Influencing Factors of Cross-Border E-Commerce Consumer Purchase Intention Based on Wireless Network and Machine Learning

In recent years, with the continuous development of Internet technology and the deepening of economic globalization, cross-border e-commerce has become a new international trade model and an important growth point of foreign trade. With the popularity of international trade, domestic consumers have a deeper understanding of foreign products and brands and willingness to purchase, but at this stage, cross-border e-commerce transactions are not as close to domestic online shopping, and a few have business opportunities. PortUnity is the first among overseas consumers and some avant-garde consumers with a sense of consumption. Most people have not yet reached real cross-border e-commerce, so cross-border e-commerce has broad development potential on a global scale. As a high-tech field, cross-border e-commerce has few relevant theories and literature. Therefore, this article aims to explore the influencing factors of consumer purchase intention of cross-border e-commerce based on a wireless network and machine learning and to provide decision support for the management and operation of e-commerce in order to promote the better development of cross-border e-commerce. This article analyzes the influencing factors of consumers' intention in cross-border e-commerce shopping by combining literature research and empirical research. With the support of wireless networks and machine learning, perceptual-based ease of use and perceived usefulness of the original TAM, the individual influencing factors of cross-border e-commerce consumers' purchase intention and e-commerce platform factors are summarized according to the characteristics and technology acceptance model of cross-border e-commerce. In this questionnaire survey, the author fully explored the survey value of each respondent, and all the 100 questionnaires were successfully recovered, with a 100% utilization rate of data. The research results of this article show that in addition to the originally perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, consumers' income level, education level, age, gender, service, safety index and price of cross-border e-commerce platform, and other factors also affect the cross-border consumption frequency of consumers.

COMPARISON OF LEGAL CONSUMER PROTECTION SYSTEMS IN E-COMMERCE TRANSACTIONS TO SUPPORT DIGITAL ECONOMIC GROWTH IN INDONESIA

The e-commerce industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly amidst the slowdown in the country's economy. Moreover, most of the e-commerce business players in Indonesia are small, micro, and medium scale (SME). Consumers in e-commerce transactions have a greater risk of loss than business actors or merchants. In other words, consumer rights in e-commerce transactions are very vulnerable, so that consumers in e-commerce transactions are in a very weak bargaining position. The importance of a country regulating legal protection for consumers is generally based on considerations of its actuality and urgency. Legal regulations for e-commerce transactions are designed to create the level of certainty needed in business transactions and to protect consumers in e-commerce transactions in order to support the growth of the digital economy in Indonesia. Current legal protection regulations for consumers in Indonesia have not been able to protect consumers in cross-border e-commerce transactions. In e-commerce transactions, there are no national borders. The consumer protection laws of each country, such as those of Indonesia, are not sufficiently helpful because e-commerce operates across borders. This type of research is normative legal research that uses statutory regulations.

Risk Data Analysis of Cross Border E-commerce Transactions Based on Data Mining

At present, China’s foreign trade volume of cross-border e-commerce is still relatively small, the targeted legal system has not been established, and the industry access threshold is relatively low. The development of cross-border e-commerce faces many risks. Relying on data mining technology, data docking and risk control. At the data level, the risk of cross-border e-commerce transaction is processed and analyzed, and the potential risk is predicted, and more targeted risk control methods are proposed to reduce the risk of cross-border e-commerce transaction business. Aiming at this problem, this paper establishes the risk data analysis of cross-border e-commerce transactions based on data mining. In order to further verify the data accuracy of data mining technology, this paper analyzes the test values of neural network algorithm, seizure rate and inspection rate. When the misclassification loss parameter value is increased from 1 to 4, the detection rate of the model increases and the detection rate decreases. When the misclassification loss value is higher than 4, the detection rate increases, but the seizure rate decreases significantly. Therefore, the target inspection rate of the model can be changed by adjusting the misclassification loss parameter value of the model. If we set the parameter value of misclassification loss reasonably, we can achieve the goal of preventing and controlling the maximum risk with the lowest data mining cost. Through the analysis, the research in this paper has achieved ideal results, and made a contribution to data mining in cross-border e-commerce transaction risk data analysis.

