GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE
IJEBR Special Issue on Privacy
George O.M. Yee, National Research Council, Canada Larry Korba, National Research Council, Canada Ronggong Song, National Research Council, Canada
There are three categories of e-business applications: internal business systems, enterprise communication and collaboration, and B2B or B2C electronic commerce. The recent rapid growth of the Internet, together with similar increases in computerization, has been accompanied by soaring deployments of e-business applications. Since e-business ultimately depends on the consumption of ordinary citizens, this has led to more and more consumer personal information in the possession of enterprises. In this special issue, the authors offer a scholarly collection of articles that provide significant new insights.

PAPER ONE
Privacy Factors for Successful Ubiquitous Computing Linda Little, Northumbria University, UK Pam Briggs, Northumbria University, UK
Certain privacy principles have been established by industries, (e.g. USCAM, 2006). Over the past two years, we have been trying to understand whether such principles reflect the concerns of the ordinary citizen. The authors have developed a method of enquiry which displays a rich context to the user in order to elicit more detailed information about those privacy factors that underpin our acceptance of ubiquitous computing. The authors use the exchange of health, financial, shopping, e-voting information, and a large scale survey to investigate the use and acceptance of videotaped activity scenarios. This article presents a detailed analysis of user concerns.

PAPER TWO
Consumer Responses to the Introduction of Privacy Protection Measures: An Exploratory Research Framework
Heng Xu, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
Information privacy is at the center of discussion and controversy among multiple stakeholders including business leaders, privacy activists, and government regulators. The conceptualizations of information privacy have been somewhat patchy in current privacy literature. This article reviews the conceptualizations of information privacy through three different lenses and then try to build upon previous literature from multiple theoretical lenses to create a common understanding of the organization-consumer information interaction in the context of business-to-consumer electronic commerce (B2C e-commence). The author argues that consumers' privacy beliefs are influenced by the situational and environmental cues that signal the level of privacy protections in a particular environment. The framework developed in this research should be of interest to academic researchers, e-commerce vendors, legislators, industry self-regulators, and designers of privacy enhancing technologies.

PAPER THREE
Business Associates in the National Health Information Network: Implications for Medical Information Privacy
Edward J. Szewczak,, Canisius College, USA Coral R. Snodgrass, Canisius College, USA
This article examines the role of business associates of healthcare providers (BAHP) in the National Health Information Network. Current health insurance portability and accountability legislation has little to say about BAHPs and their potential impact on medical information privacy. For the good of the business enterprise, managers who are BAHPs or who supervise BAHPs need to be aware of potential pitfalls of ignoring medical information privacy and need to take a proactive stance in protecting medical information privacy within the National Health Information Network. In this article, the authors provide approaches that managers can to properly dispose of medical information after their use.

PAPER FOUR
A Model-Based Privacy Compliance Checker
Siani Pearson, Hewlett Packard Research Labs, UK Damien Allison, Hewlett Packard Research Labs, UK
Increasingly, e-business organizations are under pressure to be compliant to a range of privacy legislation, policies, and best practices. There is a clear need for high-level management and administrators to be able to assess dynamic, customizable degrees in which their enterprise complies with these. The authors outline a solution to this problem in the form of a model-driven automated privacy process analysis and configuration checking system, and they also develop a prototype that provides this functionality in the governance audit context. This approach may also be tailored to enhance the assurance provided by existing governance tools.
