The Regional and Rural Guide to E-commerce - by Robert Parker and Franco Papandrea

This guide has been written specifically for rural and regional Australians as an introductory guide to e-commerce via the internet.

The Regional and Rural Guide to E-commerce was commissioned by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation.

The guide aims to assist those rural and regional Australians already familiar with the Internet to learn more about e-commerce, and to provide food for thought as to how they might use e-commerce in their businesses and day to day lives.

The Rural and Regional Guide to E-commerce will:

• introduce e-commerce within the context of the rural and regional environment;
• familiarise rural and regional Australians with their Internet connection options and offer advice on optimising Internet connections for e-commerce;
• address many of the issues e-commerce consumers should consider before buying goods and service online; and
• assist prospective e-commerce merchants in becoming more familiar with a variety of aspects associated with the establishment, maintenance and marketing of an online business.
