Abstract:
Electronic commerce is rapidly growing as an impressive manifestation of
globalization. The rapid expansion of e-commerce is a major opportunity for local
and international trade development of LDCs including Bangladesh. However,
infrastructure, culture, and attitude are significant barriers to e-commerce.
Bangladesh government has gone forward except minor lacking to create an e-
commerce friendly environment. One thing to be noted is that success in e-
commerce does not depend on access and connectivity alone. Information
Technology also depends on the fortitude of the entrepreneur of taking advantage of
the e-commerce revolution. Proper awareness building programs among the people
and business community are required to establish, maintain and growth of e-
commerce. This study concentrates on assessing the elements of the environment
relating to e-commerce to get the best picture of the prevailing condition and then
recommending some areas of improvement on the basis of the assessment for
deploying e-commerce in Bangladesh.
