| Title of paper | Impact of e-commerce on the global economy |
| Abstract | Electronic commerce is a way of doing business that involves openness, connectivity and integration. It will reshape all industries, markets and the entire global economy. The fundamentals of traditional economic principles and marketing principles are going to change. Electronic commerce will change business processes and human performance. Business-to-business (B2B) processes are affected by the same technology and network as the business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-government (B2G) processes. The e-commerce opens up the enterprise to include suppliers, service providers, government agencies, customers and even other competing businesses as partners. It connects the new, expanded enterprise through a universal electronic medium. It requires the integration and alignment of technology, strategic intent, processes and human performance. While there is a little doubt about the ever greater role of electronic commerce and the use of ICTs in the global economy, the lack of reliable and internationally comparable data made a number of national statistical offices to start collecting data on e-commerce and, more generally, the use of ICT and the Internet. In the measuring a working definition is used which includes the network over which e-commerce activities are carried out, the specific business processes related to e-commerce and the different actors involved. On the basis of this definition, a set of priority indicators for e-commerce has been established. |
