Call for Papers
for Special Issue on
"20 Years Research in Electronic Markets and Networked Business"
********************************************************************
Coordinating business via electronic markets was a big vision of the 1990s. Cross-organizational business processes e.g. in supply chain management via electronic communication were as seen as another big opportunity on the way to increase the efficiency of our economies. Research in areas such as market mechanisms, auctioning, standardization, electronic services, intermediation etc. created a broad body of knowledge, in theory as well as in practice.
"Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business" was founded in 1991 and now celebrates its 20th anniversary. As indicated by the journal's subtitle, the role of Electronic Markets has undergone an evolution from being narrowly focused on electronic auction or allocation platforms to cross-organizational systems which also includes portals, EDI-systems, supply chain and customer relationship management systems, and the like.
This special issue "Electronic Markets" aims to review the current situation of research in networked business which was primarily initiated by the seminal article of Thomas Malone, Yo Anne Yates and Robert I. Benjamin on electronic markets and hierarchies back in 1987. We invite contributions from the scientific community as well as from practice to reflect on the past as well as on the future evolution of electronic markets. We expect paper submissions to the following themes and related subjects:
- Research field:
Electronic markets, inter-organizational processes, cross-border networking, institutions, standardization, regulation
- Electronic markets and networks in practice:
Networking organizations and services, software for electronic markets and networking, business-to-business, business-to-consumer, mobile networking
- Community and communication:
Topics raised in journals on networked business, positioning of journals regarding networked business, social (virtual) networking, physical networking
- Education:
Electronic markets/networked business in academic curricula, positions at academic institutions in this field, perspectives in academic career
- Research methods:
Rigor, relevance, journals and conferences
- Future directions:
Technological innovations, regulation, semantic
