Abstract While exploring buyer–supplier collaborative relationships and new procurement opportunities through optimized use of the available resources, the present work proposes a framework depicting an appropriate policy. The proposed framework captures the technological and business basis for the integration of various elements for e-market characterization with expected outcomes. E-markets as coordination structures interact between various enterprises of the semiconductor industry supply chain (SSC) through the process of bidding and pricing system. In this regard, the factors affecting e-market adoption by the participants and the impact of e-market on customer service in the SSC are explored with the objective to develop strategies for collaborative relationships between buyer(s) and supplier(s) in e-market. Keywords Characterizing e-markets Classification of e-markets Semiconductor industry supply chain Supply chain coordination Collaboration E-market models

electronic products, personal computers and short lifecycle products. The semiconductor manufacturing environment is primarily driven by time-based competition to provide responsive and flexible supply to a customer [42, 46, 101, 108]. Shortened product life cycles and the emergence of contract manufacturing reflect trends towards rapid product innovation cycles, an exceptionally volatile nature of product demands and increasingly complex manufacturing and supply chain (SC) partnerships [20, 99, 124]. In order to retain their customer base and to gain new revenue opportunities, manufacturers in the semiconductor industry must structure their procurement process to respond to upstream-side demand and to absorb downstream-side risks without creating excessive inventory or capacity [119]. As a consequence, decision-making is done primarily at tactical and operational levels while negotiating with the suppliers during procurement planning. Collaborative efforts related to investment, knowledge and information sharing, resource sharing and R&D for technology development are project specific [12, 31] and hence short term. The members in the supply network are assumed to possess operational competencies to sustain the relationships [44]. But the management of capacity in the se
