ICT Acceptance, Investment and Organization Cultural Practices and Values in the Arab World

The Arab world exhibits its own values and beliefs and poses specific challenges that are reflected on its practices of systems development, implementation and management. ICT is at the forefront of those challenges. ICT Acceptance, Investment and Organization: Cultural Practices and Values in the Arab World is a unique source of information outlining the importance of Information Communication Technology (ICT) adoption and diffusion. This book covers the Arab world's strong need for access to information systems, while still paying close attention to their culture and localization of practices. These values and beliefs are not only linked to factors such as language, governance and religion, but also influenced by cultural, political and legal issues. These are important factors that could have a far-reaching impact on their overall success or failure.
