Forwarded message from [tracihon(a)usc.edu (Traci Hong)] sent originally on Thu, 20 Jan 2000 21:51:46 -0800: : Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication : Volume 5, No. 2 : : "Electronic Commerce and the Web" : Guest Editor: Charles Steinfield, Michigan State University : : http://www.ascusc.org/jcmc/vol5/issue2/ : : In this issue: : : Browsers or Buyers in Cyberspace? An Investigation of Factors Influencing : Electronic Exchange : : Vanitha Swaminathan, University of Massachusetts-Amherst : Elzbieta Lepkowska-White, University of Massachusetts-Amherst : Bharat P. Rao, Polytechnic University : : In its current form, the Internet is primarily a source of communication, : information and entertainment but is increasingly a vehicle for : commercial transactions. An understanding of reasons for purchasing : on the World Wide Web is particularly relevant in the context of predictions : made regarding electronic shopping in the future. In the paper, we focus : on some of the antecedents to electronic exchange in the online context. : In particular, what are some of the factors influencing online purchasing : behavior? What is the role of privacy and security concerns in influencing : actual purchase behavior? How do vendor and customer characteristics : influence consumers' propensity to engage in transactions on the Internet? : We analyze secondary data from an e-mail survey. The study has : implications for both theory and practice. The findings extend our : knowledge of factors influencing marketing exchange from the traditional : setting to the Internet context. In addition, the findings regarding : factors enhancing the propensity to shop online have implications for : Internet retailers seeking to enlarge their online customer base. : : The Impact of Perceived Channel Utilities, Shopping Orientations, and : Demographics on the Consumer's Online Buying Behavior : : Hairong Li, Michigan State University : Cheng Kuo, National Chengchi University, Taiwan : Martha G. Russell, The University of Texas at Austin : : This study proposes and tests a model of consumer online buying behavior. : The model posits that consumer online buying behavior is affected by : demographics, channel knowledge, perceived channel utilities, and shopping : orientations. Data were collected by a research company using an online : survey of 999 U.S. Internet users, and they were cross-validated with : other similar national surveys before being used to test the model. : Findings of the study indicate that education, convenience orientation, : experience orientation, channel knowledge, perceived distribution utility, : and perceived accessibility are robust predictors of online buying status : (frequent online buyer, occasional online buyer, or non-online buyer) of : Internet users. Implications of the findings and directions for future : research are discussed. : : Between Flexibility and Automation: An Evaluation of Web Technology from a : Business Process Perspective : : Judith Gebauer, University of California at Berkeley : Arno Scharl, Vienna University of Economics & Business Administration, : Austria : : Web information systems hold great potential to streamline and improve : business-to-business-transactions. However, not all Web technologies are : equally suited to support the different business processes throughout : their distinct phases. In this paper, we outline a framework to : improve the conceptual design of Web-based information systems to support : business-to-business transactions. The framework consists of three parts. : The first part delineates the different phases of commercial transaction : processes, part two introduces a model to evaluate process : infrastructures, and part three categorizes Web technologies and : underlying communication models. By combining the three parts, we can : match available systems with the requirements of transaction processes in : a structured way. This integration allows improving long-term process : efficiency, and helps to identify areas where the information system : functionality is currently inadequate. : : Consumer Trust in an Internet Store: A Cross-Cultural Validation : : Sirkka L. Jarvenpaa, University of Texas : Noam Tractinsky, Ben-Gurion University : : Many have speculated that trust plays a critical role in stimulating : consumer purchases over the Internet. Most of the speculations have : rallied around U.S. consumers' purchasing from U.S.--based online : merchants. The global nature of the Internet raises questions about the : robustness of trust effects across cultures. Culture may also affect the : antecedents of consumer trust; that is, consumers in different : cultures might have differing expectations of what makes a web merchant : trustworthy. Here we report on a cross-cultural validation of an Internet : consumer trust model. The model examined both antecedents and consequences : of consumer trust in a Web merchant. The results provide tentative support : for the generalizability of the model. : : Community Level Socio-Economic Impacts of Electronic Commerce : : Charles Steinfield, Michigan State University and : Delft University of Technology : Pamela Whitten, Michigan State University : : As electronic commerce grows, an important socio-economic side effect will : be increased competition with the traditional businesses in any given : local community. Our research suggests that local merchants typically go : online in order to access distant markets more effectively, but are often : unprepared to cater to remote customers and hence do not fare well. In this : paper, we suggest that it is important to consider now how electronic : commerce may influence the health of local economies. Despite the rhetoric : that electronic commerce is free from the constraints of geography, we : argue that there are good reasons to reconsider the role of physical : location in making e-commerce policies. We show that using transaction : cost and competitive advantage approaches, supplemented by perspectives : from research on social networks and trust, it is possible to develop : locally sensitive Web strategies for businesses in a given community. We : highlight generic strategies that local businesses can use to leverage : their physical presence in a market with electronic commerce in order to : compete better with distant Web-based companies. : : Internet Retail Store Design: How the User Interface Influences Traffic and : Sales : : Gerald L. Lohse, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania : Peter Spiller, McKinsey & Company, Inc. : : Given the resources needed to launch a retail store on the Internet or : change an existing online storefront design, it is important to allocate : product development resources to interface features that actually improve : store traffic and sales. We identified features that impact store traffic : and sales using regression models of 1996 store traffic and dollar sales : as dependent variables and interface design features such as number of : links into the store, hours of promotional ads, number of products, and : store navigation features as the independent variables. Product list : navigation features that reduce the time to purchase products online : account for 61% of the variance in monthly sales. Other factors : explaining the variance in monthly sales include: number of hyperlinks : into the store (10%), hours of promotion (4%) and customer service : feedback (1%). These findings demonstrate that the user interface is an : essential link between the customer and the retail store in Web-based : shopping environments. : : Editors of Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication: : Margaret McLaughlin, University of Southern California : Sheizaf Rafaeli, Haifa University : : JCMC is published at the Annenberg School for Communication, : University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 : For further information, send email to jcmc(a)usc.edu : : ÿÿStart of ISWorld List Footer ÿÿ : ISWorld list is a service of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) : (http://www.aisnet.org) hosted at University College Dublin.

