Description:
E-commerce (business-to-business:B2B) is widely believed to promise a radical change in the way that companies trade with one another. B2B e-commerce applications are being promoted as tools that will enable companies in developing countries to reduce their costs substantially, thereby easing their access to global markets. The vision of B2B e-commerce is driven by a simple idea. The Internet provides an open global network and access to it is relatively cheap. Internet-based B2B e-commerce should help companies or governments in developing countries obtain better information on global markets and give them direct access to new customers. However, it is uncertain that e-commerce would reduce or extend the gap between rich and poor countries.
