Abstract

This paper presents an inter-country comparative analysis of key inhibitors and enablers affecting the diffusion of e-commerce across transition economies of Central Asia. It reveals that the combined effect of dissimilar economic, political, and technical impediments is a major underlying motive for differing e-commerce adoption patterns across these transition countries. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the issues affecting e-commerce diffusion and their implications for successful e-commerce implementation in countries undergoing the difficult process of transition to a market economy.
