Abstract
This exploratory study compares the adoption and use of ICT in the developing nations of
Vietnam and Thailand by examining the nature and structure of the IT profession in medium
to large size organizations. A theoretical framework is used with three related components:
domains of IT professional expertise; the scope of the IT professional’s knowledge, skills,
and experience; and specific knowledge and skills associated with the domains of
professional expertise. The findings provide insights that are not found in existing reports
which address ICT issues at a national rather than an organizational level. In particular,
findings concerned with the first two components of the framework for both nations are
compared to predictions about the adoption and use of ICT in organizations in
technologically developed nations.
