From<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>niche applications, it has become a central concern across industries and a<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>major topic for researchers across disciplines. The impact has been<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>far-reaching, transforming the lives and practices of professionals and<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>consumers in both the developed and developing worlds. Adjacent industries,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>such as gaming, music, news, and other media have been caught up in its<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>transformative effects along with mobile operators, handset manufacturers,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>and the computer industry. While major new competitors have emerged and<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>staked out impressive territories in m-commerce, the turmoil continues apace<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>as once dominant players scramble to catch up again as yet more<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>technologies, ecosystems, and business models strive to redefine industry<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>trajectories and the locus of power. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>As the top-ranked e-commerce journal, IJEC calls for papers that will make a<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>lasting contribution in defining the research field of m-commerce. This<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>special issue builds on the theme of the International Conference on Mobile<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Business (ICMB 2013) held in Berlin in June 2013: "Mobility - the invisible<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>norm." The primary goal is to foster the creation and dissemination of<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>knowledge in what promises to become one of the most challenging and<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>rewarding areas of research for the next decade. This includes the<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>development of new theoretical foundations as well as insightful empirical<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>research. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>TOPICS OF INTERESTS<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>We invite submissions in all disciplines, as well as transdisciplinary<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>research.
