We develop an analytical framework to investigate the competitive implications of secondary electronic marketplaces which promote concurrent selling of new and used information goods. In secondary markets where suppliers cannot directly use second-hand goods for practicing intertemporal price discrimination, the threat of cannibalization of new goods by used goods become significant. We examine...

This paper investigates the comparative role of several factors, including information technology (IT), predicting the level of cooperation between two independent organizations. Drawing upon multiple theoretical perspectives we develop five hypotheses about the impact on interorganizational cooperation of three sets of factors: (1) the characteristics of the environment within which the relati...

Infrastructure innovations have had far-reaching impacts on markets and marketing in the past. The latest such infrastructure revolution -the Internet -is presently underway. Marketers need to focus their attention on how Internet-based and other forms of electronic commerce will shape markets and marketing in the future. In this paper, an economic framework based on agency costs, transaction c...

This paper presents the design of an extended matchmaking component for electronic markets, which is able to identify negotiable agreements and the issues that are subject to the negotiation, in the case where basic matchmaking fails to find agreements that satisfy the constraints of the seller and the buyer. The foundation for this functionality is the introduction of negotiable constraints wi...

This paper analyzes the fundamental changes in market structures that may result from the increasing use of information technology. First, an analytic framework is presented and its usefulness is demonstrated in explaining several major historical changes in American business structures. Then, the framework is used to help explain how electronic markets and electronic hierarchies will allow clo...

As globalization moves forward, many IS/IT investments are being deployed across organizations located in different countries and world regions. Cross-system and inter-system integration and collaboration technologies play essential roles and often determine investment success or failure. However, economic, social and other factors outside the system must also be taken into consideration for gl...

In this study, we seek to further our knowledge of e-marketplaces by exploring empirically the existence of different types of business-to-business e-marketplaces. We used the reference model for electronic markets [Schmid & Lindemann 1998] as the theoretical foundation for a domain-specific model that we used to develop a set of coherent types of e-marketplaces, based on data from 24 German e-...

In the context of a virtual university’s information broker we study the consumption patterns for information goods and we investigate if Ehrenberg’s repeatbuying theory which successfully models regularities in a large number of consumer product markets can be applied in electronic markets for information goods too. First results indicate that Ehrenberg’s repeat-buying theory succeeds in descr...

Many electronic markets are linked together into larger “network markets” where the links reflect constraints on traders. These constraints mean that a choice to trade in one market limits the trader’s choice of other markets to use. This kind of network market is important because so many basic products, including gas, water, and electricity, are traded in such markets, and yet it has been lit...
