Barriers and Constraints

There are three constrain in E-Commerce :

  1. Lack of knowledge and understanding
    The lack of knowledge and understanding about how E-Commerce works and how it will actually bring benefits to the company which results in a lack of trust and confidence in e-commerce as a solution.

  2. Fear of change
    Like the old English cliché "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". This is also what many organization is thinking why implement E-Commerce when the business is doing well. By implementing E-Commerce may add more risk without a clear potential reward.

  3. Lack of capital and/or resources
    Some organization may not have the sufficient budget to implement E-Commerce.
