OVERVIEW Mobile business has changed beyond all recognition in the last decade. From niche applications, it has become a central concern across industries and a major topic for researchers across disciplines. The impact has been far-reaching, transforming the lives and practices of professionals and consumers in both the developed and developing worlds. Adjacent industries, such as gaming, music, news, and other media have been caught up in its transformative effects along with mobile operators, handset manufacturers, and the computer industry. While major new competitors have emerged and staked out impressive territories in m-commerce, the turmoil continues apace as once dominant players scramble to catch up again as yet more technologies, ecosystems, and business models strive to redefine industry trajectories and the locus of power.

As the top-ranked e-commerce journal, IJEC calls for papers that will make a lasting contribution in defining the research field of m-commerce. This special issue builds on the theme of the International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB 2013) held in Berlin in June 2013: "Mobility - the invisible norm." The primary goal is to foster the creation and dissemination of knowledge in what promises to become one of the most challenging and rewarding areas of research for the next decade. This includes the development of new theoretical foundations as well as insightful empirical research.

TOPICS OF INTERESTS We invite submissions in all disciplines, as well as transdisciplinary research. Papers may constitute foundational theoretical analyses, modeling, simulation, and empirical studies addressing any aspect of m-commerce. Authors may propose and validate new theories, examine the applicability of existing theories, explore new nodal phenomena, and present innovative research ideas. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theory development for m-commerce and mobile information systems - Mobile markets and ecosystems - M-commerce business models - B2C services, applications, and business models - B2B services, applications, and business models - Mobile marketing - Mobile payment systems - User behavior and mobile social media - Group applications - Public services and mobile business - Mobiles for development (m4d) - Legal, societal, and political aspects - Trust and loyalty in m-commerce - Small business strategies for m-commerce - Security in m-commerce - Mobile technologies in business context - Platforms and infrastructure