[forwarded] Electronic Journal on Information Systems in Developing Countries
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Jan '00

20 Jan '00

Forwarded message from [roger(a)MAILHOST.FIT.UNIMAS.MY (Roger Harris)] sent originally on Thu, 20 Jan 2000 10:11:50 +0800: : Announcing the first volume of the Electronic Journal on Information : Systems in Developing Countries (EJISDC) : (http://www.unimas.my/fit/roger/EJISDC/EJISDC.htm) : : The editors are pleased to announce the publication of the first volume of : the EJISDC. Our first batch of papers are as follows: : : "Bridging the Gap: The Role of Spatial Information Technologies in the : Integration of Traditional Environmental Knowledge and Western Science", by : Gernot Brodnig and : Viktor Mayer-Schönberger of Harvard University. The authors examine how : local communities can use spatial information systems to help them apply : traditional and indigenous knowledge to manage their environment and : resources sustainably. They tentatively, and intriguingly, suggest that : traditional environmental knowledge is much closer to the technologies' : structural features and functionality than some Western methodologies. : http://www.unimas.my/fit/roger/EJISDC/vol1/v1r1.pdf : : "Cultural Context and its Impact on Requirements Elicitation in Thailand", : by Theerasak Thanasankit and Brian Corbitt of The University of : Melbourne. The authors report on an ethnographic study of how software : analysts in Thai software houses undertake requirements engineering. They : investigate the impact of Thai culture on the elicitation of requirements : in information systems development. Their paper provides Thai system : analysts with a warning about how Thai culture impacts requirements : elicitation, and their findings can be used for selecting and adapting : methods of requirements gathering for use in the Thai context. : http://www.unimas.my/fit/roger/EJISDC/vol1/v1r2.pdf : : In "Gender Differences in Computer Literacy Level Among Undergraduate : Students in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia", by Nor Azan Mat Zin, et al., : Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, the authors discovered significant : differences between male and female students, noticing that males had more : computer experience and used computers more frequently. Males also reported : higher computer ability and a higher percentage of computer ownership, : programming skills, and ability in computer repair and maintenance. : http://www.unimas.my/fit/roger/EJISDC/vol1/v1r3.pdf : : In "Social Implications of Information and Communication Technology in : Developing Countries: Lessons from Asian Success Stories", Subhash : Bhatnagar, of the Indian Institute of Management, reports on one of the : cases presented at a recent workshop organised by the IIM and the World : Bank. The workshop, titled "Information and Communication Technologies for : Rural Development" brought together case studies that demonstrated how ICTs : can improve rural life in developing countries. The paper describes how IT : can be used to provide decision support to public administrators, improve : services to citizens, and empower citizens to access information and : knowledge. Lessons are drawn from a description of the use of IT by : co-operative milk collection societies in India : http://www.unimas.my/fit/roger/EJISDC/vol1/v1r4.pdf : : Our final paper, "Technology Leapfrogging in Developing Countries - An : Inevitable Luxury?", by Robert Davison and Doug Vogel, of the City : University of Hong Kong, Roger Harris of University of Malaysia Sarawak and : Noel Jones of Capacity Planning International, is slightly different. We : present it as a means of stimulating discussion on a topical theme that : pervades much of the discourse surrounding ICTs in developing countries. : The paper addresses the issue of technology leapfrogging and it is drawn : from a panel discussion headed by the authors at the IFIP9.4 conference in : Bangkok in 1998. They reflect on the concept of leapfrogging, questioning : its implied merits and examining some associated issues such as adaptive : responses to new technology and its contextual congruence. Readers are : invited to join the discussion and to interact with the authors. : http://www.unimas.my/fit/roger/EJISDC/vol1/v1d5.pdf : : The files are in Adobe .pdf format. : : EJISDC does not require subscriptions from its readers, just visit : http://www.unimas.my/fit/roger/EJISDC/EJISDC.htm : : If you do not have access to the World Wide Web, you can obtain copies of : the papers by e-mail using Webmail, a web-to-mail mechanism.

VLDB2000 encourages submissions on any topic across the : full scope of data management, its applicability, its challenges, and : future directions. We welcome papers that question prevailing : assumptions underlying databases and provide solutions and directions : for next-generation data management and next-generation applications : such as e-commerce, digital libraries, and knowledge management. We : encourage papers addressing long-standing open problems such as data : semantics and large-scale distribution. : : Submission Guidelines : : Papers-Abstracts for paper submissions must be received by February : 18, 2000.

We : especially encourage papers that potentially contribute to theory, based : on real-world organizational experiences. The main goal of our : mini-track is to address the ever-widening gap between IS theory and : practice. The explosion of new technology to enhance business value, : e-commerce, and globalization via the World Wide Web are just a few of : the events occurring in practice with relatively little theory developed : to predict or even describe these phenomena. The best papers will be : considered for publication in the Journal of Information Technology : Cases and Applications (JITCA).
