電子商務(wù)研究與應(yīng)用旨在為瞬息萬變的電子商務(wù)環(huán)境創(chuàng)造和傳播持久的知識(shí)。電子商務(wù)研究的一個(gè)主要困境是如何在貨幣和知識(shí)的生命周期之間取得平衡。電子商務(wù)的研究和應(yīng)用將有助于建立一個(gè)研究社區(qū)，為電子商務(wù)的發(fā)展創(chuàng)造知識(shí)、技術(shù)、理論和應(yīng)用。這是針對(duì)技術(shù)潛力和商業(yè)目標(biāo)的交集。電子商務(wù)是一個(gè)多學(xué)科的領(lǐng)域，應(yīng)與現(xiàn)有的信息系統(tǒng)和技術(shù)等領(lǐng)域合作發(fā)展;市場(chǎng)營銷、財(cái)務(wù)及供應(yīng)鏈管理;經(jīng)營策略與管理;公共政策;計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)與電信;和法律研究。我們將從這些領(lǐng)域征集關(guān)于當(dāng)前技術(shù)的論文，并發(fā)表關(guān)于全新主題的論文。此外，我們亦會(huì)就電子貿(mào)易的新課題，就專題發(fā)表意見，為研究提供新方向。

Electronic Commerce Research and Applications aims to create and disseminate enduring knowledge for the fast-changing e-commerce environment. A major dilemma in e-commerce research is how to achieve a balance between the currency and the life span of knowledge.Electronic Commerce Research and Applications will contribute to the establishment of a research community to create the knowledge, technology, theory, and applications for the development of electronic commerce. This is targeted at the intersection of technological potential and business aims.E-commerce is a multi-disciplinary area, which should be developed in co-operation with existing fields such as Information Systems and Technology; Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain Management; Business Strategy and Management; Public Policy; Computer Science and Telecommunications; and Legal Studies. We will solicit papers on current technologies from these areas, as well as publish papers on completely new topics. We also seek proposals for special issues on new topics in e-commerce that will create new directions for research.
