        Abstract. The article discusses the theoretical foundations of the development of
        global e-commerce in the processes of globalization. The analysis of the
        definition of the concept of e-commerce, identified its varieties. The authors
        investigated the main trends that have developed in the e-commerce market, and
        provide statistical indicators. In addition, the factors that influence the process of
        development and distribution of e-commerce in the world are identified. Also
        highlighted the main problems that do not allow the process of distribution of e-
        commerce technology to develop the maximum rate.

        Keywords: e-commerce, development, globalization, Internet economy, retail
        sales.


1       Introduction

The current state of the economy of any country depends largely on accurate estimation,
forecast, effective planning and e-commerce management. The modern system of
346


Internet trading is a complex integrated organizational and production system, the
components of which are constantly changing, interacting with each other. Achieving
these goals in the face of growing competition between e-commerce leads to an increase
in the volume and complexity of production processes, analysis, planning,
management, internal and external relations with suppliers, intermediaries, etc.
   However, e-commerce systems in the process of dynamic development of the
company can be considered fully justified and adapted without the use of modern
approaches to economic-mathematical modeling.
   This, in turn, is an effective means of theoretical processing and practical synthesis
of mechanisms and tools for e-commerce systems. Note that there are scientific studies
devoted to the problems of e-commerce management, various economic and
mathematical models and methods for finding managerial decisions. However, the
problem of economics and mathematical modeling of adaptive management of
electronic trading systems in conditions of uncertainty, taking into account the
influence of the factor has not yet been solved and is an actual topic of the study.
   The development of Ukraine’s integration policy in the sphere of e-commerce
depends to a large extent on the development of integration processes in the context of
the globalization of the world economy and the dominance of open economic systems.
Being one of the members of the world community, Ukraine can not be separated from
the transformation of the recent integration processes in the sphere of e-commerce.
Historical relations of cooperation, which connect Ukraine with the countries of the
post-Soviet area, in particular, are undergoing serious changes due to the socio-political
situation of our country over the past four years.


2      The Concept of e-Commerce

The rapid development of e-commerce creates problems for firms trying to develop e-
commerce strategies. This is especially difficult given the seemingly uninterrupted flow
of new information technologies and software applications. However, companies are
promoting their e-commerce strategies, partly fearing that they will lose customers over
competitors if they do not have e-commerce strategies [9].
   Since its appearance on this planet, e-commerce has attracted much attention from
scientists and researchers. There were no limitations in determining the e-commerce of
scientists, researchers and other authors. Therefore, it is necessary to make a brief
overview of the existing definitions of this concept.
   According to Roger Clark, e-commerce is defined as the trading of goods and
services through telecommunication and telecommunication tools [16].
   Jerry Ellison also defines e-commerce as an electronic contract for the exchange of
values using information and communications technology [10].
   E-commerce is also defined as doing business online, selling goods and services that
are delivered offline, as well as products that can be “digitized” and delivered online
such as software [4].
   Anil Khural defines e-commerce as the use of computer, Internet and general
software to send and receive product specifications and drawings; applications,
                                                                                     347


