Title: "E-Commerce Intelligence Development and Research in the Greater
China Region"

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.

c) Aims and Scope:

The objective of this special issue is to attract high quality manuscripts
from both researchers and practitioners who are interested in issues related
