520 |a In the last decade, information technology (IT) has advanced so rapidly and its impact has become so pervasive that it is necessary to revisit the issues and challenges arising from its diffusion and application. According to a recent United Nations report, the increase in power and functionality of IT coupled with decreasing prices have contributed to rapid IT adoption and use in both developed countries and newly industralised nations of the Asia Pacific. This Region includes some of the fastest growing economies in the world and may become the largest sector of the world economy in the near future. During this time, the roles and impact of IT will be crucial to its nations. This book provides essential reading on IT diffusion in leading countries of the Asia Pacific. By focusing on some of the different applications and implications of IT in these nations, this book contributes to the "rounding of the Globe."