purchase orders and invoices; and any other type of data that needs to be passed on to
customers, suppliers, employees or the public [1].
  Summarizing all the studied definitions and existing concepts, we can define e-
commerce as:
1. in the narrow sense, e-commerce is financial transactions carried out through the
   Internet and private communication networks, during which purchases and sales of
   goods and services, as well as money transfers are made. A transaction in electronic
   commerce can be a simple confirmation of the desire and possibility of purchasing
   with a credit card and following the transfer of the necessary amount from one
   account to another;
2. in a broad sense, e-commerce is any form of business relationship where interaction
   between actors occurs through the use of Internet technologies [3].
Even though e-commerce has become a separate sector of the economy, much attention
is paid to the legislative regulation of this concept. Thus, in 1997, in accordance with
the resolution of the General Assembly of the UN adopted a Model Law “On e-
commerce”. This legislation is a recommendation and, above all, should be used by the
states as a basis for the development of national legislation.
   So, one of the most progressive countries, where legal regulation of e-commerce
relations began, is the United States. The current legislation in the state “Fundamentals
of Global E-Commerce” regulates the following aspects of relations in the field of
electronic commerce:
1. the transformation of the global Internet network on environment, subject to market
   laws and mechanisms for the implementation of communications and the
   redistribution of goods and services between different entities;
2. promotion of the development and use of electronic payment systems for the full
   “digitization” of payments;
3. promoting the development of web services for e-commerce;
4. establishment of minimal state interference in the electronic segment of the economy
   (the principle of self-regulation of e-commerce)
5. confronting non-tariff restrictions on e-commerce on the Internet [18, 11].
Next, other countries which hold leading positions in the field of communication and
information technology (Canada, Japan, Singapore, Australia) were supported and
developed all these principles according to US law in their own legislation.
   It is necessary to note that in the theory of e-commerce, this sphere can be
distinguished by the models selected on the basis of the parties of economic relations
and on their interaction between each other. The most common among them are:
1. business-to-business (B2B) – any activity of some companies in providing other
   manufacturing companies with accompanying services, as well as goods and
   services intended for the production of other goods. This field of activity is focused
   on obtaining benefits (profits) from the provision of services or the sale of goods,
   where the “objects” are services or goods, and the “subjects” are organizations that
348


   interact in the market field. Here organizations and (or) individual entrepreneurs act
   as “seller” and “buyer” of services or goods [17];
2. business-to-consumer (B2C) – the term for commercial relations between private
   individuals, the so-called “end” consumer. It is also a form of electronic commerce
   whose goal is direct sales for the consumer (end user, individual) [22];
3. consumer-to-consumer (C2C) – e-commerce of the end consumer with the end
   consumer, in which the buyer and the seller are not entrepreneurs in the legal sense
   of the word. Usually, a third party is involved in such commercial relationships – an
   intermediary who organizes a trading platform, such as an online auction, website-
   advertisements about buying/selling, etc. Also, an intermediary may be the guarantor
   and/or executor of the payment. The intermediary is not the guarantor of receiving
   goods, but in some cases may affect the resolution of controversial situations. Also,
   the mediator does not participate in the promotion of goods, the seller does this
   independently [22];
4. business-to-government (B2G) – relationship between business and government. An
   example of B2G-systems can serve as a system of electronic procurement, which,
   recently, has become especially popular in Ukraine (based on international
   experience in the framework of globalization processes) [22, 14];
5. consumer-to-government (C2G) – the direction which used to organize direct
   interaction between the government of the country and the final consumer. For
   example, in the US, almost all taxpayers filed a declaration of income through the
   sites of tax departments [22];
6. mobile commerce (m-commerce) – the process is carried out using handheld
   computers or smartphones via a remote (Internet, GPRS, etc.) connection. Mobile
   commerce, as a rule, is a software and hardware solution for automating processes
   of interaction with remote users [13].


3      Main Worldwide e-Commerce Trends

In general, the intensity of use by various subjects of possible e-commerce ser-vices,
first of all, correlates with such indicator as the number of Internet users in the country.
Let’s analyze this indicator (Fig. 1).
   Of course, given the high population density and the rapid spread of information
technology, Asia occupies a leading position. Also, it is worth noting the countries of
Europe and America, since these regions are highly developed, and the introduction of
Internet technologies is part of the active improvement of business efficiency.
   Talking about the retail e-commerce sales worldwide, we can see that in 2017 retail
e-commerce sales worldwide amounted to 2.3 trillion US dollars (Fig. 2). The top 3
online stores’ revenue (amazon.com, apple.com, wallmart.com) amounted to almost
100 billion US dollars in 2017 [20].
   Throughout the world, e-commerce is a much-growing area without signs of a
downturn in 2019 and even in subsequent years. It remains a popular choice for
investment and new businesses, and further growth will foster the development of user-
friendly development techniques, technologies and, of course, increased competition.
                                                                                             349




    Fig. 1. The number of Internet users by the regions (01.01.2018, million people) [19].




