bodies
This part of the Electronic
Money guide looks at some of the players.
Government
Within Australia government bodies
include the National Office for the Information Economy (NOIE)
The
Attorney-General's Department has an e-Commerce
Homepage, primarily concerned with the ETA. Its Electronic
Commerce Expert Group 1998 report Electronic Commerce: Building the Legal
Framework is still of value.
Overseas
Elsewhere in the guides we've pointed
to the American Bar Association's
excellent site exploring
global jurisdiction issues and the United Nations
Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL)
Industry
The Australian Bankers Association (ABA)
site is not particularly revealing. Other ffinance
industry bodies include the American Bankers Association (ABA),
British Bankers Association (BBA)
and Canadian Bankers Association (CBA).
The World Bank and The Bank of International Settlements (BIS)
are also online
academic resources
Among Australian and overseas academic institutions concerned with
electronic commerce the following may be of interest to readers of this
guide.
The Wharton Forum on
Electronic Commerce at the Wharton Business School of the
University of Pennsylvania (giving Harvard Business School a run for its
money in producing MBAs) has useful pointers to recent market studies
and other research, although note that much of the material is
restricted to Wharton affiliates.
The eLab at
Vanderbilt University is headed by Donna Hoffman & Tom Novak. The
site includes excellent papers and numerous links. MIT's eCommerce
centre offers links to a number of good studies by Ariely, Brynjolfsson
and others. The Hermes
project at the University of Michigan is primarily of interest for its
Web user surveys.
The Centre for
Electronic Commerce at Monash University seems, alas, to have
gone to sleep. We're hoping it will wake up before the next millennium.
