Dear Colleagues:

EM - Electronic Markets (formerly known as IJEM) is a key
forum for advancing the understanding and practice of
electronic markets and commerce
(http://www.electronicmarkets.org).

We have 3 announcements to make:
1.)  Call for papers 99/4,
2.)  Call for review board, 99/4, and
3.)  Availability of 98/4 (Insurance/Convergence).

_________________________________________________________

1.) Call for Papers, 99/4
Guest Editors:
Professor Christopher Holland, University of Manchester
and
Professor Pieter Ribbers, Tilburg University

Focus Issue: International Information Systems

Call for Papers focused on the emergence of international
information systems across different industrial sectors. In
addition, EM is searching for interesting and rigorous work
in other subject domains with a significant IS content.

The issue will adopt a sectoral view with particular
interest in papers written on those sectors in which
industry collision figures prominently(e.g. retailing
and financial services). The approach is designed to
ensure empirical validity and encourages theoretical
diversity. It will also provide a valuable collection
of papers in one source to illustrate globalisation and
IT for teaching and consultancy purposes.

A List of Possible Topics includes, but is not limited to:
1. Automotive
2. Retail
3. Financial services including banking and insurance
4. Pharmaceuticals
5. Chemicals
6. Travel and Leisure
7. Manufacturing
8. Education
9. Electronics
10. Textiles

EM accepts short papers up to 2500 words, or long papers
up to 5000 words.  Please refer to the contributors
section at http://www.electronicmarkets.org for our
templates and more specifications.

The deadline for submissions will be May 31, 1999.
The issue will be published in mid-September.

In 99/4, there will be a secondary focus on electronic
commerce and financial services.

Please do not hesitate to contact me, if you have
any questions.  Regarding the financial services
topic, or EM - Electronic Markets in general,
please contact Brigette Buchet, Executive
Editor at [email-masked].

Best regards,

Chris Holland
