The current environment of e-trade imparts an equal chance of economic activities to everyone, such as large enterprises, small and medium enterprises and individuals. Small and medium enterprises among these economic objects also have a great expectation of making profits by informatization and e-trade.
However, e-trade has not been fulfilled thoroughly due to both obstacles of the internal environment (small scale of company, limits of man power and investment, and the insufficiency of CEO's positiveness) and barriers of external circumstance (inadequacy of enacting related law by stages, nonexistence of generalized system to approach easily, financial resources for the perfect system, and excessive expenditures by applying).
The above examples of obstacles must be overcame to utilize e-trade.
In the former study, the casual relationship between internal environment, external circumstance, and risks from damages and utilizing level of e-trade was investigated. The study deduces that most factors of internal environment and risks from damages affect the applying level of e-trade, but most factors of external circumstance doesn't exercise any effect at all.
Thus, in the former study, the relation of external circumstance could be ignored because the obstacles from the external environment was not significant and they didn't affect to utilize e-trade at all.
But realities are different. In spite of CEO's positiveness to increase the utilizing level of e-trade, the enterprise by itself cannot using e-trade without any external circumstance. On the other hand, despite of perfect external circumstance to supporting enterprises, the utilizing level of e-trade will not increase without any enterprise's willingness.
Such debate arise from the former study because the study analyzes only casual relationship between the utilizing level of e-trade and internal environment which the enterprise can control and the external circumstance which the enterprise cannot manage, considering those internal and external environment as the same territories.
This kind of the result that didn't include any study about mutual relation at the former research model involve considerable problems of its analysis.
Therefore, the external circumstance of enterprises is one of the critical factors and it should not be ignored to utilize e-trade even though the most factors of external environment was not related with e-trade utilization and the hypothesis was rejected.
It is more reasonable that the utilizing level of e-trade will be increase by reciprocal actions between internal environment and external circumstance of enterprises.
Thus, in this paper, the positive analysis is being made to revitalize e-trade by defining barriers of internal environment and external circumstance and mutual relationship between environments and the utilizing level of e-trade and by insisting on change of uncontrollable external circumstance which is defined from the casual relationship.
The positive analysis forms the conclusion of this study as follows;
First, the utilizing level of e-trade is determined by the reciprocal action with internal environment not by the direct effect from external circumstance.
Second, CEO's positiveness is an important factor for e-trade revitalization because it strongly affect to the utilizing level of e-trade.
Third, the active promotion and education for officers and faculties are important. At utilizing e-trade, the lacking of staff's understanding is a seriously negative factor so it must be removed.
Forth, the enterprise prefer avoiding utilizing e-trade to overcoming the factor of risks when it is recognizing the risks of the fulfillment of e-trade.
Therefore, to stimulate enterprises to utilize e-trade, government should supply good condition of external circumstance. Based on this, the enterprises ought to educate facilities, invest relative facilities and coming to a mutual understanding between relative companies.
This kind of analysis could contribute to revitalize e-trade by investigating negative factors against e-trade and their mutual activities at the various aspects and would be used more in the latter studies. Hence, this study will be valuable in terms of both analysis results and its model.
But in spite of these valuabilities, this study might have limits such as regional limit to collecting questionnaire, analytic limits of business type, suitability for contents of questionnaire item, and so on.
