ABOUT THE SPECIAL ISSUE:
Electronic commerce in social networks aka social commerce
(s-commerce) leverages the social ties that exist between members
of a social network as a vehicle for electronic commerce.
S-commerce includes both exchange-related activities at stages of
the consumer's decision-making process and the design and
implementation of computer-mediated social environments, where
meaningful personal connections and sustained social interactions
exist among network members. S-commerce emphasizes social goals,
social connection and multi-user interaction. Successful
s-commerce requires a deep understanding of the interplay of the
consumer's decision-making process and the associated social
interaction enablers.
This special issue seeks high-quality, innovative and novel
research that explores s-commerce, with a focus on new s-commerce
models, design theories for s-commerce, empirical and theoretic
work on relevant business processes and consumer behavior, and how
s-commerce integrates and expands the knowledge rooted in diverse
disciplines and across different locations. All contributions
should clearly address knowledge gaps in the field of s-commerce
and will be peer-reviewed.
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
This special issue is open to research submissions from all
theoretical perspectives, using all methodologies, and at all
levels of unit of analysis. We call for research across a range of
disciplines, including information systems, marketing, and
management. Submissions are expected to contribute to the
development of new ideas and the advancement of current knowledge
in the field of s-commerce. We particularly welcome research that
challenges our field's boundaries and addresses emerging
concepts/themes of s-commerce. Topics of interest include (but are
not limited to):
- Systems design that enables s-commerce
- Customer experience in s-commerce

- Business value derived from s-commerce

s-commerce
