Subject: CFP: E-Commerce and SMEs - ISOneWorld April 2002 Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 11:35:41 +1100 From: Stephen Burgess stephen.burgess@VU.EDU.AU To: ISWORLD@LISTSERV.HEANET.IE

TRACK: E-Commerce and SMEs CHAIR: Stephen Burgess, School of Information Systems, Victoria University

Final submission due: November 16, 2001.

Refer: http://www.ISOneWorld.org

The ISOneWorld Conference and Convention will be held April 4 - 5, 2002 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

TRACK DESCRIPTION AND THEME:

Small and medium sized businesses around the world are connecting to the internet at a rapid rate. In some countries, 30-50% of small businesses already have their own home pages. They are doing this in a climate of uncertainty - they lack resources (time and money) to devote to an effective evaluation of internet technologies and they lack the skills to use those technologies effectively. However, they do recognise that 'something is happening' and that they need to be involved!

This call for papers seeks to encourage submissions that relate to the more 'general' definition of e-commerce for SMEs. Submissions related to any aspect of the use of internet technologies in SMEs are encouraged, especially those that relate to the relationship between research and practice (the conference theme).

Possible topics include (but are not limited to): - 'SMe-commerce' business applications - training for SMe-commerce - SME use of the internet for business research - adoption of internet technologies by SMEs - inhibitors/enablers for SMe-commerce

PLEASE SEND ALL SUBMISSIONS TO: admin@isoneworld.org

Also note - there is another track in the conference, specifically aimed at the use of IT in small business. Submissions are also encouraged for this track.

Regards,

Stephen Burgess School of Information Systems Victoria University
