Exporting and the Internet: a conceptual perspective

Article Abstract:

An examination of the implications of the Internet on exporting showed that the Internet failed in use as a facilitator of export, acting instead to increase the number of intermediaries in the export process. This is in line with the current use of the Internet as a communications channel, which is being exploited by third parties to market the service of providers. A survey for firms using the Internet for export activities showed that only a few export management firms have active Internet sites for export activities.
