Content:
"Xie and Chao present a collection of research on mobile communication in Asian communities and countries such as Bangladesh, China, India, Japan, and South Korea. With chapters written by scholars from diverse cultural and institutional backgrounds, this book provides both localized and comparative perspectives on mobile communication research. Exploring the way mobile apps are used in daily life in Asian countries, Xie, Chao and their contributors analyse how they improve lives, help people build relationships, sustain communities, and change society for the better. They look at areas including the role of mobile apps in public service delivery and access, family communication, cultural norms and identities, organizational communication, and intercultural communication. The investigation of these topics elevates the understanding of the cultural, familial, interpersonal, organizational, and intercultural consequences of mobile communication in a global context. Through examining mobile apps use in regard to its scale, scope, depth, complexity, and distinctiveness within the Asian context, this book furthers the research agenda of mobile communication and enriches our understanding of current practice and future direction of mobile communication. A useful reference for scholars and students interested to learn more of the development and application of mobile communication from a global and comparative perspective"--
