AMCIS 2009 Call for Papers Track: SIGBIZ Track Mini-track: Web 2.0 and Electronic Commerce
15th Americas Conference on Information Systems San Francisco, California August 6-9 2009
Description:
The term “Web 2.0” has been coined to describe a phase in the everlasting evolution of Web usage and interaction which focuses on facilitating global collaboration and sharing among users in web-based communities and services. Technology advancements in web-based programming (e.g. Active Java, XML) has enabled the development of Web 2.0 applications (e.g. Wikis, Blogs, Social networking sites such as Facebook) much focused on user empowerment. The rise of web 2.0 results in quantum cultural, social, economic or even legal impact to individuals, enterprises, organizations and society. It builds a platform for nurturing innovativeness and the sharing culture. New applications in e-business and e-commerce appear everyday and results in enormous shocks to the ecosystem of individuals and businesses. In particular, Web 2.0 changes the relationship between consumers and retailers significantly. Web 2.0 has created new opportunities for communication and collaboration through social media, such as online discussion forums, electronic bulletin board systems, blogs, review sites, wikis, social bookmarking, and social networking sites. Thus, consumers can easily obtain information related to goods and services from a vast, geographically dispersed group of people, who have experience with relevant products or services. Meanwhile, Web 2.0 gives retailers a wealth of options for reaching more consumers, understanding their consumers better, offering a new marketing channel that helps promote products and services, and providing their customers with world-class online experiences.
Much of the available literature on Web 2.0 tends to focus on design and application. There is relatively little on general frameworks and empirically validated theories explaining the use of Web 2.0 in the context of electronic commerce. The main purpose of this minitrack is to help fill this gap by providing a rigorous forum to draw together important recent developments in this area.
