Today the Internet might be viewed as having a huge market potential capable of covering the population of the whole world. This is why electronic commerce or E-Commerce is so attractive for many traditional businesses. E-Commerce consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks.

A wide variety of commerce is conducted in this way, including things such as electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, e-marketing, online marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange, automated inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems.

[...] We shall trace the growth, trends, and practice of e-commerce in France and discuss differential patterns among the developed countries of the world economy: the United States, Japan, and Western Europe (specifically, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden). These regions were selected based primarily on the fact that they are among the major economic regions with a real potential to significantly influence the direction of global e-commerce.
