Information Technology and Electronic Commerce

We need a new economics to understand the new economy of bits. I am skeptical. The old
economics— or at least the old principles—work remarkably well. Many of the effects that drive the
new information economy were there in the old industrial economy—you just have to know where
to look. Effects that were uncommon in the industrial economy—like network effects, switching
costs, and the like—are the norm in the information economy.

Recent literature that aims to understand the economics of information technology is firmly
grounded in the traditional literature. As with technology itself, the innovation comes not in the
basic building blocks, the components of economic analysis, but rather the ways in which they are
combined. The Internet will also revolutionize retail and direct marketing. Consumers will be able
to shop in their homes for a wide variety of products from manufacturers and retailers all over the
world. They will be able to view these products on their computers or televisions, access
information about the products, visualize the way the products may fit together (constructing a room
of furniture on their screen, for example), and order and pay for their choice, all from their living
rooms.

Commerce on the Internet could total tens of billions of dollars by the turn of the century.
For this potential to be realized fully, governments must adopt a non-regulatory, market-oriented
approach to electronic commerce, one that facilitates the emergence of a transparent and predictable
legal environment to support global business and commerce. Official decision makers must respect
the unique nature of the medium and recognize that widespread competition and increased
consumer choice should be the defining features of the new digital marketplace.

Many businesses and consumers are still wary of conducting extensive business over the
Internet because of the lack of a predictable legal environment governing transactions. This is
particularly true for international commercial activity where concerns about enforcement of
contracts, liability, intellectual property protection, privacy, security and other matters have caused
businesses and consumers to be cautious. As use of the Internet expands, many companies and
Internet users are concerned that some governments will impose extensive regulations on the
Internet and electronic commerce.

Potential areas of problematic regulation include taxes and duties, restrictions on the type of
information transmitted, control over standards development, licensing requirements and rate
regulation of service providers. Indeed, signs of these types of commerce-inhibiting actions already
are appearing in many nations. Preempting these harmful actions before they take root is a strong
motivation for the strategy outlined in this paper. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have
received substantial focus on several international and intergovernmental forums, especially in
APEC, in recent years.

The contribution of SMEs to national economic development and employment creation is

unquestioned. In Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, SMEs operate in almost every industry but
few have considered seriously the impact of information technology (IT) and electronic commerce
(e-commerce) on the success of SMEs. The Internet economy is a broader concept than e-commerce
and e-business. It includes e-commerce and e-business. eMarketer projects an increase in the share
of B2B e-commerce in total global e-commerce from 79.2% in 2000 to 87% in 2004 and a
consequent decrease in the share of B2C e-commerce from 20.8% in 2000 to only 13% in 2004
(Figure 3). Table 1 shows the projected size of B2B e-commerce by region for the years 2000-2004.
