Hong Kong, one of the most dynamic and prosperous cities of China is waiting for you! It is one of the most attractive conference sites in Asia, and it is our great pleasure to host one of the most important conferences on the rapid growing field of electronic commerce. We have built on the success of 1st and 2nd ICEC in Korea in 1998 and 2000 respectively as well as the 3rd successful ICEC in Vienna, Austria.

Further information on the conference is available either via the ICEC website (http://icec.net) or on the ICEC2002 Hong Kong site (http://www.is.cityu.edu.hk/icec2002).

Conference Aims and Objectives
The Internet offers a unique opportunity for individuals and organizations to seek new ways of achieving a higher level of outputs both qualitatively and quantitatively but at substantially lower costs. Many innovative e-business applications offer tremendous opportunities in gaining or sustaining competitive advantage, reducing operating costs and improving organizational effectiveness. However, the rise and dive of the dot.com in recent years are typical examples resulting from the lack of business planning, unrealistic revenue models and poor implementation of e-business. The new challenge for managers is to learn from these past mistakes and to build on further successes in the new waves of e-business with minimal risks. This Conference provides a forum to share invaluable experience of good practices and pitfalls in the strategy planning, design, development, and implementation of e-business.

The aim of this International Conference is to provide a forum for experts in e-business globally to share their innovative ideas, industry foresights and practical experience in e-business together with local speakers and delegates. This conference will enhance participants' awareness in the lessons learned from the failure of e-businesses and focus his/her efforts on the critical success factors for building more cost-effective and profitable e-business. Hence, the potential impact of this conference on organizations in adopting or enhancing e-business could be very significant.
