Given the uncertainties of e-business, this paper examines the role of institutional trust, which has been viewed as a key facilitator of electronic marketplaces (Pavlou, Tan, & Gefen 2003). In doing so, we draw upon the principles of research on traditional EDI via value-added-networks to develop a set of theory-driven institutional trust-building facilitating conditions; namely, (a) IT connectivity, (b) standards, (c) security, and (d) uniform product descriptions. This study has implications for (1) the nature and role of institutional trust in e-marketplaces, (2) the strategic design of trust-building mechanisms in e-marketplaces, and (3) an extension of the literature on institutional trust.

Within the process of integrating applications electronically, the traditional nature of supply chain has changed. It is no longer a linear process with raw material suppliers at one end and customers at the other end. Nowadays, it is rather a network, where all participants of a supply chain as customers, suppliers, manufacturers and distributors are connected to through the Internet. This new paradigm enables direct communication and negotiations among all participants of the supply chain in an ad-hoc manner. Especially negotiations have a great influence on supply chain decisions and supporting these negotiations electronically facilitates supply chain management and decision-making. They offer new opportunities and more flexibility to companies. Partners can now specifically negotiate on different attributes like contract details, prices, amounts, allowances or delivery conditions, all within a short-time and cost-saving process. “Real-world ” negotiations are multi-attributive, interactive and bilateral decision making processes between two or more parties. The key elements for establishing trust in “real-world ” negotiations are the interpersonal aspects like mimics, gestures or the personal impression. Hitherto existing research and applications in the context of electronic negotiations have focused only on singleattributive (i.e. price) auctions and tenders or the automation of negotiation processes. They also have neglected the fact that electronic negotiations lack the interpersonal aspects. Thus electronic negotiations require a framework offering services that can be utilized in order to establish trust in an online environment. Identity Management Systems (IMS) promise to provide this framework. In this thesis we will develop and integrate an identity management system into the existing electronic negotiation application MultiNeg, which enables business partners to engage in interactive, bilateral, multi-attributive and ad-hoc electronic negotiations. Authentication and authorization are the security services that we will focus on within the scope of this work.

A collaborative B2B relationship implies jointly executing business processes. This relationship demands a complete access to available information and knowledge to support decision-making activities between trading partners. To support information interchange between enterprises in collaborative B2B ecommerce there are some XML-based standards technologies, like RosettaNet, ebXML and OAGIS. However, XML does not express semantics by itself. So, these standards only provide an infrastructure to support the information interchange. They are suitable to integrate information but not to support decision-making activities where a common understanding of the information is needed. In this paper we analyze the integration of these standards with ontology to describe the meaning of the information and knowledge interchanged between trading partners to jointly execute business processes. Furthermore, we define the main components of an ontology development environment to support the entire ontology lifecycle.

NONCONTRACTIBLE FACTORS AS DETERMIANTS OF ELECTRONIC MARKET ADOPTION

Newly emerging electronic marketplaces have significant implications for the choice of governance mechanisms used by firms. This paper builds on transaction cost and routine based perspectives in analyzing buyers ’ decision to use IT-enabled market mechanisms such as reverse auctions. The study argues that buyers are less likely to adopt reverse auctions for products with higher degrees of noncontractibility. A significant contribution of this study lies in operationalizing and validating the concept of noncontractibility as an explanatory variable for predicting buyer adoption of electronic marketplaces. We argue that the notion of noncontractibility addresses the mixed predictions in previous research concerning the impact of IT on firm boundaries as evident in the electronic market and move to the middle hypotheses. 1
