An Empirical Research on E-Marketplace Basic Functions
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: This research is to show that functions are the indispensable elements for e-marketplace construction, and that basic functions in particular are able to meet the demand for highly interoperable and cost-effective e-marketplaces. Specifically, this research relies heavily on historical literature event methodology by studying existing electronic marketplaces through thousands of research papers, ranging among 1,221 articles published in journals and conferences over the period of 1986-2012. Based on the basic functions generated from the function published year and the function counted quantity, this research eventually shows that e-marketplace designers, facilitators, buyers, and sellers will be able to construct and select a suitable e-marketplace automatically for their diverse purposes.
