The rise of e-commerce has accelerated the pace of economic & trade globalization. It influences significantly not only the economic growth mode, but also the international trade regime and economic structures. In order to speed up the process of transferring e-commerce from concept to practice, an in-depth research-e-Commerce Model is needed to integrate aspects of policy, infrastructure, management, technology to address the theoretical and practical aspects of e-commerce. We believe new e-commerce model will play an very important role for the e-commerce industry to overcome digital gap, to promote the development of trade facilitation and liberalization in APEC Region.
