Cross-Border E-Commerce Trade and Industrial Clusters: Evidence from China

Abstract

Combining the theories of cross-border e-commerce trade, industrial cluster management, coordinated development, and sustainable development, this paper explores the problem of the coordinated development path of China’s cross-border e-commerce trade and industrial clusters. The research purpose of this paper is to propose relevant suggestions to promote the sustainable coordinated development of cross-border e-commerce trade and industrial clusters by revealing the inherent scientific laws of the sustainable coordinated development of them. By using a literature survey method, structural equation method, and system analysis method, on the basis of constructing a model for the coordinated development of cross-border e-commerce trade and industrial clusters, this paper conducts in-depth empirical analysis combined with relevant research data and draws research conclusions. The research conclusions of this paper are as follows: (1) This paper verifies all the research hypotheses proposed. All the research hypotheses proposed in this paper are supported by valid data and have passed the empirical test. (2) Using data to scientifically prove that there is an obvious positive correlation between cross-border e-commerce trade and industrial clusters. (3) There is an obvious positive interaction between the main components of cross-border e-commerce trade and the main components of industrial clusters. Moreover, under the influence of the external environment, the two component systems can also promote the sustainable coordinated development of cross-border e-commerce trade and the sustainability of industrial clusters. (4) This paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to promote the sustainable coordinated development of cross-border e-commerce trade and industrial clusters.

Sustaining Consumer E-Commerce Adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa: Do Trust and Payment Method Matter?

“…In order of their regression weights, Performance expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, and Trust were found to significantly influence e-commerce adoption concerning path analysis (direct), proving the salient role that these factors play when it comes to e-commerce adoption in Africa and Ghana in particular. These results are supported by previous studies [9,37,47,51]. Therefore, although trust is confirmed to explain the relationship between these factors and e-commerce adoption in Ghana, industry practitioners and platform managers should not ignore the UTAUT factors in the design and promotion of e-commerce platforms.…”

“…Although Tarhini et al [37] found no linkage between SI and intention to adopt e-commerce in the UK, Johnson and Iyamu [5] found a positive relationship between SI and intention to adopt e-commerce in Malaysia. Per Clemes et al [51], subjective norms, which is a construct similar to SI, also impact e-commerce adoption. Ingham et al [47] confirmed that SI positively affects e-commerce adoption.…”

Green Energy Strategies for Cross-Border E-Commerce: A Sustainable Approach

“…Zhang M. et al [27] have discussed Sustainability transitions in e-commerce refers to the increasingly important research focusing on achieving sustainable practices in the field of electronic commerce. It has seen significant academic achievements but is hindered by the complexity and rapid pace of technological advancements, as well as challenges in measuring and implementing sustainable strategies.Yuan, Q., et al [28] have discussed Cross-border e-commerce, which involves using online platforms to sell products across international borders. This study examines its impact on the entrepreneurial vitality of urban areas in China by studying the effects of a government-led pilot program.…”

Personalized Clustering Method of Cross-Border e-Commerce Topics Based on ART Algorithm

“…When I look back on the development of cross-border e-commerce (CBE) in China, from the emergence of e-commerce in 2003 to the explosion of CBEC around 2014, I see an exploratory phase in the eld of CBEC, followed by standardized development to a state of preliminary maturity. Not only did it establish a fairly extensive network export system and a seamless sales supply chain but it also organically integrated transaction, payment, logistics, and nancial services, and the goods were marketed globally [1][2][3]. Between March 2015 and May 2020, the State Council approved a total of 105 ( ve batches) China's CBEC comprehensive pilot zones, with Shaoxing becoming China's CBEC comprehensive pilot zone in December 2019.…”
