PAPER ONE: 

Exploring Decision Rules for Sellers in Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Internet 
Auctions 

Jeff Baker, Texas Tech University, USA 
Jaeki Song , Texas Tech University, USA 
  
This article discusses the recent growth of business-to-consumer (B2C) 
Internet auctions and challenges researchers to develop empirically-sound 
explanations of critical factors that allow merchants to earn price premiums in 
these auctions. The research shows a study that elucidates and examines 
critical factors that lead to price premiums in Internet auctions, which is 
crucial due to the lack of any comprehensive model in this area.

PAPER TWO: 
  
Product Choice Strategy for Online Retailers 
  
Ruiliang Yan, Virginia State University, USA 
Amit Bhatnagar, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA 
  
This article shows an important strategic issue for managers planning to set up 
online stores is the choice of product categories to retail. While the &amp;#147;right&#148; 
product category would depend on a number of factors, here the article 
focuses on the following two factors: compatibility of the product with the 
online channel, and the competition between the traditional brick and mortar 
channel and the online channel. This is to acknowledge two well-known facts: 
Certain products are more suitable for selling through the Web than through 
other channels; and an online retailer competes with not only other online 
retailers, but also traditional brick and mortar retailers.

PAPER THREE: 
  
Role of Information Technology Knowledge in B2B Development 
  
Blanca Hernández Ortega, University of Zaragoza, Spain 
Julio Jimenez Martínez, University of Zaragoza, Spain 
Mª José Martín De Hoyos, University of Zaragoza, Spain 
  
This article shows how to analyze the importance of firms&#146; previous 
experience with different information technologies (Internet, electronic data 
interchange (EDI)) in their implementation of e-Customer Relationship 
Management (e-CRM) and B2B. Moreover, the study explores the role of e-
CRM in B2B development. Companies should be aware of the interrelations that 
exist between the different information technologies. The knowledge 
accumulated from using a technological innovation can be considered an 
important aspect of organizational knowledge, which allows firms to obtain a 
number of benefits as a result of applying systems that are complementary.

PAPER FOUR: 
  
Pricing Strategy of Online Knowledge Market: The Analysis of Google Answers 
  
Zuopeng (Justin) Zhang, Eastern New Mexico University, USA 
Sajjad M. Jasimuddin, University of Wales at Aberystwyth, Wales 
  
This article addresses the different levels of pricing strategies for an online 
knowledge market. Based on the best practice from Google Answers, an online 
knowledge market is modeled as a marketplace where consumers ask and 
researchers answer questions to make knowledge transactions. Consumers 
optimally price their questions to obtain answers, and a firm maintains the 
online knowledge market by determining the optimal price allocation to 
researchers. The study identifies two types of consumers, spin-off and 
mainstream, based on whether additional utilities will be derived from the 
market.

PAPER FIVE: 
  
Nibbling, Sniping, and the Role of Uncertainty in Second-Price, Hard-Close 
Internet Auctions: Empirical Evidence from eBay 
  
Daniel Friesner, Gonzaga University, USA 
Carl S. Bozman, Gonzaga University, USA 
Matthew Q. McPherson, Gonzaga University, USA 
  
In this article, the bidding patterns of online auction participants are examined 
and compared to the findings of the behavior of bidders in more conventional 
auction settings. Internet auctions have gained widespread appeal as an 
efficient and effective means of buying and selling goods and services. This 
study examines buyer behavior on eBay, one of the most well-known Internet 
auction Web sites. eBay’s auction format is similar to that of a second-price, 
hard-close auction, which gives a rational participant an incentive to submit a 
bid that is equal to his or her maximum willingness to pay. But while traditional 
second-price, hard-close auctions assume that participants have reliable 
information about their own and other bidders&#146; reservation prices, eBay 
participants usually do not. This raises the possibility that eBay participants 
may adapt their bidding strategies and not actually bid their reservation prices 
because of increased uncertainty.

PAPER SIX:

Business Market? 
  
Avinash Waikar, Southeastern Louisiana University, USA 
Minh Q. Huynh, Southeastern Louisiana University, USA 
  
Small businesses need Internet service to be competitive, and their spending 
on IT activities continues to grow. This article identified Internet service 
features that are important to small businesses. Specifically, it uses a survey 
method to explore the relationships between the importance of various 
features and organizational characteristics of small businesses, for example, 
size and type of business.
