Abstrakty

W opiacowaniu przeanalizowano wpływ współczesnych technologii e-biznesowych na wzrost gospodarczy krajów rozwijających się. Zaobserwowano, że Tanzania dokonała swoistego przeskoku technologicznego pomijając niektóre etapy rozwoju biznesu elektronicznego właściwe dla krajów rozwiniętych. Szczególnie widoczne jest to w zakresie mikrobankowości i wspomagania działania firm ma- łych i średnich. Choć prezentowane dane dotyczą Tanzanii, to zaobserwowane prawidłowości odnoszą się do większości krajów będących dopiero na dorobku - w szczególności krajów afrykańskich. (abstrakt oryginalny)
