E-Commerce in the Developing World

1. What are the drivers to the adoption of sell-side e- commerce by businesses in developing countries?
The Adoption of Sell-side E-commerce in Developing countries will be a great development. The drivers of sell side e-commerce will be the cost and how much customer will be able to save with the opportunity to research the best price. There will also be more options available to the customer which will also drive the market and create more demand. I believe that continued growth will continue its will just take a while to get the ball rolling. Savings from both the businesses and customers side as well. Customers will be able to save because they will have the opportunity to search different options and different companies. Companies or people selling products on-line will also save on costs like less people working for them. No need for store fronts which is a great for developing countries because some people are in remote areas so they can access the same products online. Content will also be a driver because it will allow for more information on products and services to customers so they will know or have a better idea of what they need and what product or services is appropriate for their needs.
Customization- different emails that can be sent out to certain customers based on past purchases. For example if there are new products that are available emails could be directly sent out to customers so they will have more knowledge and improve their business or lives.
Community- Will allow for developing country to stay connected and allow for more connect with friends and family. It will also allow for groups of people to discuss their products and services and allow for customers to discuss them.

Evolution of E-Commerce

Evolution of the Internet in our lives. Internet is apart of our lives now but like in this video I believe we will have internet in every part of our lives. Internet will be used so often that not using the Internet will make life extremely difficult. The internet and e-commerce specifically will defiantly allow for complete control of how you shop and how you conduct your business.
This video is a little old but makes great points.

What is E-Commerce?

This is a great site that explains E-Commerce simply! This is the link to the United States export page. It is really helpful in that it explains and gives examples of E-Commerce Businesses. This site also gives details about the different steps needed in order to become successful and what is needed in order to run an E-Commerce business or expand into E-commerce.
There is a Step by Step guide to going on-line.
I think this a great site that is very informative and easy to understand.
