Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 4th International Conference on Social Sciences and Intelligence Management 2024 (SSIM 2024) will be held in Taichung City, Taiwan, on December 20-22 2024. It promises to be an exciting event, uniting scholars, researchers, and professionals from around the world to discuss and explore the latest trends and advancements in social sciences and intelligence management. This year’s theme, "New Trends in Social Sciences and Intelligence Management," focuses on the innovative approaches and emerging paradigms shaping these dynamic disciplines. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected and complex, the intersection of social sciences and intelligence management has become more critical than ever. SSIM 2024 will offer a multidisciplinary platform for attendees to share research findings, exchange ideas, and collaborate on cutting-edge solutions to address contemporary societal challenges.

This topic, titled “Social Sciences and Intelligence Management, 2nd Volume”, includes five journals: Education Sciences, Journal of Intelligence, Social Sciences, Societies, and Languages. It aims to publish excellent papers, both ones selected from SSIM 2024 and other high-quality papers from relevant fields.

Cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) is rapidly growing as a global trade engine. Simultaneously, its rapid expansion also poses environmental challenges and worsens supply chain sustainability. Advanced information technology (IT) significantly enhances supply chain visibility and promotes cooperation, thereby improving the efficiency and sustainability of CBEC supply chains. However, the application of IT is accompanied by an increase in service costs, necessitating a comprehensive balance for enterprises. This paper constructs a CBEC supply chain consisting of an overseas supplier and two merchants, where one merchant adopts advanced IT to provide differentiated services. A game-theoretic model is employed to analyze the IT application decisions under price and service competition in supply chain members’ cooperative and non-cooperative scenarios. The results indicate that service differentiation generated by advanced IT is influenced by consumer preferences. Merely applying advanced IT may not necessarily improve competitiveness and efficiency, and may even lead to negative utility. When the products sold are similar and the service cost coefficient is constant, those who apply advanced IT to provide higher service levels can gain competitive advantages and obtain more profits. When the service differentiation between merchants is constant, CBEC supply chains implementing centralized strategies can achieve greater profits. Full article
