Since 1995, a substantial set of resources has been available on this and the
associated Information Infrastructure site, attracting well over 20 million
hits to the end of 2012. The resources address many different aspects of:
'Electronic business', e-business or eBusiness. This is a
useful general term for the conduct of business with the assistance of telecommunications
and telecommunications-based
tools. It encompasses a vast array of categories.
Electronic commerce, EC, e-commerce or eCommerce. This refers
to support services for trading in goods and services. It encompasses inter-organisational
e-mail;
directories; trading support systems for commodities, products, customised
products and custom-built goods and services; ordering and logistic support
systems;
settlement support systems; and management information and statistical reporting
systems.
The resources in this segment of the site can be accessed in the following

1. Underlying Theories
Here is a statement of the definitions I use for key
EC terms.
Here is my exposition of strategic information
systems theory (1992-94).
This is supplemented by an assessment of strategic
theory in low-competitive contexts (1996).
With Gillian Dempsey, I summarised the economics
of innovation in the information industries (2004).
I introduced the concept of Supra-Organisational
Systems (1988), to provide a collective term for a set of system topographies.
Most classes of supra-organisational system are discussed in the IS literature.
One that is not, however, is one that I introduced in Extra-Organisational
Systems: A Challenge to the Software Engineering Paradigm (1992).

2.3 Business Models
The digital era has seen the emergence of new 'eBusiness Models', some sustainable,
some dubious, and some downright fraudulent. Contributions in this area have
included:
2.4 Intellectual
Property (Copyright, Patents)
A major area of concern during the digital era is the stultifying effect of
outdated intellectual property laws and practices, and of dinosaur publishing
companies desperately trying to sustain outmoded practices and business models.
My major papers in this area are:

2.5 Impediments
Impediments to the implementation of EDI have been examined in detail in a
series of documents, including academic papers and consultancy reports for various
agencies of Australian governments.
Generic factors affecting progress in e-commerce as a whole
have been addressed in the following papers:

Specific topics that have been addressed include:
2.7 Research
Papers on research methods in e-commerce include the following:
3.
Security, Cryptography and PKI
This is a cluster of topics that is vital to e-business, but has been extraordinarily
badly handled by academics and practitioners alike.
3.1
Security
The starting-point is:
Information on data security measures is provided in:
The security of digital copyright objects is addressed in:
General overviews of risks are provided in:
3.2
Cryptography
Cryptography delivers the basis both for the security of data and value, and
means to support some forms of authentication.
Introduction to the area is provided in:
Assessments of some of the impacts of cryptography are provided
in:
3.3
Public
Key Infrastructure
Far from being of assistance to the progress of e-business, infrastructure
to support digital signatures has been so badly handled that it is instead a
serious impediment.

I've published in this area (now part of a page on Identity).

Forms of eCommerce
A significant number of papers were written concerning the precursors to the
Internet era of electronic commerce. Subsequently, many papers have been written
on particular forms of eCommerce. This section brings them together. Here are
papers that review the period 1988-2012:
Here is a very popular (but brief) introduction.

within Australian government, together with two in Austria:

4.2 Web-Based
eCommerce
Various aspects of the history and technology of eCommerce over the World Wide
Web have been addressed, in a succession of papers:
4.3
Electronic
Trading / Electronic Markets
A general overview is provided by a segment of a final-year undergraduate course
on e-Trading (2000-2009).
A series of papers has examined particular instances of electronically supported
markets, particularly auctions:
4.4
Payment
Schemes
A considerable amount of work has been performed in this area. The published
materials are in two segments:
- Net-Based Payment Schemes
- Chip-Card-Based Payment Schemes
4.4.1
Net-Based
Payment Mechanisms
A series of works relates to the critical question as to how the transfer of
value is to be achieved over the information infrastructure. Basic treatment
is in:
More detailed examinations are to be found in:
4.4.2
Chip-Card-Based
Payment Schemes
A series of works arose from projects undertaken in the period 1988 to 1997
in relation to payment applications of smart cards. These were variously consultancy
assignments and academic research projects.
Introductory information includes:
Reports that are publicly available include:
Examinations of issues arising in relation to chip-based schemes
include:
It was necessary to re-visit the area due to the cavalier manner in which the
payments industry suddenly shifted to unauthenticated credit and even debit
payments in 2010-12:
4.5
Multi-Function
Chip-Card Schemes
Smart cards are capable of being designed to participate in multiple schemes
rather than just one. A variety of publications have addressed this area, arising
primarily from consultancy assignments but also from academic research projects
and public advocacy work.
Introductory information includes:
Reports that are publicly available include:
Examinations of issues arising in relation to chip-based schemes
include:
Reports are also provided on the Code of Practice of a key
industry association, the Asia-Pacific Smart Card Forum, to address those issues:
4.6 Cloud Computing
Various flavours of outsourcing, 'right-sourcing' and (re-)insourcing have
been in vogue during the period 1980-2010. A 'new' phase then emerged, dressed
in the marketing term 'cloud computing'. To underline its close similarity to
predecessors, I prefer to call it 'cloudsourcing'. The key difference is that
the cheapest form of processor is once again sufficiently powerful to run more
than one application at a time – and hence the term 'server' has reverted
to its original use to refer to software rather than hardware – and the
applications that organisations depend can now (in principle at least) be run
on any compatible machine, anywhere – for which the marketing buzz-phrase
'server virtualisation' has been created. There are potential benefits; and
a lot of risks to be managed.
4.7 Social Media
Social networking services emerged in 2004, and were variously accompanied
and followed by participative tools and micro-blogging. The term 'social media'
gradually emerged to encompass all of the new field. And the business imperative
of 'monetising' market-share progressively saw the designs become more exploitative.
My early contributions, 2004-10, considered social media mainly from the consumer
and privacy perspectives. Here is the series of papers that examined the eBusiness
aspects:

A review of the emergence of I-Commerce is at:
