This report by Kenneth L. Kraemer, Jason Dedrick and Debora Dunkle of the Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations at the University of California, Irvine -published in August, 2002 - is the second in a series of reports from its recently completed Global E-Commerce Survey. The report compares US experience with that in other nations in the study: Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan. Some of the finding supported in the paper are that: U.S. companies are not as global as the global sample of firms; "The U.S. is not far ahead in using e-commerce technologies"; "Business drivers for Internet use are similar for U.S. and global sample firms, but global sample firms are more affected by government drivers"; "U.S. firms perceive fewer difficulties and barriers to doing business on the Internet"; "Total e-commerce sales are small, but slightly higher for U.S. firms"; and "U.S. firms report somewhat greater impacts from doing business on-line in terms of selling and customer support, while global sample firms enjoy greater impacts on costs and efficiency."
