Electronic commerce has deeply transformed industries and markets over the past two decades, and continues to generate new service and manufacturing innovations. Our special issue of Electronic Commerce Research showcases new research on the technological, economic, managerial, and behavioral aspects of this transformation in services and manufacturing, bringing together six interdisciplinary articles offering novel insights into electronic commerce. QueryWe lead off with a study on the important, but academically under-researched, area of feminist consumer behavior. Liao, et al.’s “Factors Affecting Female User Information Adoption” found quality and source credibility to be of primary importance for this demographic. We follow with a study by Che et al. “Characteristics of Online Group-Buying Website and Consumers Intention to Revisit,” that identifies website-specific features of richness, timeliness, and inconsistency as significant factors in customer revisit and repurchase decisions. Subjective assessments of “trust” are increasingly of interest in behavioral studies of e-markets. Ke et al. describe in “Online Trust-Building Mechanisms for Existing Brands” providing new evidence that trust-building in e-markets is synonymous with brand-building. Linking and leveraging existing customer bases is an old strategy in marketing, but takes new forms in electronic commerce. Pee’s “Customer co-creation in B2C e-commerce” reviews empirical evidence on the impact of customer co-creation, finding in the information age that idea co-creation has a significantly stronger impact on commercial success than decision co-creation. Yang et al. “Exploring Continued Use of Mobile Shopping Channel in China” compares China’s experience in the lucrative mobile market, emphasizing the aspects in which experience in the fastest growing Internet economy in the world differ from other significant markets. Our final paper in this special issue explores optimal channel structures in e-commerce. Wang et al. in “Optimal Distribution Channel Strategy for New and Remanufactured Products” present models that will find value in e-marketing businesses seeking to balance operations and minimize costs in servicing their customers. This issue of Electronic Commerce Research has offered us an exceptional opportunity to showcase new research in an exciting and changing field. We hope you share our enthusiasm for this research, and enjoy the articles published in our special issue.
