“…This argument is in line with [6] finding that Korea proactively adopted KII, because "if Korea did not…its industry might not be able to compete in the globalize economy, and the nation might be left farther behind developed countries." Therefore, the success of NII efforts is evaluated on the basis of their contribution to national economic progress [7]. That is, the NII efforts may fade if they are not seen as contributors to economic process.…”

Recently, the Korean government launched the IT839 project with the objective of converting Korea into a ubiquitous information society. This study investigates the role of the Korean government in the development of the national information infrastructure and the realization of IT839 vision. This paper reviews the historic and individual data related to the infrastructure project, draws on the social construction of technology theory as a framework for interpreting such data, traces the transformations and translation of this data in the public, political, and social discourse, and discusses the next generation of information infrastructure. Findings imply that despite optimistic prospects and proactive drive, uncertainty still remains with respect to where IT839 will evolve and how it will impact the new information milieu.

“…Avgerou [13], [14] proposes two perspectives of ICTD research to understand the different purpose of theories in this field. First is the technology-transfer or top-down approach, which classify every research and practices where project initiators such as government, NGOs, and vendors try to diffuse new technology to certain groups / communities.…”

“…Multilevel of analysis, on the other hand, which examines the interaction between levels to understand the holistic perspective of ICT implementation (e.g. examine macro-sociopolitical factor affecting local context adaptation of ICT) [14] seems to be lacking in number e.g. , [43], [44].…”

“…Several other reviews generally concentrated on examining specific topic such as ICT Barriers and Success Factors [4], ICTD project outcomes [5], healthcare informatics [6], [7], e-government adoption and implementation [8], [9], Human Computer Interaction [10], and even gender issue [11]. In addition, previous reviews also have an issue with methodological limitation, which is generally found in expert review articles [12]- [14]. While some articles have already used IS journals, [15]- [17], these studies limited their source pool into only subjectively popular IS journals (9,11, and 8 journals respectively).…”

Despite a huge number of Information and Communications Technology for Development (ICTD) research so far, little is known about the landscape of published articles in Information Systems (IS) literature. This paper systematically reviews extant ICTD research published in the IS field from 1980-2016. The author systematically analyzed 192 articles published in A* and A-rank IS journals and explored which theoretical lenses, contexts, units of analysis, types of technology, and research methods dominate extant research in the field. As such, this present work provides a unique snapshot of the current research landscape that can help future ICTD field progress.

“…In particular, the penetration of the Internet in developing countries, which lag far behind North America and Europe, is an outstanding issue in the existence of 'haves' and 'have-nots' in the cyberspace, (e.g. (Bhatnagar, 1997;Blanning, Bui, & Tan, 1997;Clark & Lai, 1998;Kim & Hong, 1997)). …”

The 'digital divide' between developed and non-developed countries in terms of adoption of new technologies and particularly the Internet and electronic commerce is a heavily debated issue. In this paper we examine its manifestation in the area of south eastern Europe which is in a less advanced position compared to western Europe. We use data from 8 counties, collected from local key stakeholders such as government agencies and professional bodies. We use a framework developed by King et al. (1994) regarding institutional actions related to IT diffusion and examine the ones pursued by regional policy makers for the diffusion of electronic commerce. The data are presented by using SWOT analysis with the view to portray the situation of electronic commerce adoption in each country under investigation. A collective analysis of the research findings offers the possibility to extract the "success factors" in government intervention in supporting electronic commerce diffusion. Our aim is to provide recommendations about good practices in electronic commerce policy making in the region towards the elimination of the digital divide with western Europe.
