U.S., CANADA, BRITAIN BEST PLACES FOR E-COMMERCE

Posted on November 22, 2002

      Crediting state-of-the-art communications infrastructures and strong political leadership, the U.S., Britain, and Canada have created the best environments for e-commerce to flourish among the top industrial nations, a study by Booz Allen Hamilton said this week.

      "A supportive environment is the single most critical factor for a successful E-economy," says Barrie Berg, a vice-president at the management-consulting firm, which conducted the study. "It's the foundation for all other aspects of the E-economy. This includes a country's regulatory system, political leadership, and communications infrastructure."

      Among other key findings: Residents of Canada, Sweden, and the U.S. are more likely to be involved in E-commerce; business e-maturity, the adoption and use of online technologies to change the way businesses work, is most developed in the U.S. and Sweden; Sweden, the U.S., Canada, and Australia have the strongest e-government development, driven by their early initiatives and a sustained commitment.
