摘要
Globalisation has recently become one of the terms most frequently used in politics, sociology, culture, and especially in economy. The technological basis of the modern globalisation includes the latest accomplishments of the third technological revolution: telecommunication systems, the scientific revolution, new forms of transport, the Internet and E-Commerce, because all of these technical-technological factors have facilitated unhindered communication of knowledge, people, information and capital among the countries worldwide. The question to be asked is how can a country measure its involvement in globalisation. One way is by using E-Commerce drivers and barriers. There are many issues that could count as drivers and barriers to E-Commerce and Globalisation such as cost, payment systems and legislation. By examining the E-Commerce drivers and barriers of a country which will depend upon the level of technological involvement with E-Commerce and its effect on a particular economy could result in Globalisation readiness in the country. For digital classification the level of engagement could be measured by the level of Internet involvement in the economy could measure the level of engagement. This measurement could be used to indicate the extent of globalisation in a country's economy. Globalisation is a result of removing barriers and restrictions to international trade and adopting free economic policy, which are the same drivers for E-Commerce.