Study on Security Countermeasures of Cross-border E-Commerce Payment Risk

China has now fully entered the era of Internet +, cross-border e-commerce has achieved stable development. If we want to promote the sustainable development of cross-border e-commerce, we must constantly improve and optimize the existing payment mode of cross-border e-commerce. This paper analyzes this, analyzes the payment risk of cross-border e-commerce, and puts forward targeted security countermeasures to lay a good foundation for the stable development of cross-border e-commerce.The national economic growth rate has a clear downward trend, many businesses in the operation and development process, gradually looking for new channels to achieve business development and development. Cross-border e-commerce is in this context put forward a new business channel, its overall development speed is relatively fast. According to relevant statistics and survey results, China’s entire cross-border e-commerce transactions reached 6.7 trillion yuan in 2016, an increase of 22.2 percent over the same period last year. At the same time, imports of e-commerce transactions also reached 1.2 trillion yuan, a year-on-year growth rate of 33.3%. It can be seen from this that the overall development situation of cross-border e-commerce is generally good in the process of modern society development. But to achieve stable and sustainable development, we must ensure that there are corresponding supporting services to support, the most important point is cross-border payment. Only by ensuring the perfection and optimization of cross-border payment mode can we promote the stable and sustainable development of cross-border e-commerce.

Improving B2B2C Strategies through Digital Technologies for Cross-Border Commerce between Thailand and China

Today's world is moving toward a New Normal Life style, particularly in regard to e-commerce methods and updated platforms. Cross-border e-commerce transactions between China and Thailand have grown rapidly due to China's “Belt & Road” policy, Free Trade Zones and the background of current Thai Industry policies (5.0). Culture, changing consumer habits, language differences and cumbersome cross-border trade procedures between the two countries are the main elements hindering development of the regional economy. This new business environment requires new strategies. To solve the problem of Business to Business to Consumers (B2B2C), this article comprehensively analyzes the advantages and geopolitical benefits of China’s Guangxi and Sichuan Free Trade Pilot Zones under the ASEAN framework. Based on the WeChat platform, the computer programming language, location-based services technology, management information system, ThinkPHP (Backstage) and Tencent Cloud Pagoda Panel are comprehensively applied to WeChat developer tools, then combined with the characteristics of Thai products to create rich content and scan the WeChat applet. The applet will serve Thai merchants by helping them overcome language barrieres, cross-border transfers, and post-sales services. Through the B2B2C business model, the current direct mail business model based on data packets can only sell a defined quantity of products. At the same time, it will better serve consumers by encouraging them to buy high-quality and inexpensive Thai products.

Smart E-commerce logistics construction model based on big data analytics

With the continuous implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative of China, cross-border e-commerce is gradually becoming one of the main ways of trade. The smart operation of cross-border logistics has become an important factor affecting the quality of cross-border e-commerce transactions by its characteristics of high-efficiency, high-quality, and low-cost. As China’s first smart city in China with the theme of the aviation economy, the top priority for developing cross-border e-commerce in the Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone is to construct cross-border e-commerce smart logistics. This paper expounds on the significance of applying big data technology on the construction of the intelligent logistics, analyzing its important roles not only in further promoting the cross-border e-commerce development in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone but also during the process of the entire national economic transformation and escalation. The smart logistics constructing strategy in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone is expected to provide ideas and support for the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone making continuous improvement in leading and pushing the Henan regional economy to achieve sustainable development in the future.

The Impact and Countermeasures of New Tax Policy for Cross-Border E-Commerce in China

The implementation of the Announcement on Issues concerning the Regulation of Retail Import and Export Commodities through Cross-Border E-commerce marked the end of a tax-free era of cross-border e-commerce in China. The new policies (known in this paper as the New Deal) have had a profound effect on enterprises, consumers and overseas purchasing agents engaged in cross-border e-commerce transactions. Empirical data from eight cross-border e-commerce pilot cities (Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, Ningbo, Hangzhou and Dongguan) were studied. Results from the research into these pilot cities show that: (1) the development of crossborder e-commerce among those cities is unbalanced; (2) the New Deal has not resulted in a significant impact on import and export behaviours; and (3) the tax burden of crossborder e-commerce enterprises has increased considerably since the implementation of the New Deal. Based on these results, for the purpose of promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce, the following recommendations are made: (1) improve the policies and regulations to create an environment that supports e-commerce development; (2) facilitate the port cooperation mechanism and promote the construction of a customs single window; (3) strengthen top-level design and improve the coordination and management between relevant authorities; and (4) encourage enterprises to follow market trends and focus on product innovation and market expansion.

