Electronic Commerce Research-Springer (2017 impact factor 1.489)
Electronic commerce in the Asia-Pacific has developed rapidly over
the past
20 years. The Asia-Pacific Region now hosts many of the world's
largest
e-commerce platforms, including Alibaba, Taobao and JD.com. The
region is
also reinventing business models and innovating in e-commerce
through
competitors such as Meituan, Pinduoduo and Tencent. It has become
a major
player in electronic payments technologies with Ant Financial,
WeChat Wallet
and Alipay. Softbank and Alibaba investments are funding
innovation in many
new technologies outside of Silicon Valley.
E-commerce players in the Asia-Pacific Region face challenges -
they must
address many more cultures, logistics challenges and buyer
preferences than
their Western counterparts. In facing these challenges, they have
innovated
their path to success in ways that prepare them to enter nearly
any market
in the world. They have accumulated Global data repositories that
provide
them a unique competitive advantage in competing in global
markets. They
have pro-actively innovated in mobile commerce, social commerce
and
cross-border e-commerce.
