This case is talking about some issues in regards to e-commerce and language in an international business. The four questions of the case will help to deal with these issues. The first question is in which ways culture, religion and language may influence foreign marketing operations in the organic meat business. Meat does not mean the same thing whether you live in a developed country, like U.S, or in a developing one, like India. For example, for most people in the U.S., meat can be a daily meal. They care more about the balance of nutrition. They may be willing to pay more for an organic meat to be living healthier. However, for some people in India, it is still not easy to have meat on their dinner tables every day. To them, meat is just an essential component of survival, nothing more. In their case, there is no possibility that they will pay more money to look for organic meat. Another factor which will affect the meat market is religion. Muslims are not allowed to eat pigs, cows are treated with sincere...

...multi-stage e-commerce model Rajesh Salunkhe May 13th, 2013 Kaplan University (Prof. Sheila Fournier-Bonilla) Abstract This paper is written to review some of the challenges associated with all global systems attempting to implement a multi-stage e-commerce model. The paper endeavors to examine these challenges from a cultural, 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...

...Executive Summary The Internet has opened up a new horizon for trade and commerce, namely electronic commerce (e-commerce). 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...

...interstate commerce. In most cases, most U.S. states are looking for any means to raise revenues to fund their operations; as such, taxes on internet sales is not excepted as a source of income for the government. Nevertheless, in the past few years, the U.S. Supreme court has dealt with several cases challenging the legality and the constitutionality of attempts by several U.S. states to demand taxes on goods purchased online and shipped to residence from various states. For instance, in Bellas Hess v. Illinois and Quill Corp. v. North Dakota where the court withheld that the state could not demand an online sales firm to collect sales tax on its behalf if the latter does not have any physical representation in the former (FindLaw, 2013 & CBO, 2013). On 16 April 2013, S. 743, Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 was introduced in the senate and passed on to 7 May 2013. Apparently, Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 was meant to restore U.S. states’ integrity to demand online sales firms to remit sales taxes on more than $1million of revenues made by selling goods to people residing in their territories (www.gpo.gov). Even though some of these laws (both common and legislative) are meant to reduce hurdles on states’ attempts to impose taxes on internet sales that occur within their territories, there are still other legal and practical challenges that will keep on cropping up, hence necessitating legal and regulatory mechanisms to address issues related to the taxation of internet sales...

...nations faces various obstacles in adoption of new business ranging from infrastructural issues of technological advancement, network problem, lack of skilled resources, etc; investment issues in inter-organization communication, network establishment, etc; security and privacy issues of customer information in transaction; government regulations for legal protection of consumer rights; logistics issues of distribution; lack of physical and social interaction in virtual environment for purchase; and returning policy of traders (OECD, 2004). Although infrastructure and deregulation governs the success of commerce, transactional trust is mandatory for encouraging the participants to pursue the shopping from foreign firms (Oxley & Yeung, 2001). Socio-cultural characteristics of these countries also raises concern of institutional trust in the new business as substitute for social milieu lacking in personal touch or localization of product (Efendioglu, Yip, & Murray, 2004). Temporal and spatial separation requires radical shift in consumer pattern to create trust between parties involved in transaction occurring in trading based on agreed contract. Delivery of products to the increasing number of customers in new system brings challenges for seller to keep the promises of order fulfillment in committed time. Logistics capability determines the delivery and distributed channel of firm to ensure speed and timeliness of delivery in business operations (Alemayehu, & Heeks, 2007). Developing...

...Literature review “The Internet has changed how information is communicated and processed. People use the Internet for different purposes, including communicating with friends, researching and monitoring online stock prices, trading stock, paying bills, banking, and shopping. Growing numbers of consumers purchase goods and services, gather product information, or just to browse online”(Demangeot & Broderick, 2007). People today are indeed bombarded with technology. Most people cannot get through the day without their laptops or smart phones, especially for today’s youth. Since today's college students were raised in a technological age. “It is no surprise that internet usage among college respondents has seen a marked increase in recent years” (Budden et al, 2007). “Most college students surveyed enjoy shopping online” (Arnaudovska et al, 2010). Online shopping gradually appears in people’s lives, especially in college students’ life. “Online shopping is the process whereby consumers buy goods or services directly from a seller in real time over the Internet. Online shopping environments are, therefore, playing an increasing role in the relationship between marketers and their consumers” (Demangeot & Broderick, 2007). Therefore, internet is not only indeed playing an important role today, but also in the future. “In the city of the future, bricks-and-mortar retailers will be just as savvy as their online counterparts. In recent years, the convenience of purchasing...
