Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of the Internet and electronic commerce raises many new research issues. The study of electronic commerce focuses on stimulating and disseminating research into all facets of electronic commerce—from research to core enabling technologies. It consists of assessing and understanding the implications of these technologies on societies, economies, businesses, and individuals. This has forced businesses to change the way in which they conduct their commercial transactions with their end users. Sustainable electronic commerce indicates a vision with a dynamic balance among three mutually interdependent elements. Sustainable electronic commerce, or green electronic commerce, is an enterprise that has minimal negative impact on the global or local environment, community, society, or economy. Electronic commerce for sustainability enriches the study of subjects of sustainability and electronic commerce, which drives the green economy for global business.
This Special Issue aims to discuss the connection between sustainability, human beings, and electronic commerce, from theoretical, methodological, and disciplinary perspectives. We invite you to contribute to this issue by submitting comprehensive reviews, case studies, and research articles. In particular, electronic commerce methods specifically devised, adapted, or tailored to address problems in sustainability applications, or sustainability methods that have been demonstrated to be particularly effective at solving electronic commerce related problems, are welcome.
