Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems

Aims & Scope

The primary goal of APJIS is to advance knowledge about the effective and efficient utilization of information technologies (IT) at the individual, group, organization, society, and country levels for the improvement of economic and social welfare. Through the last 30 years of publications, APJIS has filled gaps between global and regional IS trends, behavioral phenomena, and managerial issues especially in the Asia Pacific regions. Asia Pacific regions include both IT-strong economies (e.g., Australia, China, India, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea) and emerging economies for IT development (e.g., some countries in South East, Middle East, and Central Asia). Managerial and contextual issues related to information systems (IS) and technologies in these regions can be quite different from those of countries in other regions. We strongly feel that a professional journal is necessary to deal with these unique issues related to management of IS and IT in the Asia Pacific regions, and APJIS is meant to fill this gap. APJIS is receptive to a wide variety of topics related to the design, management, use, valuation, and impacts of IT at different levels of analysis, giving priority to research outcomes dealing with the unique features of managing IS and IT in the Asia Pacific regions, but not limited to. APJIS is also widely open to various research approaches.
