Technology has a great potential to change the way we live our lives. Numerous inventions over centuries have helped us to combat diseases and adapt our life to changing environmental complexities. As the developed economies leap frog to the next level of growth, the emerging economies are still struggling with lots of issues to manage in the realms of education, healthcare, transport, energy, environment, agriculture and shelter among others. There is still a large proportion of the population which is still struggling to have access to basic facilities in life.
The World Development Indicators (2008) indicate that in 2005 more than 770 million were illiterate which is about 64 percent. Addressing various challenges in developing nations is a key priority to work towards a scenario where people have an equitable access to resources. Here, technology can play a key role in making a difference to the lives of so many people providing a better quality of life.
The Journal of Technology Management for Growing Economies (JTMGE) has therefore been created to assess and debate about relevant technologies which could bring about a change in growing economies.
JTMGE is a biannual peer reviewed international journal.

The focus of this journal is two fold:
1. Research that can be used.
2. Research which focuses on applications
The sectors that this journal focuses on ranges from services to manufacturing spanning from healthcare, education, telecommunication, transport, infrastructure, IT, software, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, automobiles, energy etc. The papers could focus on conceptual and theoretical underpinnings, application based papers, empirical contributions. The case studies are particularly very welcome. The robustness of research is a key element. The journal would very much welcome contributions in areas such as sustainable development, energy, environment, sustainable entrepreneurship as themes underpinning technology development. The research featuring in the journal should have qualitative implications as well. A good mix of qualitative and quantitative approaches would be desirable. Research which focuses only on quantitative approach would not be appropriate.
