by
Thomas Benesch
Graz University of Technology, Austria

We discuss the present state and future potential of Electronic Commerce in the emerging markets of Asia. Following a description of Internet penetration and Electronic Commerce growth in Western Europe and the United States, we examine a variety of social-cultural, economic, technological and marketing factors, which have impeded the development of Web-based commerce in the region. Based on emerging trends, we conclude on an optimistic note: Electronic Commerce in the region appears to be on the verge of taking-off.