               Fig. 2. Retail e-commerce sales worldwide from 2014 to 2021,
                           * - forecast (in billion U.S. dollars) [19]

Speaking of analysis in terms of e-commerce segments, by the close of 2017, B2C
ecommerce sales will hit $2.3 trillion worldwide. B2B ecommerce, on the other hand,
will reach $7.7 trillion. Those two data points represent a 234.78% difference in market
size [8].
   Given the growth in globalization, the fact that the US share in global e-commerce
sales is steadily declining is not shocking at all. However, many enterprises do not
consider how fast this decline really does.
   Where the United States once reigned in e-commerce, it is expected that by 2020
their share will be 16.9% (compared with 22.2% in 2015).
   As a result, the lion's share of global e-commerce sales of B2B, in particular (84%),
currently resides outside of the western continent, such as North America and Europe
(16%).
   If the rapid growth of other countries is not enough to stimulate the support of an
international approach, the easing of the West is another way to wake up any unwilling
team members or leaders.
   An analysis of the share of e-commerce in global retail sales volumes also shows a
tendency for rapid growth (Fig. 3).
   Conducting an analysis of the e-commerce market in the context of existing e-
commerce models shows that B2B global sales reach $7.7 trillion USA in 2017 (Fig. 4).
So, B2B e-commerce market is more than twice bigger than B2C, and it continues to
grow.

          Fig. 4. B2B e-commerce volume, * - forecast (in billion U.S. dollars) [19]

Given that Ukraine is also actively joining integration into globalization processes, it
also occupies not the last positions in the rate of penetration of Internet technologies.
In general, about 67% of Ukrainian Internet users visit websites related to e-commerce.
If to analyze the growth rate of e-commerce in Ukraine, then they, in recent years, far
exceed the growth rate in Europe. This is primarily due to a sharp increase in the level
of Internet penetration in Ukraine, as well as the distribution of Internet users by age
and income. So, for users with income levels above the average, it reaches almost
100%, a similar situation in the age group 15-45 years, which provides a significant
proportion of active Internet buyers [19]. Also, experts note that in 2017 only 9% of
Internet users did not buy nightly Internet. Thus, the overall growth in e-commerce has
allowed Ukraine to gain primacy among European countries in 2016-2017. This trend
will continue for no more than 2 years, as the growth rate of the penetration rate of the
Internet decreases as its absolute value increases. This, in turn, has a significant impact
on the dynamics of online commerce volumes [19].


4      e-Commerce and Globalization

It is expected that globalization and e-commerce will change the economic structure of
nations. The expected economic surplus is mainly influenced by the two above-
                                                                                     351


mentioned factors. In literature, the new structure is usually called knowledge economy,
new economy or e-economy [1]. E-commerce not only reduces communication costs,
but also increases the flexibility to find actions.
    Globalization of the firms is announced as a key factor in the spread of e-commerce.
It is expected that large global companies are likely to use e-commerce more intensively
than less global firms. Companies, faced with foreign competition, are under great
pressure to adopt technologies such as e-commerce that will allow them to protect or
expand market share and work more efficiently.
    Companies conducting business outside their own country may be more interested
in lowering operating costs (such as information search, negotiation and performance
monitoring) with the help of information technology. With the help of the Internet for
transactions and coordination, it can save time and money on delivery of goods, using
rich information flows to simplify and optimize the flow of physical goods in the supply
chain.
    It is often assumed that the introduction of e-commerce is a global process managed
by a common set of participants. However, there is a theoretical basis for the
assumption that some industries and activities will seek global convergence, while
others will be marked by local differences [2].
    Based on a combination of theory and empirical findings, we assume that
globalization has a different impact on the introduction of e-commerce between B2B
and B2C, and global companies are more involved in B2B and fewer global companies
engaged more in B2C. Because B2B e-commerce is the overwhelming majority of e-
commerce, as higher B2B levels implemented by global firms will be a minor
advantage of local firms in B2C, which leads to greater overall acceptability of
e-commerce by global firms. In this section, we can conclude that:
1. Companies that are global have a higher overall adoption rate for e-commerce.
2. Companies that are global have a higher level of adoption of B2B e-commerce.
3. Companies that are global have low B2C e-commerce adoption.
In general, the following key factors can be identified that have a significant impact on
the development of e-commerce:
─ Trust. Trust can be a key factor in B2C. This gives consumers confidence that they
  are buying goods or services, even if the electronic trader is unknown. It encourages
  the wider use of e-commerce technologies, facilitates the process of electronic
  transactions, increases the adoption of e-commerce, leads to in-creasing the
  consumer affection, increases customer satisfaction, introduces the concept of
  loyalty, supports a long time-relationship with customers and helps to gain a
  competitive advantage. Future purchases can be motivated, and price increases are
  permissible. This reduces customer concern about the confidentiality of information
  and helps clients tolerate irregular errors committed by an electronic trader [15].
─ Quality. Perceived quality of goods and services has two aspects: technological,
  which refers to the delivered service, and functional, which refers to the way the
  service is provided. Response rate, offer renewal, and site performance are technical.
  Interactive communication in the network, personalization of communication with
352


