Unsung Muslim-American Women Heroes, Natasha N. Dossani, Haley Ward

Symposium of Student Scholars

Which Muslim-American women made an impact on the world?

Symposium of Student Scholars

The i-mode, the world’s first commercial web browser technology for mobile phones was launched in Japan in 1999, encountering immediate success and rapidly dominating the Japanese market.

This paper reconstructs the history of the i-mode technology and provides a business-oriented analysis of the causes of its debacle.

The study then uses Canada and England to represent nations with ideologies and economies most similar to the United States as well as China and Japan to represent countries that differ.
