...language, time and distance, infrastructure, and currency perspective. Additionally challenges related to state, regional and national law too are examined. Challenges implementing multi-stage e-commerce model Implementing global systems for a multi-stage ecommerce model can be a daunting challenge and yet provide a growth opportunity simultaneously. Simplistically, e-commerce refers to some form of electronic activity (e.g. buying or selling goods or services online) , that cross organizational barriers, with or without the involvement of WWW or Internet. Ecommerce systems can be implemented as Business-to-Business (B2B), Business-to-Consumer (B2C) , Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) and Business-to-Government (B2G) models (IBMR, 2008). Regardless of the model, if their associated challenges are well-identified and proactively addressed, then a new world of opportunity due to market expansion and growth potential, awaits the companies, undertaking the risk to implement these e-commerce models. In my opinion, these challenges can be successfully addressed by adopting a four step approach, as below: 1. Identify and analyze the applicable challenge. 2. Devise suitable mitigation strategies or counter-measures to address them. 3. Incorporate an ongoing method of work (MOW) to regularly and...

...E-commerce entails the use of the Internet in the marketing, identification, payment and delivery of goods and services. This paper highlights the status, statutes, potential and constraints to e-commerce development in Bangladesh. Both the statutory laws as well as the challenges in implementing them are discussed. Major legal, regulatory and institutional constraints to e-commerce are identified. The paper also lists specific policy changes aimed at bringing improvements to the legal and regulatory environment affecting e-commerce. Dimensions of E-Commerce The three dimensions of e-commerce are Business-to-Consumers (B2C), Business-to Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G). B2C e-commerce is unlikely to be of much use in the near future in Bangladesh because of low per capita income, a weak infrastructural and legal environment, lack of trust between business and consumers. B2C for cross border trade is also limited by the factors suggested for the domestic front. In addition, non-availability of international credit cards, foreign currency remittance restrictions, delays and informal payments at customs clearance even for small value and quantity items will discourage B2C. The B2B application already exists in the export sector of Bangladesh, especially in the Ready Made Garments (RMG) industry. RMG has the lion’s share of the export earnings in Bangladesh. The RMG sector has begun to use the Internet, and its dependence on ecommerce is likely to grow...

...can use a Basic Commerce service provider as oppose to a large company. If the company is just starting the business they may not want to invest a lot into Electronic Commerce software. Free or low cost sites can benefit them if they are not going to sale a lot of items. Since software is already built into the free sites they have the benefit of immediately building their store front. With large business they are not able to use the free sites because of the traffic and volume of sales. They would have too many customers to use free or low cost software. There are all types of software that large companies can use one being Enterprise Class Electronic Commerce software. It provides tools necessary for B2B and B2C commerce. Along with web server systems and the necessary firewalls needed for security. Open Market, Customer Relationship Management, Supply Chain Management, Content Management and Knowledge Management software are choices that large and mid-size companies can choose. Unlike smaller companies who may not have the revenue to invest in these software. Because they may not have the customers needed that would require them to invest. In my opinion I would think that the large companies would have to worry about which software to choose when speaking of B2B and B2C commerce. Because they generate more business than a smaller company they would have to make sure they have the software needed to support B2B and B2C. With...
