This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 15th Workshop on e-Business, WeB 2016, held in conjunction with the International Conference on Information Systems, ICIS, in Dublin, Ireland, in December 2016. WeB 2016 provided a forum for scholars to exchange ideas and share results from their research. Original articles addressing a broad coverage of technical, managerial, economic, and strategic issues related to consumers, businesses, industries, and governments were presented at the workshop, employing various IS research methods such as case study, survey, analytical modeling, experiments, computational models, and design science. The 15 full and 8 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. They deal with the "Internetworked World" focusing on digitalization, consumerization, global platforms, and transformative innovations in industry.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Workshop on E-Business (WeB 2015), held in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, on December 12, 2015. The theme of WeB 2015 was "Leveraging Service Computing and Big Data Analytics for E-Commerce", and thus the workshop provided an interactive forum by bringing together researchers and practitioners from all over the world to explore the latest challenges of next-generation e-Business systems and the potential of service computing and big data analytics. The 11 full and 17 short papers, which were selected from 45 submissions to the workshop, addressed a broad coverage of technical, managerial, economic, and strategic issues related to e-business, with emphasis on service computing and big data analytics. They employed various IS research methods such as case study, survey, analytical modeling, experiments, computational models, and design science.

E-Business Management: Integration of Web Technologies with Business Models contains a collection of articles by leading information systems researchers on important topics related to the development of e-business. The goal is to enhance the understanding of the state of the art in e-business, including the most current and forward-looking research. The book emphasizes both business practices and academic research made possible by the recent rapid advances in the applications of e-business technology. The book should help graduate students, researchers, and practitioners understand major e-business developments, how they will transform businesses, and the strategic implications to be drawn.

Because of their mutually influencing interactions, information systems and modern manufacturing systems are intertwined. They have been so integrated that information systems have become an embedded and critical component of any effective manufacturing system. The impact of the increasing focus on information permeates throughout the manufacturing life cycle, from product conceptualization, design, process planning, all the way to production, order fulfilment, and customer services. For these reasons, it is critical that we study information-based manufacturing in its entirety, crossing the traditional functional boundaries and building as much synergy between Information Systems (IS), Information Technology (IT), and manufacturing as possible.This is the motivation for this book and, to this end, the purpose of this book is threefold: * to establish an up-to-date interdisciplinary research framework for information-based manufacturing that builds on the research foundation from IS and IT and manufacturing research; * to develop a forward-looking research agenda for information-based manufacturing for identifying future directions for research and applications; and * to foster a joint academic and industrial research agenda in information systems and manufacturing by identifying the greatest synergy possible between academic research and industrial practices.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Workshop on E-Business (WEB 2011), held in Shanghai, China, on December 4, 2011.

In order to cover the subject matter in sufficient breadth and depth, the book is organized into the following five main sections:
-e-Business Fundamentals;
-e-Business Best Practices;
-Marketing, Customer Relations, e-Services, and Personalization;
-Formation of New Intermediaries and e-Markets, and
-B2B and Supply-Chain Management: New Business Models and Valuation.

Recent economic, political, and technological forces are changing the landscape of electronic business and electronic commerce. Although great strides have been made over the past in understanding, researching and advancing e-business, rarely have we witnessed its use so profound and yet its limitations so pronounced, than what has been on global public display for the past 18 months. As a result, new e-commerce strategies and techniques are emerging, collaborative value creation is essential and e-business models are being refined and developed, with special attention towards IS in financial markets, health care and related institutions. It is for these reasons (and many more) that we are so particularly excited and grateful for the collection of papers included in this Value Creation in e-Business Management LNBIP volume number 36. The papers selected in this volume address these emerging e-business issues and are organized into four research lines: Business Models for the Digital Economy, Electronic and Mobile Commerce Behavioral and Global Issues, IS in Financial M- kets and Institutions, Web 2. 0 and E-Commerce and Collaborative Value Creation. The first group, Business Models for the Digital Economy, provides a closer exami- tion of business models from a rich mixture of segments in the IT industry. They - clude Hoyer and Stanoevska-Slabeva's business model types for enterprise mashup intermediaries, Riehle's 'commercial' open source business model, Chen's interesting comparison between i-Phone versus Kindles in electronic book sales, and Lyons and coauthors business models in emerging online services.
