Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Journal of Electronic Commerce Research (JECR), I am pleased to announce that Vol. 10, Number 2, 2009 issue of JECR is now available at the journal web site: "http://www.jecr.org". This is a regular issue, guest co-edited by Dr. Frank Schlemmer, Optik Schlemmer, Germany and Dr. Brian Webb, Queens University Management School, UK.
The Journal of Electronic Commerce Research has published its volume 10, issue 2, which includes four articles. In the first article, Becerra and Korgaonkar describe how Hispanic and the U.S. Culture influence shopping behavior. A set of hypotheses about factors that affect the intentions to search for information online and the intentions to purchase information online are tested. The results offer some surprises. In the second article, Rupak Rauniar and his colleagues identified key success factors for the performance of eBays website. This is interesting, because the context of C2C auctions differs from other e-Commerce environments. Unlike other e-commerce websites, C2C auctioneers such as eBay and Amazon operate as unaligned third parties, creating a virtual platform for the auction users (e.g. buyers and sellers) to meet and conduct purchase transactions. Shen and Eder, in the third article investigate the potential of Second Life for business activities by exploring individuals intentions to use the technology for business-related purposes. They modify the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and suggest that perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment have significant impacts on behavioral intentions to use Second Life for business activities, while perceived ease of use is not related to behavioral intentions. In the fourth and final article Hai and Shouhong Wang deploy sequence data analysis for explaining why so many online customers abandon their shopping carts. The application of their algorithm to a house-hardware retailer should be insightful for both, researchers and practitioners. We hope that you will find these articles useful and that you will enjoy reading them.
Regards Frank Schlemmer and Brian Webb
