The editors see the scope and merit of the journal in its recognition of Bthe transformational role of information and communication technology (IT) in changing the interaction between organizations and customers^ (http://www.electronicmarkets.org/about-em/ scope/). In the early years of the journal, this transformation was predominantly driven by the increasing availability of the internet, which allowed networked-driven business innovations to emerge. Today, recent advances in the capabilities to store and analyze the wealth of data that is created by network business have become the transformational engine pushing the industry towards more data-driven innovations (Alt and Zimmermann 2014). Not surprisingly, the journal has recently addressed this development by dedicated special issues and papers, such as the special issue on BBig Data Analytics and Electronic Markets^ (Volume 27, Issue 3, 2017).

Selected, high quality papers of this track and some authors of other tracks with topics related to Bdata-driven innovations in electronic markets^ were invited to submit an extended and revised version for this special issue. This also included the paper BIs paid search overrated?^ by Daniel Schlangenotto and Dennis Kundisch, which has received the WI 2017 best paper award. We could finally accept four papers that are presented in the issue at hand. In this context, we would like to thank all reviewers and authors as well as the editors of Electronic Markets. Without their support and contributions this special issue would not have been possible.
Overview of the papers in the special issue While several authors have already drafted a research agenda for big data and analytics in general (e.g., Abbasi e