Consumer Arbitrage in Cross-Border E-Commerce

In today's internet markets consumers can search for, find and compare prices worldwide. Online, information circulates faster than offline and arbitrage opportunities such as the ones arising from currency shocks are easily unveiled. In this paper, we estimate for the first time exchange rate elasticities for cross-border e-commerce transactions. Exploiting a new high-frequency database on international transactions of parcels, we find that a 1 % appreciation of the domestic currency increases e-commerce imports by 0.7 %. Comparing the result with traditional estimates in offline markets, this implies a 50 % exchange rate pass-through online.

The Promise and Potential of Online Dispute Resolution in Japan

Information technology has dramatically changed the way consumers and businesses transact around the world. Many consumer goods (such as videos, music and software) are purchased online through the Internet instead of through physical stores. Businesses have similarly migrated many of their commercial transactions online, including proposals, due diligence, negotiation and signing. However, most dispute resolution processes have not yet made a similar move; they occur face-to-face, even when the dispute arose online. This has led to a new type of dispute resolution, called ODR (or Online Dispute Resolution). ODR is the use of technology to resolve disputes, and it is being promoted in many countries around the world as a model for civil justice in an online age. North America and the European Union (EU) have aggressively promoted ODR, and there are many ODR projects currently underway. As one of the leading online economies in the world, Japan is facing many of the same challenges as the rest of the world in providing fast and fair resolutions to online consumers. But to date, ODR has not gotten much traction in Japan. Recently, the Japanese Consumer Network published a report about ODR for cross-border e-commerce transactions and encouraged the government to establish a working group for implementation of ODR. However, discussion by multiple stakeholders towards practical implementation of ODR has not yet started in earnest. This article aims to focus the discussion about how to implement ODR in Japan, providing information about the latest developments in global ODR frameworks and envisioning the challenges ODR faces in the Japanese market.

Revelation of cross-border logistics performance for the manufacturing industry development

The rapid development of cross-border e-commerce is transforming and upgrading Chinese manufacturing industry. This paper uses the theory of two markets to build an integrated e-commerce logistics performance evaluation model. Data collected by the Ministry of Commerce's Cross-border e-commerce transactions specifications survey are used to analyze relevant factors in the manufacturing, circulation, service, and other industries. By comparing the above the logistics performance factors, this paper shows that cross-border payment is a bottleneck in developing cross-border e-commerce in the manufacturing industry, and the coordination between countries' legal systems affects the implementation of electronic customs clearance procedures. The problems in cross-border payment and regulatory coordination need to be solved before cross-border e-commerce can further develop in Chinese manufacturing industry. The research has more value on cross-border m-commerce, for its suggestions on cross-border e-commerce laws and technology applications will make great contribution to the application and future development of cross-border m-commerce.

Designing e-commerce cross-border distribution networks for small and medium-size enterprises incorporating Canadian and U.S. trade incentive programs

E-commerce sales are growing more rapidly than non-e-commerce sales. This creates a great opportunity for small and medium sized companies to find and develop new customers in markets outside their domestic ones. However, there are substantial barriers to doing business across international borders — including differences in customs and duty regimes and tax laws. Some federal governments are trying to alleviate the impact of such barriers by providing government programs such as duty free zones for the import and export of products. However, there remain critical barriers that government programs cannot overcome — for example, exchange rate fluctuations. This paper explores the potential for e-commerce transactions across the borders of one of the most vibrant bilateral commercial markets in the world — the one between Canada and the United States of America. The federal governments of both countries have programs in place designed to facilitate cross-border business. This paper examines those programs to explore the question of whether or not participation in such programs can actually assist small and medium sized firms in overcoming the barriers to cross-border e-commerce transactions. Implications for company decision makers and government policy makers in Canada and the US, with application to other cross-border regions, are discussed.

