Abstract

Developing countries in Asia are in the process of transitioning from a production economy to a knowledge-based economy (k-economy). Various new knowledge and information communications technology (ICT) mega-projects aimed at pervasive computing are being designed and executed at the international, national, state and industry levels to sustain competitiveness. The structures and processes by which these so-called “knowledge super corridors” are developed and implemented are complex economic-social-political decisions. An in-depth understanding is illustrated and assessed using two case studies concerned with formulating and implementing a k-economy blueprint and decision making to develop a knowledge portal in emerging k-economies in Southeast Asia. From analyses based on the structurational framework, practical implications are drawn for success strategies and implementation of pervasive computing.
