  abstract =	 {This begins a two-part commentary on management
                  science and e-business, the theme of this two-part
                  special issue. After explaining the topical clusters
                  that give organization to both parts, we pose two
                  key questions concerning the impact of the emerging
                  digital economy on management science research: What
                  fundamentally new research questions arise, and what
                  kind of research enables progress on them. We sketch
                  the papers appearing in this part from the
                  perspective of both these questions, and offer
                  summary comments on the first question based on the
                  papers in both parts. The principal conclusion is
                  that the digital economy is giving birth to new
                  research questions in three main ways (not all
                  independent): by enabling and popularizing several
                  types of technology-mediated interactions, by
                  spawning large-scale digital data sources, and by
                  creating recurring operational decisions that need
                  to be automated.},
