Collaborative Research: SGER: Exploring the Integration of Electronic Commerce in Industry Value Chains: A Focus on the Home Mortgage Service Sector

这个SGER起源于2002年10月在威尼斯举行的欧盟-美国研讨会。该研讨会的目的是汇集来自美国和欧盟的研究人员，他们正在从事与电子工作和电子商务相关的类似项目，并希望开始合作。该SGER将允许美国与欧盟的STAR项目合作，该项目涉及对欧盟成员国各种行业的变化进行数十个案例研究。该项目将重点关注住房抵押贷款服务部门，特别是专业贷款机构，并将美国及其一个行业纳入收集。将制定案例研究方案，以便与已经完成的欧盟案例研究进行交叉比较。此外，到欧盟出差将允许团队会议和协调项目目标、方法和分析。

This SGER grew out of an EU-US workshop held in Venice in October, 2002. The intent of that workshop was to bring together researchers from the US with those from the EU who were working on similar projects related to e-work and e-business and who would like to begin to collaborate together. This SGER will allow for US cooperation with the EU's STAR project, which involves the conduct of dozens of case studies mapping change in a variety of industries across member states of the EU. This project will focus on the home mortgage service sector, in particular specialized lenders, and will bring the US and one its industries into the collection. Case study protocols will be developed that will allow for cross-comparison with the EU case studies that have already been completed. In addition, travel to the EU will allow for a team meeting and coordination of project goals, methods, and analysis.
