The international scholarly community has taken a variety of approaches to question the impact of information society research on populations in the Global South. This book addresses two aspects-Impact of research: How is the research on ICTs in the Global South playing a role in creating an Information Society? (for example, policy formulation, implementation in practice, and shaping of public opinion), Secondly, what does the Research on Impact reveal: What is the evidence for the impact of ICTs on society? The volume brings together a multiplicity of voices from developing countries and approaches within the social scientific community to address these vital questions. |

His main contributions to sociology have been theorizing (1) the role new media technologies play in facilitating the development and diffusion of subcultures and subcultural identities and (2) theorizing the social construction of subcultural authenticity. His second interest relates to the increasing salience of fantasy and digital games in everyday life. |

| Asst Prof Scott Michael Anthony | Before joining NTU as an Assistant Professor in Public History I had been developing the Public History programmes at the University of Cambridge and the Institute of Historical Research, London. As a writer and researcher I have worked with organisations such as the Science Museum, the British Film Institute and British Airways to develop a variety of successful events, exhibitions and media campaigns. The ambition has been (and remains) to bring the work of enthusiasts, researchers and practitioners together and apply it in creative, productive and unpredictable ways.
My historical research deals with the inter-relationships between art, politics and technology. My book Public Relations and the Making of Modern Britain (MUP, 2012) examined how the emergence of so-called second industrial revolution technologies (agri-science, aviation and telecommunications) provided the bureaucratic, imaginative and demographic bedrock for the development of an Empire-wide ‘public relations movement’, a movement which pioneered innovative new media practices alongside theories about the social and industrial role of information between the First World War and mid-twentieth century. I am currently working on a book about the ways in which knowledge has been visualised since the turn of the twentieth century. |

ERP systems represent a major change in organisational information systems in terms of their scale and scope, reliance on vendors and advocacy of best practices. They are pervasive and often mission critical. Streamlining and integrating organisational procedures and standardising them over a single platform were what these systems promised. However, cases of expensive ERP implementations going awry has led many to recognise the inherent challenges of successfully implementing such complex package software. Research is currently in progress on these themes: (1) cultural fit of the underlying ERP business models, (2) partitioning the sources of misfits in ERP, (3) challenges in analysing, designing, and implementing ERP, and (4) ERP as an leverage for enterprise integration.
Achieving Global Excellence in Asian Companies: Strategy, Governance and Technology
The growth of the Asian market has led to the development of a select group of Asian companies that have successfully established an international presence. How did these enterprises transform themselves to capture the opportunities in the international market? What strategy and governance principles have they used? How has information technology enabled scale, responsiveness, and innovation in the highly volatile business environment? This research study seeks to understand the practices followed by a handful of leading Asian companies that have clearly established themselves as global leaders.
Tech Disruption and the Quest for New Institutional Legitimacy
Innovation in ICT has disrupted established industries and led to the emergence of new business models which promise to democratize socio-economic relations, bringing new value to customers, workers, and society at large. But as the new business models emerge, they have stirred up many controversies, challenged by various stakeholders in a tussle for new legitimacy. I seek to understand the chaotic process in the dynamic struggle for new legitimacy. What are the legitimacy challenges that tech disruptors face? How can these legitimacy challenges be overcome to achieve success? How are the tech disruptors able to influence the field-level processes of institutionalization to gain legitimacy? What tactics are used in the related struggles?
Tech Innovations for Inclusive Development in Emerging Markets
Exciting new technological innovations are promising new possibilities and opportunities for inclusive growth in the emerging markets. However, real success of such tech innovations in enabling social and economic developments remain elusive as these emerging markets are often stumbled by the lack of fundamental infrastructure and inadequate formal institutional structure. How tech disruptors can innovatively address, bridge or even leverage these institutional voids is a research question that I seek to understand. What are the strategies the tech disruptors employ to address the institutional voids and other institutional challenges in emerging markets? How do these tech disruptors balance the pursuit of market growth and the creation of impactful social outcomes?
Future of Financial Services: FinTech Innovations in Asia
Business digitization is changing the competitive landscape of many industries – the banking industry is of no exception. This research seeks to study the development of digital innovation in financial services in the context of Asia. How is Asia different? What are the unique institutional contexts of Asian market that such FinTech innovations need to cater to? What will the future of financial services in Asia be like? |
