Theme:
As coined by Luo and Zhang (2010), the Greater China Region (GCR) refers to the geographical area of Chinese culture with regard to the economic development, not to political entities. This includes the economies of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, and extends to countries such as Malaysia and Singapore whose national economies are also impacted by and related to Chinese owned and/or managed businesses as well as large numbers of Chinese consumers. During the last decade, we have witnessed dramatic progresses in the GCR region as Chinese economy has been increasingly integrated into global economy. Driven by the growing economy, many companies in this region have launched ambitious strategic e-Commerce plans, and governments have been pursuing aggressive policies to open up new business opportunities and to reinforce the development of the e-Commerce industry specifically and the adoptions of e-Commerce initiatives across industries in general.

 

As a key component to business profitability, sustainability, and competency, e-Commerce intelligence consists of a broad category of information technologies, processes, models, and applications for gathering, storing, accessing, and analyzing data to help organizations make more efficient and effective decisions. As the fundamental of e-Commerce, Information System (IS) research is capable of contributing significantly to the further development of e-Commerce intelligence in its theoretical, technical, and managerial dimensions.

 

This special issue is mainly concerned with the role that e-Commerce intelligence has been playing in this phenomenal process. It is the first global high-quality journal venue dedicated to scientific research about e-Commerce intelligence development in the GCR. Its publication and distribution is bound to show the world e-Commerce intelligence development and various related issues in the GCR. It will provide academic researchers and practitioners with a unique opportunity to demonstrate high-quality scientific research in this intriguing domain. It intends to leverage the global platform for peer exchanging of research ideas and findings.
