Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper aims to analyze how the E-commerce policy impacts e-commerce and international business, along with e-commerce success. The global digital economy is interdependent, and e-commerce-related policy has a significant role in shaping this influence and direction globally. Telecommunication with smartphones and other technologies is driving this change with an impact on international business, specifically the i-business platforms. Quantitative analysis is employed. The impact is measured by the response of customers of various e-commerce engagements to gain a profound level of indulgence and insights into the subject matter and its associated policy implications. Aspects of e-commerce, trade flows, global value chain, and international business in general are critically evaluated in the review based on what the empirical findings indicate as areas of multi-level impact. E-commerce-related policy analysis is undertaken in this process to make recommendations with the limitations and further scope of the study.
