Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore how e-commerce firms of all sizes are leveraging recent and significant advances in technology to enhance their competitive advantages in the highly competitive global e-commerce marketplace.
In the face of an increasingly competitive global market place, e-commerce firms are under pressure to find innovative solutions to create a competitive advantage. Recent and significant advances in technological development have resulted in viable options for firms to innovate and to build and operate more efficient and effective operational and supply chain systems. Some recent technological advances include the expanded connectivity provided by satellite-based solutions and the increased throughput of 6G. Other advances include big data analytics, cloud-storage-based solutions for data and application, and advanced chips with increased processing power. However, much of the current innovation is a result of recent advances in AI in its various forms such as ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Blockchain, etc.
This Special Issue is a call for papers focused on the systematic application of recently advanced technology as drivers of innovation and development in the ever-expanding and increasingly competitive global e-commerce marketplace.
Preference will be given to empirical studies focused on the application of innovative systems that are based on recent technological advances. High-quality reviews and qualitative research will also be carefully considered. Unique perspectives are also welcome.
