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
