The Seventh International Workshop on e-Business (WeB 2008) - Pre-ICIS Workshop Sponsored by AIS SIGeBIZ and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Theme: Designing e-Business Systems: Markets, Services and Networks

Date: December 13, 2008, Paris, France Workshop Website: www.web-2008.org

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Information and Communication Technologies continue to rapidly transform how business is done. e-business technologies and applications are also enabling new business models and redefining relations and processes within and across organizations.

The purpose of this workshop series is to provide an open forum for e-business researchers and practitioners to share research findings, explore novel ideas, discuss success stories and lessons learned, map out major challenges, and collectively chart future directions of e-business.

The theme of this year's workshop is "Designing e-Business Systems: Markets, Services and Networks". The thematic emphases for the past workshops (2002 to 2007) were mobile commerce, Web services, dynamic and service-oriented e-business, Web-enabled business values, the real-world impact of e-Business research, and customer-centric information systems respectively. With this year's workshop being located in Europe, we feel that the increasing importance of the design science approach, which has a long tradition in the European IS research, should be reflected in the workshop theme. We thus hope to stimulate discussions on how to overcome the barriers to the full acceptance of this approach and how it should and can be advanced. Research submissions along these lines are strongly encouraged.
