About ICMIT2006

ICMIT2006 continues a series of international conferences (ICMIT2000,
ICMIT2002 and IEMC2004) devoted to the area of innovation and technology
management first initiated by the IEEE Engineering Management Society
Singapore Chapter. These conferences aim to provide a platform for
international scholars to meet and exchange ideas in exciting locations
within Asia.

With the conference theme "Managing Innovation in Emerging Markets" the
organizers hope to channel attention to emerging geographical markets
with widespread impact such as China and India and the potential markets
for emerging products and technologies. The management challenges for
these emerging markets are numerous and multi-faceted. How should
entrepreneurs exploit the emerging markets? How should the energy
appetite of China and India be managed? What and how specific
innovations (technological and otherwise) could be introduced into these
markets to make more efficient use of energy? With China now being the
country with the highest number of mobile phones in use, how will 3-G
technologies be exploited and how should product and technology
providers position themselves there? Evolving around these and similar
questions there must be a lot of scope for all those interested in
innovation and technology management to think about and to exchange
ideas at the conference. In addition, managing innovation to create
affordable and successful products and services targeted for the
developing nations, such as disruptive innovation, would be of great
interest to both academics and industrialist/entrepreneurs.

We invite papers for presentation at the conference. All interested
persons should submit one page abstracts (500-750 words) through the

reviewed for technical merit and content. Papers accepted for
