1. Security issues of e-commerce

Everything has two sides. While Internet brings convenience to foreign trade companies, it also introduces security traps to foreign trade companies. At present, the first and biggest problem that hinders the widespread application of e-commerce in foreign trade companies is security.

1. Internet security management issues: Internet security is not just a security technology issue, the most important thing is a management issue. On the one hand, the network is composed of various clusters of servers, workstations, terminals, etc., so the entire network inherits their respective security risks. On the other hand, users must operate various safety equipment reasonably, otherwise, no matter how good the equipment is, it will not be safe.

2. Security issues of the network system software itself: The security of the network system software itself is directly related to network security. The security functions of the network system software are few or incomplete, as well as negligence or poor consideration in system design. The remaining problems are equivalent to leaving many "backdoors" for factors that endanger network security.

3. Security design issues of databases in network systems: Database security issues are to ensure the safety, reliability and effectiveness of data. There are insecurities in the database, such as authorized users exceeding their access rights to make changes; illegal users bypassing the security kernel and stealing information resources.

4. Transmission line safety and quality issues: When the communication quality of the line is not good, no matter what transmission line is used, it will directly affect the networking effect, data loss, equipment failure, and line blocking caused by natural forces. , In severe cases, it may even cause network interruption, which will seriously endanger the integrity of communication data.

5. Other typical factors that threaten network security: computer hackers, insiders committing crimes, conflicts caused by program sharing, computer viruses, etc. are all important factors that threaten network security.

2. Conflicting issues in management models

As a new business model, e-commerce has brought unprecedented development opportunities to the world economy, and it has also brought unprecedented development opportunities to governments and business circles. a huge challenge. E-commerce has strongly affected the traditional management model in both breadth and depth, and will surely cause profound changes in foreign trade enterprise management ideas, behavior patterns, and management theories and methods.

1. Within foreign trade companies, the application of e-commerce model can reduce the company's management level and the number of management personnel, and the company's layoffs will inevitably affect the psychological emotions of foreign trade company employees, and the company's employees' emotions are in a state of When people are in panic about being laid off, it will reduce employee productivity.

2. When foreign trade companies apply e-commerce, they need to invest huge amounts of money in purchasing equipment and system maintenance, which makes financial management and capital turnover difficult under the previous traditional management model.

3. Under the traditional management model, managers in foreign trade companies only need to be familiar with the processes of foreign trade, plan e-commerce projects, build e-commerce systems, and finally apply them flexibly to business operations and management. , its implementation rate depends largely on the relevant technical talents in foreign trade enterprises. In this case, foreign trade enterprises will inevitably have a shortage of talents.

3. Integrity issues in e-commerce

As we all know, credit is the foundation of the market economy, and the credit system is gradually established and improved with the maturity and development of the market economy. E-commerce has high requirements on the credibility of merchants, and the establishment and improvement of a credit system is one of the essential conditions for the development of e-commerce. In general, the issue of integrity can be divided into two aspects:

1. The lack of integrity of export merchants, such as there are many counterfeit and shoddy products, and after-sales service cannot be guaranteed; the quality of some goods is poor Poor performance, and exaggerated advertising, all of which make foreign customers lack trust in the e-commerce of our foreign trade companies and become a bottleneck hindering the development of our foreign trade companies' e-commerce.

2. Foreign customers lack integrity. Foreign trade companies’ e-commerce orders all come from the Internet. However, our country’s foreign trade companies lack sufficient understanding of foreign customers, which can easily lead to trade disputes, and international trade The lawsuit may affect our country's international relations. Some scholars in our country pointed out that the problem of e-commerce is not just an electronic problem or a business problem, but a commercial credit problem and a moral problem on which commercial credit is established.

Therefore, the issue of e-commerce credit is also a great challenge for my country's foreign trade enterprises to develop e-commerce.

4. The lag problem of laws and regulations

In the traditional international trade process, disputes between buyers and sellers are inevitable. As a new way of business activities, e-commerce is also inevitable A series of legal disputes have arisen, and online disputes have their own uniqueness that is different from traditional disputes, such as economic disputes in online transactions, privacy protection, commercial contract certification, how e-commerce is taxed, transaction written form requirements, signature requirements Confirmation, contract formulation, form and transfer of electronic bills of lading, electronic currency, protection of intellectual property rights, etc. still lack corresponding game rules and institutional reference coordinates; another example is that paper contracts in traditional international trade are identified through handwritten signatures or seals. Identity to determine whether the contract is valid. In e-commerce contracts, there is neither a paper contract nor a handwritten signature or seal, but a digital signature is used to confirm it. It is necessary to solve the legal issues of these electronic contracts and digital signatures. In order to ensure that the entire international e-commerce is always developing in a healthy and orderly manner, it is necessary to bring these new issues into the track of standardization and legalization, and use legal means to standardize and adjust the new international e-commerce relations. Obviously, , globally, a unified international e-commerce law may not have been enacted. As a result, countries will consider their own economic interests, and my country's foreign trade companies will suffer great losses.
