Abstract

There are many published papers dealing with the impacts of Chinese culture on IS practices. Although these papers contributed to a higher level of awareness of the influence of culture, their findings are fragmented and difficult to build on. The aim of this paper is to address this inadequacy and to contribute to a fuller picture via an exhaustive literature review of published refereed papers in this area. We develop the culture analysis framework along the dimensions of harmony maintenance, individualistic collectivism, hierarchical power structure and high context based on the prior studies. We use these four dimensions to structure the findings of our literature review and analyze their influences on three types of IS practices. We conclude with a discussion of the practical and research implications of our study.
