0135238ShimThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on a cross-cultural study of Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce) and Mobile Commerce "M-Commerce." to be held in Niigata and Tokyo, Japan from April 1-5, 2002. The co-organizers are Professor Jung P. Shim of Mississippi State University and Professor Takuro Munizawa at Niigata University in Japan. Participants will also be attending from Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan. The Internet/Web has become one of the most important mediums for the sharing of business information between firms and their customers (B2C). While E-commerce and M-commerce have received considerable attention, virtually all the studies dealing with E-Commerce and M-Commerce have given cursory attention to the cross-cultural study. In Japan, the recent increase of handy-phones (mobile phones) and Internet users are remarkable. Over seventy percentage of Japanese are using mobile phones and half of them use the internet/web. In addition, new "I-Commerce" handy-phone systems enable the end users to connect to e-mail, view homepages, and do e-trading and e-commerce. Several surveys estimate that Internet/Web users are growing exponentially. "Forrester Research" estimates the worldwide E-Commerce market will grow to $3.2 trillion by the year 2003. Emerging technologies (e.g., voice over Internet Protocol, video streaming and synchronized multimedia integration language) are opening the way E-Commerce is transacted. These technologies could have significant implications for the E-Commerce and M-Commerce market. The seminar may also have important implications for individuals in both the academic and professional communities. The project advances international human resources through the participation of many junior faculty, postdocs, graduate students and an undergraduate student. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. The researchers plan to publish results of the seminar proceedings on the World Wide Web.

0135238Shim该奖项支持美国科学家参加美日研讨会，主题是电子商务（E-Commerce）和移动商务“M-Commerce”的跨文化研究。将于2002年4月1日至5日在日本新泻和东京举行。协办者是密西西比州立大学的Jung P. Shim教授和日本新泻大学的Takuro Munizawa教授。 来自香港、韩国和台湾的参与者也将参加。 Internet/Web 已成为公司与其客户 (B2C) 之间共享商业信息的最重要媒介之一。 虽然电子商务和移动商务受到了相当多的关注，但几乎所有有关电子商务和移动商务的研究都粗略地关注了跨文化研究。 在日本，最近手持电话（移动电话）和互联网用户的增长非常显着。 超过 70% 的日本人使用手机，其中一半使用互联网/网络。 此外，新的“I-Commerce”手持电话系统使最终用户能够连接电子邮件、查看主页以及进行电子交易和电子商务。 多项调查估计，互联网/网络用户正在呈指数级增长。 “Forrester Research”估计，到 2003 年，全球电子商务市场将增长到 3.2 万亿美元。新兴技术（例如互联网协议语音、视频流和同步多媒体集成语言）正在开辟电子商务的交易方式。 这些技术可能对电子商务和移动商务市场产生重大影响。 该研讨会还可能对学术界和专业界的个人产生重要影响。 该项目通过许多初级教师、博士后、研究生和本科生的参与来促进国际人力资源的发展。 通过思想和技术的交流，该项目将拓宽我们的基础知识基础，促进国际理解与合作。 研究人员计划在万维网上发布研讨会的结果。
