SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of European Journal of Information Systems on "Personal Aspects of E-Business"

http://www.business.hku.hk/~pchau/special_issue/ejis.htm

Deadline for Submission: 31 August 2001

Overview The unprecedented rate of growth of the number of Web sites (and thus E-businesses) and the huge degree of diversity of people involving in doing E-business around the globe have made understanding the "personal aspects" of E-business an increasingly important issue in developing successful Web sites and the corresponding E-business strategies. These personal aspects may come from differences in demographic profiles, relationship/network building practices and societal norms, business practices and environments, and cultural backgrounds.

Purpose of the Special Issue The primary purpose of this special issue is to generate discussion of and research about issues pertinent to the above-mentioned "Personal Aspects of E-business". We wish to compile a succinct set of contributions to advance our understanding on this important topic and expect that the work may draw upon concepts and research in Information Systems, Human Computer Interaction, Web Site Design, Decision-making and Consumer Behavior, and Cultural/Cross-cultural studies. Topics of this issue are not restricted to any specific areas but the studies should be relevant to the theme and the papers should be grounded in theoretical framework, empirical research, and/or practical experience.

Submission of Manuscripts All submissions must be in English, should represent the original work of the authors, and must NOT have been published, accepted for publication, or presently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Papers should be prepared according to EJIS guidelines (www.stockton-press.co.uk/ejis) and will be reviewed in accordance with EJIS editorial policy.
