Call for Papers

Focus Theme: Supply Chain Management

Dear Colleagues:

EM - Electronic Markets is a leading scientific journal for
advancing the understanding and practice of electronic
markets and commerce (http://www.electronicmarkets.org).

Guest Editor: Jonathan Palmer, College of William & Mary

The use of information technologies in organizational and
interorganizational systems that facilitate supply chains
is changing the business landscape in fundamental ways.
Managers are being forced to rethink and reshape their
business strategies, use of technologies, and relations
with suppliers and customers as competitive pressures
have made faster and leaner supply chains a primary goal
for all participants.

This special issue offers the opportunity to bring together
researchers from organizational, analytical, operational,
and technological perspectives within the larger business
management and IS communites to share their insights on a
significant issue facing virtually every firm and
industry.  This special issue will examine organizational
and technological developments in and implications of
interorganizational connectivity, B2B, electronic markets,
e-procurement and supply chains. Issues of interest within
this domain include (but are not limited to) the shaping of
business strategies, technology implementation and use,
adoption of/participation in B2B innovations, development
of new and hybrid supply chain design, supply chain
process changes, relationships with suppliers and
customers, impacts on organizational performance, and
industry structure effects.

Questions to be addressed might include:

- Can supply chain technologies really provide the
efficiencies they promise?  If so, who benefits?

- Since the diffusion level of supply chain technologies
varies from one supply chain to another, traditional supply
chains and electronic supply chains co-exist in markets.
How do parallel, traditional and electronic supply chains
differ? How can they be managed most effectively?

- What are the strategic options available to firms in the
selection of supply chain partners and supply chain
configurations?

- What are the economic and performance implications of
different supply chain management choices?

- We have some indications of what encourages or inhibits
supply chain development and adoption.  Are there new
or different drivers for supply chains anticipating web
services and other collaborative tools?

Each issue of EM is also open to submission of articles
which deal with topics of general interest to the electronic
commerce field. For further information, please visit the
