CALL FOR PAPERS FOR

 ECOMMERCE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGEMENT (ECCRM)

 

Part of the Internet and the Digital Economy Track

 

Thirty-sixth Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES

Electronic Commerce Customer Relationship Management (ECCRM)

 

Electronic Commerce (eCommerce) continues to be a significant, pervasive issue for both enterprises and customers. eCommerce is comprised of two relationship types: those between enterprises and customers; and those between and among enterprises.  It is the former this minitrack addresses.  Fundamentally ECCRM concerns attracting and keeping “Economically Valuable” customers and repelling and eliminating “Economically Invaluable” ones. We are on the threshold of a shift from a transaction-based economy to a ‘relationship-based economy’. 

 

The increasing importance of managing customer relationships in eCommerce is the stimulus for this minitrack.  There are five major non-mutually-exclusive topics within this minitrack: ECCRM within Markets; ECCRM within Business Models; Knowledge Management for ECCRM; ECCRM Technological Issues and ECCRM Human Issues. Each major topic is composed of minor ones, due to the complexity and richness of ECCRM issues that need to researched.

 

Potential topics and research questions that this minitrack addresses include but are not limited to:

Topic 1. ECCRM within Markets

Topic 2. ECCRM within Business Models

Topic 3. Knowledge Management For ECCRM

Topic 4. ECCRM Technological Issues

Topic 5. ECCRM Human Issues

Topic 6. Case Studies and Demonstrations of 'Real World' ECCRM Applications
