DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe continued advancement of globalization, increases in internet connectivity, compatibility of international payment systems, and adaptability of logistics and shipping processes have combined to contribute to the rapid growth of the cross-border e-commerce market. Due to these advancements and the ubiquitous presence of smartphones, consumer use of cross-border e-commerce is increasingly simplified, and thus, sellers are hardly restricted to a specific country in terms of promoting, selling, and shipping goods worldwide. The burgeoning opportunities, habits, and trends of shopping on cross-border e-commerce platforms have expedited the prospect of becoming a presence in the global market. This is true for enterprises of all sizes, especially for small? and medium?sized enterprises (SMEs) that want to add their footprint in the international market for the first time. Like any other industry, cross-border e-commerce has its specific economics and driving forces, but has different scopes, challenges, and trends due to the geographic and cultural expanse of relevant environments. Cross-Border E-Commerce Marketing and Management was conceptualized by identifying the scope of new complementary information with a comprehensive understanding of the issues and potential of cross-border e-commerce businesses. The authors believe that this book will not only fill the void in the current research but will also provide far-sighted vision and strategies, as it covers big data, artificial intelligence, IoT, supply chain management, and more. This book provides the necessary knowledge to managers to compete with the competitive market structure and ultimately contribute to the sustainable economic growth of a country. It works as a guideline for existing cross-border e-commerce managers to formulate individual strategies that combine to optimize the industry while keeping the enterprise competitive. This book is useful in both developed and developing country contexts. This publication is an ideal resource for academicians, policy makers, stakeholders, and cross-border e-commerce managers, especially from SMEs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The rise of e-commerce has transformed China's economy over the past two decades. By late 2020, close to 800 million Chinese people had shopped online and more than 60 million citizens were directly or indirectly employed in e-commerce-related industries. Yet the rapid rise of the industry seems to defy conventional wisdom. For instance, China's e-commerce market took off without strong formal institutions to support it, challenging the prevailing notion in political economy that certain formal institutions like state-provided secure property rights, contract enforcement, and the rule of law are crucial pre-conditions for supporting efficient markets. Using a vast array of qualitative and quantitative data, Lizhi Liu reveals how, with weak rule of law, China instead outsourced part of its institutional functions to e-commerce companies themselves-prominent examples include Alibaba's Taobao.com and Tmall.com. Liu calls these companies "private regulatory intermediaries" (PRIs) and shows how they fulfill various legal, social, and political functions that the state might otherwise take on. Taobao, for example, has a complex reputation mechanism, a credit score, a fraud detection program, and even a jury-like system in which users can adjudicate cases or vote to change platform rules. Liu also explores how, beyond the systematic level, e-commerce has significant individual-level effects-namely, that e-commerce reduces the household cost of living but also distracts citizens from local political issues. Ultimately, this project goes beyond traditional analysis emphasizing either the rule of law or informal networks in supporting market development; it provides a lens to understand institutional experimentation broadly and deepens our understanding of state-business relationships in the Chinese context"--
