Cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) data governance encompasses frameworks, processes, and mechanisms for data management and usage by an enterprise and its stakeholders. It has become a significant trend and research theme in the era of the rapid international expansion of e-commerce businesses. Since 2016, cross-border e-commerce data governance has been a critical area of study across the international community. Existing contributions, however, primarily focus on commercial and operational services of e-commerce, without consideration of supporting data governance architectures. A scalable data governance architecture is essential to enabling sustainable e-commerce development.
A set of architectural principles and guidelines has been developed based on the definition and components of cross-border e-commerce data governance. These emphasize modular building blocks and service-oriented governance components and enable scalable, maintainable, and evolving data governance in hybrid, multi-cloud, and cross-border e-commerce deployments. To validate these architectural findings, a pictorial approach to cross-border e-commerce case description has been applied, and reference architectures for cloud platforms supporting data governance in CBEC have been established.
