International Journal of Electronic Trade (IJETrade)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Why people would enrol in subscription plans for mobile applications: a decomposed theory of planned behaviour perspective   Order a copy of this article
    by Mohamed Hani Gheith, Valerio Muto, Moustafa Elnadi, Mario Tani 
    Abstract: This study investigates how the subscription based-business model for mobile applications may be attractive for consumers with a well-known framework in innovation adoption studies: the decomposed theory of planned behaviour. We analyse the drivers behind consumers intention to adopt these new subscription plans, collecting 223 responses to an online survey studied with the PLS-SEM approach. The results show that this framework is useful to understand why people want these plans and how service providers could target specific market segments exploiting how users take advantage of these plans. We contribute to the emerging research stream on new business models for mobile applications and we give a fresh perspective on this new business models attractivity and it helps scholars, and practitioners as well, to frame it. This study offers some avenues of future research and challenges for several stakeholders.
    Keywords: mobile applications; innovation; decomposed theory of planned behaviour; DTPB; subscription plans; business models; PLS-SEM; structural equation model; apps; consumer behaviour; SEMinR.

  • A systematic literature review on legal and regulatory innovations   Order a copy of this article
    by Kaisa Sorsa, Heidi Salokangas, Salvatore Ammirato, Laura Cutrì, Heli Aramo-Immonen, Nina Helander 
    Abstract: This paper examines legal and regulatory innovations (LRIs) across the entire regulatory lifecycle, employing the systematic literature review method to provide a comprehensive overview of current literature and suggest future research directions. Few studies clearly define LRIs, which encompass law drafting, implementation, monitoring, and sanctioning. The analysis uncovers three topics: LRIs within complex adaptive systems, their role in enhancing social welfare, and their application across various regulatory phases and actors networks. Our study emphasises that research on legal innovations should use the multidisciplinary approach to create faster LRIs, which can help solve complicated challenges across different government sectors in our society. The study underscores the need for regulatory knowledge to navigate the dynamic complexities of society and promote desired changes through LRIs.
    Keywords: legal innovation; regulatory innovation; transition management; sustainability; SLR.
