Abstract
IT convergence is a prevalent phenomenon now a days. It is becoming important to understand the impacts of IT convergence on global IT management. We identify the need for global strategies for firms to leverage resources and competencies across the globe to develop standard, customizable platforms and IT-enabled products. We also discuss localization strategies that can help meet the diverse needs of different countries/regions. Finally, we identify some of the global IT/information system (IS) management responses to challenges and opportunities arising from the convergence that should be addressed in future research.
