“…Regulation and rules may play an important role in directing the decision, but in most situations, Chinese people like to adopt "the individual-policy-for-individual-issue approach" (Xue, 2005), which means that the executors of rules can usually find some rooms for themselves to make flexible decisions. This is consistent with the observation that Chinese people manage IT with comparatively few formal rules and laws, because, "rather than attempt to plan for an uncertain future, the Chinese shy away from formal rules and procedures that may hinder their adaptability when unexpected events do occur" (Martinsons and Westwood, 1997).…”

There are many published papers dealing with the impacts of Chinese culture on IS practices. Although these papers contributed to a higher level of awareness of the influence of culture, their findings arefiagmented and dificult to build on. The aim of this paper is to address this inadequacy and to contribute to a fuller picture via an exhaustive literature review of published refereed papers in this area. We develop the culture analysis framework along the dimensions of harmony maintenance, individualistic collectivism, hierarchical power structure and high context based on the prior studies. We use these four dimensions to structure the findings of our literature review and analyze their influences on three types of IS practices. We conclude with a discussion of the practical and research implications of our study.

Catastrophic events resulting from natural and anthropogenic causes have exacted an enormous toll on small island developing states (SIDS) for many centuries. Several studies have provided useful insights into the identification of vulnerabilities as a means of reducing exposure and preparing for incidents, as well as to help manage the impact of these unavoidable disastrous events. However, the vulnerability hypothesis has largely concentrated on the exposure of countries to hazards that are caused by economic, social, and environmental conditions. In this article, we extend the analysis to incorporate, the deployment of information and communication technologies (ICT) in SIDS, the vulnerabilities associated with these ICT, and the impact they could have and, indeed, are having on other types of vulnerabilities. Firstly, we use Briguglio's (1997) normalization procedure to construct vulnerability indices for the three main tenets of vulnerability faced by SIDS; secondly, we formulate an ICT-specific vulnerability index (VI) through the identification of underlying factors that make up the sub-components of this intermediate composite index. Thirdly, elucidating the methodology of Krajnc and Glavi c (2005), we propose to merge the measurements of the two intermediate composite indices (the Societal VI and the ICT-specific VI) to produce a mega-composite ICT resilience index. Finally, in this conceptual article, we assess how the factors that contribute to ICT vulnerability could possibly be used to prescribe an ameliorative resilience regime that may assist in bolstering disaster preparedness in SIDS and, simultaneously, increase their ability to compete globally.

Abstract-The last few years has witnessed an exponential growth in the growth of the Internet. In spite of this growth, the global Internet diffusion or penetration has not been uniform but highly asymmetric. There are key differences in the pattern of Internet diffusion across nations. The issue of Internet diffusion is of great interest to policy makers and other constituencies since the Internet is regarded as a key tool for economic growth and development. The paper presents a brief introduction on Internet diffusion and discusses the factors that shape diffusion.
