Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
E- and M-Business are highly innovative fields that are exposed to constant development and change. The first International Workshop on Entrepreneurship, Electronic and Mobile Business (IWEMB) was launched in 2017 as an initiative for researchers to discuss the upcoming trends and current challenges within research and the resulting managerial implications from different perspectives. We welcome both conducted studies and work in progress. We are expecting 15–20 papers presented at the workshop. This year’s workshop will be on October 10–11, 2024, at Aston University’s College of Physical Science and Engineering in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
IWEMB is a joint initiative of the Center of Advanced E-Business Studies (CAEBUS) at the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the International College of the National Institute of Development and Administration (ICO NIDA) in Bangkok, Thailand. We want to offer a platform for researchers in the fields of E- and M-Business to generate relevant new insights within an international exchange of ideas. Our mission is to bring together researchers from institutions worldwide to discuss current research on entrepreneurship in Electronic and Mobile Business in an intense workshop. Selected generated knowledge of the IWEMB workshop will be published in the Special Issue of the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (JTAER).
As the title reflects, all submissions should clearly focus on electronic or mobile business. Submissions unrelated to electronic or mobile business will not be considered for review.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Electronic and mobile business model innovation
(including gamification, data analytics, AI, and machine learning); - Customer and user behavior in E-/M-Business and the gaming industry;
- Entrepreneurship and leadership in E-/M-Business and the gaming industry;
- Commercialization of new concepts in electronic/mobile business and gaming;
- User-centered and lean startup methods in E-/M-Business and the gaming industry;
- Impact of E-/M-Business and gamification on market structures.
Submission Notice
This Special Issue will include selected papers submitted to the IWEMB and presented at the workshop in Birmingham in October 2024. In the second phase, this Special Issue was opened for direct full paper submissions through the JTAER website.
