster Analysis of Research in Information Technology for Global Development: Where to from here?

The use of IT to support global processes has opened up opportunities for some countries to source skills from other countries often located in very different parts of the world. This study investigates the relationship between ICT Capacity and Skills and their effects on Economic Development from 2001 to 2005 for each of the 183 countries that are members of the United Nations. Following an analysis of ICT Capacity and its relationship to Skills and Economic Development, this paper reports positive correlations. The contribution of this paper is in the development and testing of a conceptual model that illustrates these correlations and explains why digital divides are narrowing in some countries but widening in others. This relationship between ICT capacity and skills has implications for the global sourcing of skills between countries and regions.

Theory to Inform Practice to Build Theory: Are Emerging Economies in a Cyclical Relationship with their Information and Communication Technologies?

In designing, implementing, and evaluating distributed group support, it is necessary to consider the organisational considerations that affect the nature of support required for distributed work environments. This paper describes some of the challenges facing organisations using distributed group support and explores alternative approaches for researching these it concludes with a multi-disciplinary research perspective for building improved knowledge. This has implications for both researchers attempting to explain and predict the contextual forces driving the use of and practitioners hoping to support changing organisations with distributed group support systems.
