Scope
In today's society, Information Technology (IT) has fundamentally transformed the information availability, and it has changed and is changing the business practices in a wide range of industries. Numerous of information-based products and information-based industries have sprung up during the past two decades, and the dramatic improvements in IT decrease the cost of activities and makes activities previously too expensive or cumbersome more attractive. From a global view, the investments in IT have increased greatly. However, are these investments worthy? What's the exact ROI of IT? And, what are the impacts of IT on productivity and performance of an organization? These kinds of questions are not easy to answer. There is a growing awareness of that the research of IT should beyond the technical perspective, but should also from the lens of economics, which means making use of the theoretical and methodological tools from the economics. Instead of focusing on the details of the technology, the IT researchers should fully explore the implications of the system's capabilities for economic interaction. The research at the intersection of IT and economics has been the cutting-edge thinking on the field.
