This study applies the partnership quality theory to investigate how the perceived information sharing quality from express delivery service providers can affect logistics service performance for online shoppers in terms of partnership quality (including trust and commitment) and willingness to share information from E-commerce enterprises. Based on 421 samples of E-commerce enterprises in China, the results of structural equation modelling revealed that perceived information sharing quality affects partnership trust, which in turn affects the partnership commitment and willingness to share information. Partnership quality and willingness to share information affect the perceived performance of the express delivery services. Surprisingly, information sharing quality does not play a role in commitment. This study provides a theoretical contribution to E-commerce supply chain research in constructing a cognition, affective, behavior, and conative performance model for further research.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the commercialization of space and its economic implications for the United States. The primary objective was to assess the scope, significance, and dynamics of space commerce, focusing on its historical evolution, current status, and future prospects. The methodology involved a systematic review of literature from academic journals, reports, and publications, employing a strategic search approach with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selection of literature was based on relevance to the study's objectives, encompassing economic contributions, challenges, and potential policy recommendations for space commerce. Key findings indicate that space commerce has become a significant contributor to the U.S. economy, offering substantial revenue generation, job creation, and technological advancements. However, the sector faces challenges, including technological complexities, regulatory uncertainties, and economic risks. The study also highlights the transition from government-led space exploration to a more commercialized and competitive industry, opening new economic frontiers for the U.S. The study concludes that space commerce presents both significant opportunities and notable challenges for the U.S. economy. Strategic insights for U.S. stakeholders emphasize embracing technological innovation, fostering public-private partnerships, and developing strategies to mitigate inherent risks. Recommendations for future research include exploring the direct and indirect economic impacts of space commerce, the evolving role of policy and regulation, and the long-term sustainability of the sector. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the economic implications of space commerce and offers guidance for future strategic planning and policy-making in this dynamic field.

“…Asides providing platforms for small businesses and large corporations to test their popularity in the market space, e-commerce platforms have contributed to the ease of doing business in Nigeria. Prior to the emergence of e-commerce platforms, doing business in Nigeria was riddled with perennial issues such as hostile market environment, high cost of business transactions, delay in processing customer orders and poor response to market disruptions [7]. The emergence of e-commerce platforms, according to Okoye and Obi [5], has brought about greater flexibility to the Nigerian business environment.…”

Following the outbreak of the pandemic, more Nigerians became liberal towards accepting and engaging e-commerce platforms for their purchases. However, there is a surging scepticism about the ability of e-commerce platforms in Nigeria to meet the demands of consumers. Nigerians have accused e-commerce platforms of uncompetitive turnaround time, discrepancy between customer orders and deliveries and failure to and deliver on brand promise. This chapter explores the ethical remedy to the unethical concerns expressed by Nigerian consumers when engaging ecommerce platforms. The study purposively gathered selected data on customers’ feedback from Jumia Nigeria’s website between April 1st and July 31st 2020 when lockdown measures were enforced in Nigeria. The study found that consumers’ mistrust and complaints about e-commerce platforms can be attributed to the absence of transparency on the part of e-commerce platforms to effectively use communication in keeping their customers abreast of the status of their order. Based on the findings, it was recommended that effective communication channels should be deployed to keep customers abreast of circumstances resulting in the delay or cancelling of their orders.
