SPECIAL ISSUE ON: Mobile Services: Development and Management

International Journal of E-Business Research (IJEBR)

Editor-in-Chief: In Lee


INTRODUCTION:
As business paradigm shifts from a desktop-centric environment to a data-
centric mobile environment, mobile services provide numerous new business 
opportunities, and at the same time, challenge many of the basic premises of 
existing business models. Mobile services are mobility-enhancing computing 
services that can be delivered to a user’s mobile device over a wireless 
network. Mobile technologies have advanced at an unprecedented speed due 
to consumers’ increasing demand for new devices/services and corresponding 
corporate R&D efforts. These rapid technological developments, such as high 
bandwidth wireless networks, mobile computing, mobile devices, sensors, RFID 
applications, smartphones, middleware, intelligent agents, and the like, have 
contributed to the impressive growth of mobile subscribers. Mobile services like 
mobile messaging, mobile banking, mobile Web browsing, e-mails, mobile 
entertainment, information retrieval, maps, location-based advertising, and so 
forth, hold great potential for new business models and applications in mobile 
commerce. 


OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:
The convergence of the Internet and wireless technology in the late 1990s 
has produced a revolutionary telecommunication phenomenon called mobile 
services. Due to the extraordinary speed of technological advances, factors 
and issues influencing mobile services are not well understood, and empirical, 
as well as theoretical studies, are lacking. Enabling and disabling factors affect 
subscribers’ adoption and interaction with mobile services, which may be 
different from a desktop-centric environment. Given the current technological 
transition from 3G to 4G and the demand for further research, this special 
issue seeks to foster a scientific understanding of mobile services, provide a 
timely publication of current research efforts, and forecast future trends in 
the mobile services industry. This special issue is concerned not only with 
individual users and user groups, but also with the social, organizational, and 
technological aspects of mobile services.

following:
