E13. Has your company ever used the Internet to purchase or sell any of
its products and/or services internationally?
If no, please elaborate on the reasons. Is the cost of using the internet a major factor? What about
other factors? (i.e. (i) the domestic legal and regulatory environment; (ii) the domestic
telecommunication infrastructure; (iii) banking and financial environment; (iv) skills; (v) problems
related to transportation/shipping)
If yes, please explain how this transaction (or different parts of it) was conducted (ie via email
contact, web-based B2B trading sites, etc) and how your firm identified this trading partner?
