Abstract
Digital inclusion (DI) is acknowledged not just as a foundation for economic advancement, but also as a noteworthy catalyst for societal development. This will lead to the reduction of the digital gap. Nevertheless, the pursuit of achieving DI has not undergone substantial scholarly examination. Through an in-depth analysis of the highly successful TaoBao Village in rural China, we propose a procedural framework illustrating the evolution of digital inclusion. This investigation highlights that the realization of digital inclusion relies on a self-determination mechanism, progressing through three distinct phases. Each phase, in turn, consists of three steps: Establishing motivational drivers, facilitating IS capabilities and extend of digital inclusion. Thus, this article constructs and presents a comprehensive process model of digital inclusion that vividly portrays the implementation of these three pivotal steps to bridge the digital divide.

Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that are consistent to the following submission themes: (a) Cross-National Studies. These need not be cross-culture per se. These studies lead to understanding of IT as it leaves one nation and is built/bought/used in another. Generally, these studies bring to light transferability issues and they challenge if practices in one nation transfer. (b) Cross-Cultural Studies. These need not be cross-nation. Cultures could be across regions that share a similar culture. They can also be within nations. These studies lead to understanding of IT as it leaves one culture and is built/bought/used in another. Generally, these studies bring to light transferability issues and they challenge if practices in one culture transfer.
