E-commerce policy impact on the UK i-business in the Wake of Huawei Ban by US

E-commerce policy impact on the UK i-business

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze how the information of the US ban on Huawei Technologies and the ensuing trade war between the US and China have influenced e-commerce and international business in the UK. The global digital economy is interdependent, and e-commerce-related policy significantly shapes this influence and direction globally. Telecommunication with smartphones and other technologies are driving this change with an impact on international business, specifically the i-business platforms in the UK market. Qualitative analysis is employed here. Interviews with industry experts from the US, China and the UK added value to gain a profound level of indulgence and insights into the subject matter and its associated policy implications. Aspects of e-commerce, trade flows, global value chain, and international business in general are critically evaluated in the review based on what the empirical findings indicate as areas of multi-level impact. E-commerce-related policy analysis is undertaken in this process to make recommendations with the limitations and further scope of the study.
