Editorial Advisory Board
"Growth and competitiveness of organizations can only be sustained through the pursuance of knowledge and innovation. The latter has historically been driven by rapid developments in ICT where ICT-based innovations have important implications on business and socioeconomic development. This is mainly due to their role in introducing and diffusing the concepts of high quality at low cost, knowledge sharing, community development, and promotion of equality."
