Abstract: | The rapid growth of the Internet over the past 5 years has greatly increased interest in its potential use of the Internet for electronic commerce (EC), particularly as a vehicle for transactions between customers and suppliers. Today, Internet-based EC applications are in their infancy and investments in innovative information technology applications are risky and expensive. The managerial decision, to adopt these EC applications early or wait for the technology to become more established, is not trivial. |
