<br>b)<br>Title: "E-Commerce Intelligence Development and Research in the Greater China Region"<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>c) Aims and Scope:<br><br>The objective of this special issue is to attract high quality manuscripts from both researchers and practitioners who are interested in issues related particularly to e-Commerce intelligence development and research in the GCR. Papers of all types of methodological approaches (e.g., behavioral, modeling, case studies and prototypes, etc.) are welcome. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to, the following:<br>
<br>* Distributed knowledge discovery for e-Commerce<br>* Location-aware services<br>* Data mining and data warehousing<br>* Web-based customer relationship management<br>* XBRL e-Reporting for e-Commerce<br>
* Digital supply chain management<br>* Business web intelligence<br>* Proactive fraud detection and privacy preservation<br>* Anti-theft, anti-money laundering, and anti-crime for e-Commerce<br>* Web 2.0 based e-Commerce services<br>
* Web 2.0 based marketing for e-Commerce<br>* Web search engine analytics for e-Commerce<br><br>All papers should elucidate their unique contributions to the understanding of e-Commerce intelligence development in the GCR, and are also encouraged to relate their findings to and compare with other global economies. Each submitted manuscript should include a brief abstract (150 words or less). Separate sections should be created for acknowledgements (if any), references, author biography, or other relevant information. A cover page should be included with the manuscript submission. The cover page should include the title of the article, the date of submission and the following information for all authors: name, official title and affiliation, office contact information (address, phone and fax numbers, email addresses).
