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
