Abstract
This article analyses research published in the previous 11 IFIP TC8 WG 8.6 conferences held between 1993 and 2008. Analysis of the published material includes examining variables such as most active authors, citation analysis, universities associated with the most publications, geographic diversity, and authors’ backgrounds. The keyword analysis suggests that IFIP WG 8.6 research has evolved from examining basic issues such as organizational impact of technology adoption and technology transfer to contemporary issues such as open innovation. We suggest this research has implications for researchers, conference organizers, and research institutions.
