Evolution of Electronic B2B-Marketplaces in the Automotive Industry: From Trade- to E-Collaboration-Platforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, electronic B2B-marketplaces in the automotive industry have mainly provided commerce functions. It is claimed that the significance of collaboration functions for supporting interorganizational cooperation is increasing in these marketplaces. From this we suspect that electronic B2B-marketplaces in the automotive industry will develop from commerce into e-collaboration platforms. The goal of this paper is to investigate this hypothesis. The results from an empirical study of seven European marketplaces in the automotive industry show that, at present, the significance of trade functions and e-collaboration functions in these marketplaces are approximately the same.
