Dr. McNaughton, director of the Centre of Excellence of the Mona School of Business (MSB) stated that the idea of adopting the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program came out of the MSB's close affiliation with Sameer Verma, an associate professor of information systems, who is actively involved with the worldwide OLPC program.
