The world of business is being profoundly transformed by the Internet and the electronic commerce. The rapid advancement of the Internet technology and its applications such as Internet systems seems to expand the scope of business opportunities offered by global digital economy. Internet systems support a worldwide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for electronic commerce between organizations and customers across countries.