跨境电商小额贸易在国际贸易实务传统教学中的融合

跨境电子商务已成为中国电子商务市场交易的新增长点，2013年和2014年，跨境电商交易额增速远高于外贸增速，2014年交易额突破4万亿大关。跨境电子商务市场在快速增长的同时对物流、支付、结算等环节提出更高的要求。本文探讨了在跨境电商与传统国际贸易实务当中的联系与区别，在教学中将其融合进去，与时俱进。 Cross-border electric commerce has become a new growth point of Chinese e-commerce market. In 2013 and 2014, the growth of cross-border e-commerce transaction volume was much higher than that of foreign trade and transaction, and in 2014 it exceeded four trillions. The rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce market at the same time put forward higher requirements on the logistics, payment, settlement and other aspects. This paper explores the links and differences between cross-border e-commerce and traditional International trade practice, and cross-border electric commerce should be integrated into traditional International trade practice teaching and advance with the times.

Regulating E-commerce through International Policy: Understanding the International Trade Law Issues of E-commerce

The Internet has facilitated a new wave of economic growth and development. Businesses across the world - both big and small - have taken advantage of the scale, scope, and access that the Internet provides to reach new markets and consumers. A small business in rural America can now reach an individual consumer in the European Union (EU) without any physical footprint in the EU. This type of transaction was not possible before the advent of electronic commerce (e-commerce). Moreover, this type of transaction requires a revaluation of a trade regime that was created with only the largest multinational corporations able to truly engage in international trade. The US has created trade policy governing cross-border e-commerce transactions largely through recent free trade agreements (FTAs). Since 2000, every FTA the US has signed has contained a chapter on e-commerce. These chapters have included important protections for the digital economy (e.g., no tax on digital goods, transparency in regulation, and free flow of information).Yet, these chapters have often taken a very narrow view of the issues that they have sought to tackle. It is worthwhile, a decade after these provisions were first written, to revisit and update them to better reflect the nature of modern e-commerce. There are a number of additional issues that are imperative to e-commerce that have not been addressed in past trade regulation. E-commerce often results in the cross-border transfer of digital services. These digital services must be protected against trade-distortive and domestic discriminatory preferences. Moreover, nation-states often rely on narrow interpretations of intellectual property law to restrict the cross-border transfer of e-commerce products and services. These non-traditional barriers to trade must be broken down. Internet intermediaries provide essential services that drive e-commerce. Strong limitations on liability must be guaranteed for these intermediaries. Finally, small businesses are only starting to engage in e-commerce. Future trade regulation should facilitate the growth of small businesses engaged in e-commerce. This article begins by describing the rapid growth of the e-commerce economy. It then reviews the history of past US free-trade agreement e-commerce provisions and suggests how to improve and update these provisions. The document then describes a host of additional e-commerce related issues that should be addressed in trade policy moving forward.

Security middleware for enhancing interoperability of Public Key Infrastructure

This paper describes a security middleware for enhancing the interoperability of public key infrastructure (PKI). Security is a key concern in e-commerce and is especially critical in cross-enterprise transactions. Public key cryptography is widely accepted as an important mechanism for addressing the security needs of e-commerce transactions because of its ability to implement non-repudiation. The deployment of public key cryptography is facilitated by the provision of PKI which assures the integrity of cryptographic keys. Nevertheless, industry experiences have shown that the task of implementing PKI-based e-commerce applications is challenging. Prior studies have identified interoperability as a major issue that hinders the adoption of PKI in spite of its effectiveness in implementing strong security mechanisms and protocols. In this paper, we discuss the interoperability issue of PKI applications. This research is part of our effort in designing security infrastructure for e-commerce systems. A middleware architecture was designed to enhance interoperability of PKI applications. The security middleware aims to promote cross-enterprise cross-border e-commerce transactions. The proposed mechanism is proven to be practical in real deployment environment.
