These are practical guides to using e-commerce in micro- and small enterprises in developing countries.
They provide background definitions and explanations; case studies; a "ladder" of progress in e-commerce; an analysis questionnaire for e-commerce selection; help with strategic planning; and a set of best practice guides on various aspects of e-commerce.
One guide is aimed at entrepreneurs; the other is aimed at enterprise support agencies (organisations that help micro/small enterprises start up and survive/grow).
