“…The significant potential of the e-commerce market in India presents a unique opportunity to accelerate the process of SDG implementation via SEE. E-commerce provides opportunities for entrepreneurs, especially from rural and slum areas (Anooja, 2015). Due to the popularization of Internet access, India is mainly associated with the highly skilled cheap labor force (Kraemer et al, 2006), which presents a huge potential for rural and slum SEE growth (Raman & Chebrolu, 2007).…”

E-commerce plays a significant role in driving global economic growth, and the integration of sustainable practices into business has given rise to the concept of Sustainable E-commerce Entrepreneurship (SEE). As the number of SEE initiatives continues to grow, examining their impact on implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) becomes crucial. This study aims to explore the disparities between German and Indian SEEs regarding their perspectives on SDG implementation. This study presents a unique approach by comparing the viewpoints of e-commerce entrepreneurs in the Indian National Capital Region of New Delhi and the Berlin-Brandenburg Region in Germany regarding SDG implementation through SEE activities. The interviewees from both countries were asked about three key aspects: (1) the current impact of SEE on SDGs implementation, (2) the future impact of SEE on a specific category of SDGs, and (3) whether e-commerce should be seen as a source of global patterns for SDGs implementation or should be tailored to local needs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather data, and the scripted interviews were analyzed with the assistance of ATLAS.ti software. The study collected semi-structured interviews with ten Indian and nine German SEEs. The study’s findings indicate that German SEEs place a greater emphasis on SDGs related to the biosphere compared to their Indian counterparts. This divergence in prioritization aligns with the socio-economic challenges currently faced by Indian society, which influences their focus on social and economic SDGs. Indian SEEs do not foresee significant contributions to improving the biosphere through SEE activities in the future. In contrast, German SEEs demonstrate an idealistic perspective on SDG implementation, with a stronger emphasis on the biosphere category of SDGs.

Rural e‐commerce in China: Spatial dynamics of Taobao Villages development in Zhejiang Province

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The fast-growing e-commerce has dramatically changed the economic structure of China's rural area. As a unique example, Taobao Villages present a brand-new model to adopt globalization's penetration to achieve rural-urban integration and rural revitalization for developing countries. This study analyzes the spatial trajectory and dynamics of the Taobao Villages development in Zhejiang Province during 2014-2020. We found that these villages were expanding toward the downtown areas of cities, which led to a new pattern of urban-rural division. By constructing panel regression models, we further found that orthodox location factors such as land cost, transportation, and agglomeration played a dominant role in villages' spatial expansion and growth. Regional factors like industrial foundation and labor were also important. These findings suggest that the Taobao Villages in Zhejiang have been upgraded from isolated workshops in rural areas to small manufacturers' clusters and further incorporated into the global urban economy. To better guide and coordinate the development of Taobao Villages, local governments might need to construct ecommerce parks to achieve an agglomeration economy and industrial upgrading.
