About the book

The viewpoint of research methods and business applications on electronic commerce (e-commerce) and electronic business (e-business) has dramatically changed since 2019. According to the report "COVID-19 and the future of business" conducted by IBM (2021), the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digital transformation in 59% of surveyed organizations, and 66% say they have completed initiatives that previously encountered resistance.

With the increased use of digital technologies, the demands of contemporary business for digital transformation have made e-commerce research and applications one of the most attractive areas of business research. Various approaches, models, techniques, concepts, and strategies have been developed and adopted, such as e-commerce business models, e-commerce strategies, e-business applications, digital transformation frameworks, digital transformation cases, business intelligence systems, etc. Scholars and practitioners are today facing unique business requirements and challenges for digital transformation.

This book will aim to understand research methods and business applications in this new e-commerce era, as well as look forward to how the further research agenda for digital transformation will impact the future of business.

Introducing your Author Service Manager

Ms. Ana Cink

As an Author Service Manager my responsibilities include monitoring and facilitating all publishing activities for authors and editors. From chapter submission and review, to approval and revision, copyediting and design, until final publication, I work closely with authors and editors to ensure a simple and easy publishing process. I maintain constant and effective communication with authors, editors and reviewers, which allows for a level of personal support that enables contributors to fully commit and concentrate on the chapters they are writing, editing, or reviewing. I assist authors in the preparation of their full chapter submissions and track important deadlines and ensure they are met. I help to coordinate internal processes such as linguistic review, and monitor the technical aspects of the process. As an ASM I am also involved in the acquisition of editors. Whether that be identifying an exceptional author and proposing an editorship collaboration, or contacting researchers who would like the opportunity to work with IntechOpen, I establish and help manage author and editor acquisition and contact.