  the client, as well as service, development of new forms of access for customers
  relate to the functional aspect of quality perception. The quality of the product /
  service is determined by the client’s perception of the quality of all available
  information about the product / service pro-vided by the website.
─ Government intervention. The role of the government in the development of e-
  commerce in the context of globalization is defined as that which facilitates the basic
  requirements for the development of e-commerce. These include providing secure
  online payment options, providing reliable ICT infrastructure, providing educational
  programs and raising awareness through various means, such as the media and
  educational institutions.
─ Accessibility. As the Internet is rapidly becoming the main source of information
  and services, the well thought out content and design of the e-commerce website has
  become imperative for citizens to have constant access to public information and
  increase their participation. E-commerce sites today can serve as a tool for
  communication and for relationships with customers and the general public.
  Information and personal data can be easily transferred to external stakeholders [12].
  In addition, scientists define the availability of the Internet as an incentive for people
  to use, perceive, understand, direct and interact with the network and the outside
  world. International Standardization Organization (ISO) has identified accessibility
  as “the convenience of using a product, service, environment or object with the
  widest range of opportunities”.


5      Existing Problems in the Development of International e-
       Commerce

Despite the above factors, which have a significant progressive impact on the
development of e-commerce, there are also certain obstacles that delay the process of
distribution of e-commerce technology.
   First of all, this is a technical barrier. Many technical difficulties still prevail and are
clearly seen as major challenges to the growth of global e-commerce. In addition, this
group of problems included problems of infrastructure development or problems at the
organization level related to the integration of new e-commerce solutions into existing
outdated systems, standard problems, problems related to Internet capabilities, security
problems, etc.
   In addition, in both the real sector and e-commerce, a process such as corruption has
a significant negative impact. Corruption is hampering electronic commerce;
corruption is a huge problem for international trade in general, often in connection with
customs procedures, and is associated with everything from bribery to the
disappearance of items. Both small and large businesses emphasize this problem. An
increasing number of enterprises believe that e-commerce is particularly sensitive to
corruption, as many small parties that are “easier to deploy” often go, and electronic
merchants often do not have staff to be able to follow any problems. One company
explained that it decided to leave the Chinese market, and the other - that it did not
begin to sell to Russia because of corruption. In addition, Turkey, Ukraine and other
                                                                                       353


