K.U. Leuven, Belgium
Wilfried Lemahieu, Monique Snoeck & Bjorn Cumps, F.E.T.E.W., K.U.Leuven,
Belgium
This paper argues that there exist two basic forms of B2Bi. The paper
clarifies the meaning of both concepts, shows that the difference between
both is fundamental, and discusses the consequences of the difference in
the realm of Web services development.

An in-depth study that provides a process-based approach to B2B e-commerce
is presented and illustrated with examples from industry. Problems and
trends in the B2B area form the conclusion of the examination with
suggestions for further research.
PAPER THREE:
“Issues and Opportunities in E-Business Research: A Simonian Perspective”
Ye-Sho Chen, Louisiana State University
Guoqing Chen, Tsinghua University
Soushan Wu, Chang-Gung University
This paper draws upon five seemingly unrelated research areas of Simon
(skew distributions, near decomposability, causal reasoning, effectual
reasoning, and attention management) and proposes a holistic framework of
attention-based information systems for firms to frame an enduring
competitive strategy in the digital economy.
PAPER FOUR:
“Semiautomatic Derivation and Use of Personal Privacy Policies in E-
Business”
George Yee & Larry Korba, National Research Council Canada, Canada
In this paper, the authors define the content of personal privacy policies

then present two semiautomated approaches for the derivation of personal
privacy policies.

“Effects of Perceived Risks on Adoption of Internet Banking Services: An
Empirical Investigation in Taiwan”
Wen-Jang Jih, Middle Tennessee State University, USA
Shu-Yeng Wong & Tsung-Bin Chang, Da-Yeh University, Taiwan, ROC
This research examines usages of Internet banking services, investigates
the nature and sources of customers’ perceived risks, and tests hypotheses
with regard to impacts of perceived risks on Internet banking adoption.
