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?
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.

All interested persons should submit one page abstracts (500-750 words)
through the conference website (www.icmit.net). Each submission will be
peer reviewed for technical merit and content. Papers accepted for
presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings provided at least
one author registers for the conference. The full paper shall have to be
IEEE Explore compliant. The Conference Proceedings will enter the IEEE
book broker program and papers are indexed in common engineering
abstract databases. Special issues of selected/expanded papers will also
be published in refereed international journals.