countries of Eastern Europe were mentioned as problematic in relation to corruption in
e-commerce.
    And the last, but extremely significant factor that can be identified, is the cognitive
barrier. Most analysts argue that the cognitive barrier is the most serious among other
forms of barriers in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.
Effects such as ignorance and uncertainty serve as cognitive feedback. In most
developing countries enterprises, technological resources, lack of awareness and
understanding of the existing potential, underestimation of risk and inertia often lead to
a negative assessment of the entire e-commerce system. Another reason for the
cognitive barrier is unfortunately connected with the in-creasing general and computer
illiteracy and the lack of English language skills. It is known that the majority of
software, human-computer interfaces and content on the Internet is available in English.
It is estimated that more than half of the population of developing countries and
countries with economies in transition (including Ukraine) cannot speak the official
language (in English) of their countries, especially the older generation.
    Speaking specifically about Ukraine, the country is actively increasing its position
in world rankings related to the speed of the introduction of e-commerce. But for
Ukraine, as well as for other transition economies, the main barrier for the further
development of e-commerce is the presence of large foreign players. The biggest
“problem” is the growing popularity of such a service as AliExpress. It can also be
explained by a wide choice of offers, better services, the ability to pay hryvnia credit
cards and being lower than the price offers. The difference in prices on foreign and
domestic sites reaches 100%. Since February 2017, this company has changed the
conditions of delivery to Ukraine altogether, canceling free delivery, but in return it
provided consumers with the opportunity to track the passage of goods all the way from
the seller to the buyer. According to a study [6], the majority of buyers agree to pay
extra for this option, as well as for speeding up the delivery, since prices, however, turn
out to be much lower.


6      Investigation of the Factors of Influence on Integration into
       the World e-Commerce Market

An important part of the study of the prospects for the development of county's
integration into the international e-commerce system is the process of selecting a
system of indicators that will allow to assess such integration.
   The introduction of the principles of e-commerce in business relationships of any
level is subject to many factors. The most important factors are the general state of the
country’s economy; the world market situation; the economic status of major partners;
level of state regulation of foreign economic activity [2]. To characterize these factors
and assess their impact on country’s integration processes in the international
e-commerce system, it is important to choose appropriate set of indicators. Since the
main focus of e-commerce is mainly on trade activity, this system of indicators will be
such that determines the trade and economic status of integration associations: x1 
export within the association; x2  total export; x3  import within the association; x4 
354


total import; x5  direct foreign investments, internal and external flows and reserves
(annual); x6  GDP; x7  total annual trade; x8  total volume of trade; x9  balance of
payments, current annual operations accounts.
   In order to establish the importance of the impact of selected economic development
indicators on the differentiation of integration associations, we will construct a
discriminatory function (for standardized data in 2017). Thus, the model of
differentiation in the development of integration processes in the global e-commerce
market in 2017 has the form:

                       f(x) = -8.67098x1  6.36273x2  9.60139x3 +
                         + 21.273x4 + 1.50212x5  5.68611x6 
                          11.567x7  0.450606x8 + 0.167332x9.

   The analysis of the weighting coefficients obtained as a result of the discriminant
analysis allows us to draw certain conclusions regarding the impact of the factors in
integration processes:
                          x4 > x7 > x3 > x1 > x2 > x6 > x5 > x8 > x9.

   Thus, the constructed model and the carried out quantitative analysis allow us to see
a significant difference in the importance of the influence of certain factors on the
process of integration of the regions of the world into the system of international e-
commerce.


7      Conclusions

E-commerce technology has helped companies differently. This not only helped
businesses and firms sell their products and services around the world and easily, but
also helped customers make purchases at any convenient time and everywhere.
    Since its existence, until now, there were no restrictions on the search for advanced
technologies that would meet the current situation of e-commerce by experts and
enterprises. This means that the e-commerce we see today will not be the same in the
next five years. E-commerce will see enormous growth and advances in technology, as
it continues to grow stronger in business both in developed and developing countries.
    As they say, “growing brings many benefits and problems”, so we have to put
ourselves in a better position to cope with the challenges that accompany the growth of
e-commerce technologies.
    In this paper the main factors and key problems of development of international e-
commerce under the conditions of globalizations were defined. In addition, a
discriminant analysis of selected factors was conducted and a model of differentiation
in the development of integration processes, on the basis of which we can clearly see
the importance of selected indicators in the process of integration into the world e-
commerce market, was calculated. Also, it is proved that Ukraine is not an exception
and also follows the trends in the introduction of e-commerce methods in all forms of
business. The processes of globalization have also touched the online sphere, which
                                                                                          355


will undoubtedly become the driving force in the development of this sphere and,
possibly, the smooth displacement of the relative sector.
