Special Issues

Special Issue on Digital Markets and Platforms: Technological Innovation, Ecosystem Coordination and Value Creation Submission Date: 2026-10-30 Special Issue Information Dear Colleagues, This Special Issue aims to advance the current debates on the platform economy by integrating rigorous empirical methodologies with a multidimensional theoretical lens. While the existing literature has extensively examined platform dynamics and market structures, this Special Issue will deepen this discussion by addressing the emerging coordination mechanisms, data-driven value creation logics, and evolving governance models underpinning digital commerce ecosystems. The Special Issue will contribute to theory by refining our conceptual understanding of platform-enabled innovation, ecosystem orchestration, and competitive advantage in digitally mediated markets. Empirically, it will prioritise robust quantitative and qualitative evidence drawn from diverse economic contexts to identify causal drivers of platform performance, user behaviour, and strategic evolution. From a practical and policy perspective, contributions should offer actionable insights for platform managers, digital entrepreneurs, and regulators, highlighting best practices in digital governance, market design, data stewardship, and trust-building in electronic commerce environments. By bridging academic perspectives with real-world implications, this Special Issue will strengthen the strategic and regulatory foundation for inclusive, competitive, and innovation-driven platform economies.

Special Issue on Digital Intimacy and Immersive Commerce: Theoretical Advances in Consumer Engagement Through Virtual and Social Technologies Submission Date: 2026-11-11 Special Issue Information Dear Colleagues, This Special Issue will explore the evolving intersections between immersive digital technologies, social media engagement, and consumer behaviour within electronic commerce. Building on recent research into para-social interaction, virtual influencers, augmented reality (AR), and AI-driven personalization, this issue will investigate how digital intimacy reshapes consumer journeys, decision-making, and brand relationships. The featured works will examine new forms of “virtual social presence”, where consumers engage emotionally and cognitively with avatars, influencers, and algorithmic agents, influencing eWOM, trust, and purchase intention. Contributions will also highlight innovations such as AI-based body scanning, sustainable fashion advocacy by edu-influencers, and emerging subcultures engaging in socially sustainable consumption online. By merging perspectives from marketing, consumer psychology, and digital technology, this Special Issue aims to advance theoretical and applied understanding of how immersive digital ecosystems transform electronic commerce. It invites interdisciplinary submissions exploring ethical, experiential, and design dimensions of consumer–technology interaction in virtual retail and social media marketplaces.
