Theme
With the rapid development of global economy and emerging
information technologies, e-commerce has entered
into a new era. Cross-border e-commerce, which is a new type of
trading, has
developed rapidly integrating the global economy. Globally, both
suppliers and
consumers from all over the world could trade online across time
and space to
satisfy the demand from each other. Meanwhile, sellers get the
opportunity to
expand their businesses outside their often-saturated home market
and tap into
newer markets. According to iiMedia Research, global e-commerce
will become a $800
billion market by 2019, with an increase of 27% in 2018.
Two factors have contributed to the rapid growth of global
e-commerce. The first is globalization. Countries
nowadays are more integrated with each other than before. For
instance, with recent
initiation of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century
Maritime Silk
Road (the Belt and Road initiative for short, from Asia to Europe
and Africa),
many countries will tighten the economical relationships with
countries on the
paths of “Belt and Road.” The second is information technology
innovations. Infrastructures
and platforms conducive to e-commerce have been significantly
improved,
international logistics are more efficient, and international
payment has become
more secure than ever before.
The rapid growth of global e-commerce, however, is not without its
roadblocks. In fact, there have been
many barriers and challenges in such areas as logistics, customs
clearance, international
payment, customer services, product frauds, global e-commerce
talents training
and education, culture and social adaption. Common problems
reported by buyers
in global e-commerce are product frauds and counterfeits,
limitation of
delivery methods, failed deliveries, contract termination,
unauthorized
charges, defective products, and inconvenient returns. Solving
these problems
is not easy because more than one country is involved and
international
cooperation is often required. In addition, global strategic
factors,
government-imposed factors, market factors, and
transaction-specific factors
jointly impact the development of global e-commerce, making it
more difficult
to solve those problems.
We thus organize this special issue and encourage
authors to submit topics addressing the many substantial
challenges of global
issue in e-commerce. We believe these topics can provide enormous
potential
benefits for both researchers and practitioners in e-commerce and
international
trade industry from all over the world.

advisor or thesis student, and/or collaboration on a project or on

selected, well
known, researchers in the field. We also plan to distribute fliers
with CFP at various
information systems related conferences such as AMCIS 2019, HICSS
2020, and ICIS
2019. The guest editors are serving as track chairs for
aforementioned flagship
conferences.
