The Semantic Web and its related technologies have been opening the era of information sharing via the Web. There are, however, several huddles still to overcome in the new era, and one of the major huddles is the issue of information integration, unless a single unified and huge ontology could be built and used which could address everything in the world. Particularly in the e-business area, the problem of information integration is of a great concern for product search and comparison at various Internet shopping sites and e-marketplaces. To overcome this problem, we proposed an ontology-driven mapping algorithm between heterogeneous product classification and description frameworks. We also peformed a comparative evaluation of the proposed mapping algorithm against a well-Down ontology mapping tool, PROMPT.

Due to the development of information technology, Convergence and Creative Economy became hot issues. For example, products become more intelligent and services are likely to be connected and integrated around core services or provided as bundle solution. Meanwhile products and services are integrated in the context of mutual supplementation, which leads to Servitization of Products and Productization of Services in many industries. Previous studies have addressed Convergence with different terms and definitions such as Convergent, Multicategory Multifunctional Product, Clouding Service, Bundle and so on from one perspective such as consumers, suppliers or technology according to a wide range of academic approaches. Thus, this study attempted to suggest the most typical convergence products released in the convergence environment and categorize those products. Furthermore, this study has pointed out the problems in the New Product Development Framework discussed in the studies on marketing by taking the situation of the public sector into account and then suggested "New Service Development Framework in the Public Sector" that are different from traditional e-Gov. approach basically and will enable the government to create public information service and provide them to enterprises or citizens. It also emphasized the importance of Business Conceptualization Stage in the framework; argued that there is a necessity of an integrative study from the perspective of technology on the basis of the approach from the perspective of marketing and Policy such as a study of consumer behaviors, design and marketing channel and Policy Integration for the development and dissipation; and furthermore suggested the cases-the development/Diffusion of Transportation Card Service in Seoul and CFC (Call for Collaboration) in Singapore-in order to verify the framework. There is a need to supplement New Service Development Framework so it is able to reflect the distinct characteristics of the public sector from the academic perspective and be used as practical guidelines for SI (System Integration) business to shift into IT Service business. Last but not the least, this study has suggested the limitations and the directions for the future studies.

Up to the present, most of the previous works, related to the alignment of organizations, have been focused on the alignment between business and information technology. Also these works have been done with single element, e.g., view rather than with overall elements such as view, scope, and perspective for enterprise-wide integrated alignment. Meanwhile, an enterprise architecture is a blueprint that represents the structure of components of organizations and their interrelationships. Nowadays, many organizations attempt to make enterprise-wide alignment of business and information technology based on enterprise architecture. Unfortunately, the enterprise-wide alignment is still in a stage of not only conceptual level but also abstract level. Hence, this paper proposes a structured enterprise-wide alignment model to overcome the limitations of existing alignment models. We survey the existing works and propose the conceptual, the logical, and the physical models for enterprise-wide alignment which includes 3-dimensional elements such view, scope, and perspective based on enterprise architecture. Finally, we have shown that the proposed model is better than existing ones through comparing the characteristics of models.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the recent resurgence of popularism and the possible impacts it may have on contemporary business and economics. Research design, data and methodology: This is an exploratory case study that examines the rise of popularism and identifies and analyzes the likely implications for contemporary business and economics. Results: Although populists tend to reject elitism, capitalism, economic globalization, and political establishment, their ethnocentric behavior is no different from those of the corrupt political and economic elites. Popularism does enable nationalism and protectionism and negatively impacts business and economic growth. Conclusions: Popularism existed for a long time, and this phenomenon will continue to exist as long as a triggered mechanism exist, e.g., income inequality, resurgence of immigration, recession, insufficient factors of resources and social welfare. The recent rise of popularism is not a fad or a short-lived anti-establishment and anti-elitism movements but, rather, a force to be reckoned with in the near future. The rise of economic nationalism limits international trade, integration, and cooperation. As a result, international capital, service, and product flows will decline, and countries and multinational corporations have to develop and restructure their international supply and value chain to cope with this phenomenon.

Through reviewing and comparing the current virtual shopping malls web sites integrated VR into E-commerce, this paper analyzed both the advantages and disadvantages of two kinds of methods for product presentation: 2D image based and 3D model based presentation method. Using the virtual shopping mall (EasyMall) as a showcase, we presented the architecture of the system and the development technologies, especially those in the mixed presentation method. The presentation and customization methods in the two related modules, including the PhoneShow for mobile phone and EasyShow for textile products, were discussed. It indicated that the integration of E-commerce with VR could provide consumers with virtual experience and intelligent service for business activities. Furthermore, the product presentation methods can be made available for use in different cases.

The consumer in the 21$\^$st/ century e-business era is developing a taste fur greater professionalism diversity, internationalism and large-scale integration of his or her demands. With these changes in the consumers preferences in mind, e-businesses need to develop a real time track and trace system to accommodate their logistical and consumer service operations. This research paper discusses the development of a object-oriented logistics tracking database system and a web service tracking component necessary to efficiently store and manage the movements of postal goods and provide real time information on logistics trading.

급변하는 전자상거래 환경을 극복하고 이질적이고 분산되어 있는 정보들을 통합할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 자기기술적 규약이나 소프트웨어 설계방법들이 필요하며, 그 중 온톨로지(Ontology)에 대한 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전자상거래 통합을 위한 프레임워크를 제시하기 위해 모델링의 기반이 되는 구문론적ㆍ의미론적 통합 및 에이전트의 운용방법론에 대해 논하며, 메타 모델링에 바탕을 두는 온톨로지의 구축에 중점을 두고 설명한다. DAML(DARPA Agent Markup Language)을 사용하여 온톨로지를 구체화하며, 프로세스 표현을 위해 PSL(Process Specification Language)-ontology의 용어들을 중간 계층으로 구성하여 차용한다. 제시한 프레임워크를 통해 정보 자원들과 비즈니스 프로세스를 정의하고 공유하며 관리함으로써 중복성과 불일치성을 제거할 수 있을 것이다.

As the most widely used media of BtoB e-business, the e-Marketplace (EM) can play an important role in the age of c-commerce (collaborative commerce). In supply chain management (SCM) area, the relationship-based collaboration among partners has shown great efficiency. Although the collaboration is important in both areas of EM and SCM there has been a critical difference in the selection of trade partners between them. In this paper, the EM's collaborative stages for integration with its customer system are reviewed and a system architecture is proposed for EM's electronic functional role within the perspective of collaborative commerce and buyer-supplier relationship. The relationship-based BtoB commerce through EM is reviewed to explain that it can be more beneficial than the commerce based on the price competitive selection of trade partners. With the proposed system architecture, an EM can be the functional medium for the collaborative IOIS system architecture.
