The beginning of the new millennium marks a new era in global information technology and its management. While the eighties and the nineties witnessed global business and global IT expansion, the issues in global IT have now reached a new level of interest and maturity. The trends in global IT in the new millennium are irreversible, and it is imperative that we study them and address them in a serious and concerted manner. The Global Information Technology Management Association's mission is to promote the careful examination and dissemination of IT management issues in all parts of the world. The world focus is the primary and key strength of the association. While academic issues are certainly important, the association places an equal emphasis on practitioner and industry issues of information technology.
