项目摘要

The rapid growth of e-commerce on the Internet has raised a question of whether the Internet will mainly facilitate market consolidation by large companies, or whether it will be a driver of growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well. This is significant because e-commerce could lead to increased competition, greater consumer choice and more innovation, or it could lead to reduced competition, consumer choice and innovation, depending on the impacts of e-commerce on firm and industry organization. The early evidence on the question is mixed and largely anecdotal. Therefore, the objective of this research to provide scientific evidence on the question. It uses theory on firm and industry organization as the conceptual basis for hypothesizing that e-commerce will lead to greater use of market transactions, as opposed to internal hierarchies, to organize economic activities, leading to increased competition and new business opportunities. This project examines the hypothesis through systematic, detailed case studies of the extended value chains of four firms in the PC industry. The computer industry is chosen because it is the leading user of e-commerce and it includes manufacturing, service, and information sectors, thus providing a microcosm of the national economy. The results will not only contribute new knowledge, but also provide a scientific basis for public discussion about the social and economic impacts of e-commerce, and lead to a more extended empirical study.

互联网上电子商务的快速增长提出了一个问题，即互联网是否主要是促进大公司的市场整合，还是它也将成为中小企业增长的动力。这是重要的，因为电子商务可能导致增加竞争，更多的消费者选择和更多的创新，或者它可能导致减少竞争，消费者选择和创新，这取决于电子商务对企业和行业组织的影响。关于这个问题的早期证据是混杂的，而且大多是道听途说。因此，本研究的目的是为这个问题提供科学依据。它使用企业和行业组织理论作为假设的概念基础，即电子商务将导致更多地使用市场交易，而不是内部等级制度，组织经济活动，导致竞争加剧和新的商业机会。本项目通过对PC行业中四家公司扩展价值链的系统、详细的案例研究来检验这一假设。选择计算机行业是因为它是电子商务的主要用户，它包括制造业、服务业和信息部门，从而提供了国民经济的一个缩影。研究结果不仅为电子商务的社会和经济影响提供了新的知识，而且为公众讨论电子商务的社会和经济影响提供了科学依据，并导致更广泛的实证研究。
