Service-orientation has
emerged as one
of the silver bullets in management and computer science fields. It
combines
research on economic services, which in opposition to physical goods,
are
immaterial in nature. While theories from the organizational and
marketing
science usually capture the nature of these products, engineering
disciplines
focus on shaping and developing these information goods, and the
information
systems field focuses on integrating services perceived as encapsulated
application functionalities with standardized interfaces. These
research
streams also converge in the new interdisciplinary area of service
science,
which integrates the principles, design, and management of economic and
technical services. Service science is interested in new forms of value
creation using services for organizations, industry structures,
consumers,
societies and so forth.
The purpose of this special
issue is to
analyze the linkage between service-orientation and electronic markets.
Among
the relevant questions are how service oriented solutions provide value
to
electronic markets, how electronic Markets improve the effectiveness of
service
industries such as education, healthcare, legal, logistics, and others.
In
fact, service orientation and electronic markets, are interdependent
and
closely linked.
First of all, electronic
markets are
coordination services that provide platforms for the economic exchange
of
information on goods or services and value. Second, electronic markets
are
intra- and inter- organizational in nature, and service-oriented
business
processes, architectures and infrastructures are commonly regarded as
enablers
for the interoperability between organizations. Third, service-oriented
concepts rely on intermediaries that support the bundling of basic
services
towards more comprehensive services and that operate key architecture
elements,
such as registries and/or repositories. Possible topics include, but
are not
limited
to:
* Services and
service-oriented
platforms for service orchestration and provisioning
* Services of electronic
markets (e.g.
payment, logistics, security, trust,
etc.)
* Service science and
electronic markets
* Service governance issues
in
electronic markets
* Service-orientation and
value chain
management
* Business assessment of
service-orientation (cost, benefits, performance)
* Quality of services in
electronic
markets
* Configuration,
personalization and
evaluation of business services
* Management and
customization of
services
* Concepts for service
operation in/for
electronic markets
* Industrialization und
standardization
of services
* Services modeling and
simulation
in/for electronic markets
* Service pricing and
revenue strategies
* Business models of
electronic service
markets
* Core mechanisms of B2B
electronic markets
of services
* Service directories and
electronic
markets
