E-Commerce in plastics-yellow brick road or road kills,on the information superhighway?

摘要

E-Commerce has touched all the commercial/consumer applications including banking,retailing,travel,energy among others.Because of:(1) the traditional markets,(2) oligopolistic nature,(3) internal consumption and (4) emphasis on personal relationships,Chemicals/plastics industry has been much slower to adapt to E-Commerce.With the current reorganization in dotcon companies,which formed the facades for the chemical companies,the industry is in serious re-evaluation of the role of E-Commerce in Chemicals/Plastics.
