e-Business Trade Roadmap
Industry Canada (IC)
Last Verified:
2007-05-03
The e-Business Trade Roadmap is geared to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who, as a result of establishing a Web site, are potential exporters of products or services.
The Roadmap is predominantly a series of hyperlinks to public and private sector Web sites which focus on Internet-based international trade transactions. The series of links are grouped under subject headings of "Steps", which are the various stages of a commercial transaction carried out over the Internet.
Summary
The objectives of the Roadmap are to:
- provide an overview of the international trade challenges posed by operating an electronic business in the global marketplace through all stages of an international transaction;
- provide case studies of how Canadian SMEs have met some of the particular international challenges of e-business;
- identify the steps to protect a SME from international e-business pitfalls; and
- help SMEs generate more leads and close deals on or off line.
The 7 "Steps" are:
- Step 1 - Readiness Assessment
- Step 2 - Generate e-Trade Leads
- Step 3 - Qualify e-Trade Leads
- Step 4 - Electronic Trade Negotiations
- Step 5 - Online Order Execution
- Step 6 - Implement e-Payment Systems
- Step 7 - Implement Global e-Customer Support
