The “Report” is the result of continuous monitoring of the development of the electronic economy in Poland conducted by the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing (ILiM). The book presents the changes that took place in the electronic economy in the years 2001-2002. An analysis of the state of the new market, known as the electronic market, was performed, and a synthesis of the advancement of public services, including the infrastructure necessary for their use, was presented.
The first part of the publication covers content related to the electronic economy in a general way, treating it as an introduction for the Reader to the rules of operation in the electronic market. The second part, however, contains information reporting on the state of the electronic economy in Poland in 2002, constituting a practical compendium of knowledge on this subject. The report contains many abbreviations and concepts characteristic of electronic economy phenomena; their broader meaning is explained in the attached glossary of terms.
The book is addressed primarily to participants in economic life. In the authors’ opinion, many other recipients who perceive themselves as conscious members of the information society will also reach for the “Report”.
