The Development of Cross Border E-commerce

Abstract

Cross-border e-commerce is one type of international e-commerce similar to cross-border e-tailing. An increasing amount of people are shopping online across the borders, especially in China. By systematic review recent academic papers and research reports, the current situation of its development was identified. Supported by advanced technology, growing demand and advantageous policy, cross-border e-commerce is booming globally. However, culture and consumer behavior, laws and regulations, product and marketing issues, payment conditions and logistics limitations were identified as the main obstacles to its success. Because the products in cross-border e-commerce often require long distance transport, the logistics-related issues showed to be still the strongest concern to be addressed and overcome in order to allow such a movement, wherein, long transportation times, bad return service and high shipping costs are increasingly prominent. Therefore, a need for international cooperation between all involved parties -governments, merchants and service providers, is called. In the end, a proposed responsibility assignment for its development is presented.

From exports to exercise: How non-energy policies affect energy systems

“…There is also some emerging literature on the energy impacts of e-commerce; however, like the literature on communications, these tend to view e-commerce as driven by technology rather than policy (e.g. Ding et al, 2017;Palsson et al, 2017). Finally, we also found a body of analysis which seeks to quantify national consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions, in an attempt to account for the emissions embodied in traded goods; work exploring this in the UK context includes Baker (2018), Barrett et al (2013Barrett et al ( , 2011, DEFRA (2016), Scott et al (2013) and Wiedmann et al (2008).…”

Blockchain-Based Traceability for Anti-Counterfeit in Cross-Border E-Commerce Transactions

“…This phenomenon is mainly due to giant platforms such as Amazon, Alibaba, JD.com, and Pinduoduo [15]. As online shopping has become one of the most popular retail activities in the COVID-19 era, the business frontiers of e-commerce have naturally grown beyond domestic borders [16][17][18]. Today, cross-border e-commerce is everywhere.…”

Capacidades Dinámicas de Gestión de los gerentes de las pymes en la adopción del comercio electrónico nacional y transfronterizo

“…Para fines de este estudio se considera comercio electrónico transfronterizo (CBEC, Cross Border E-commerce) cuando se realizan transacciones en línea en diferentes países mediante el uso de TIC (Ding et al, 2017). Gran parte de la literatura sobre el comercio electrónico transfronterizo tiene un enfoque macro, y le ha dado peso a las barreras que enfrenta este tipo de comercio para acelerar su expansión y para que las pymes, en especial las de los países en desarrollo, puedan exportar mediante esta estrategia (OMC, 2016(OMC, , 2018Tavengerwei, 2018).…”

“…Otros temas ampliamente discutidos son la adopción de marketplaces internacionales como facilitador para la internacionalización de las PYMES (International Trade Centre, 2016;Li et al, 2018;OMC, 2016;Romagnoli y Garbelli, 2017), el desarrollo de sitios web propios (Akman y Dagdeviren, 2018;International Trade Centre, 2016) y en el desarrollo de capacidades para comercio electrónico transfronterizo (Belitski y Liversage, 2019;Li et al, 2018). Ding et al (2017) identificaron seis barreras para el comercio electrónico transfronterizo: la logística; diferencias culturales (por ejemplo, el idioma) y preferencias de los consumidores (medios de pago y de entrega); marketing (desconfianza de los vendedores); productos (desconfianza del cumplimiento de la oferta); leyes y regulaciones (principalmente en cuanto a derechos de privacidad y reclamaciones, además de las regulaciones aduanales) y pagos internacionales. Ante estas barreras, los autores señalan que los grandes marketplaces internacionales resuelven parte de estas complicaciones.…”
