亞太地區無紙化貿易最佳典範 / Globalization boosts the leap of international trade to its full scale as the market and production site of any products are extended far beyond the country boundary, depending on the optimization of cost and efficiency. However, the paper-intensive procedures of international trade can severely slow down the whole process and as a result, hinders the efficiency of international trade. Implementation of paperless trading can increase trade efficiency. It can enhance the competitiveness and improve the services of both the public and private sectors. Basically all participants of trade can be benefited from the realization of paperless trading. Asia Pacific is the world's major trading area, the trade volume of 21 APEC member economies accounts for about half of world trade volume, economic aggregate accounting for about 67% of the total world economy. This study aims to identify the best practices in paperless trading among economies in Asia Pacific region, and the critical success factors (CSFs) for cross-border paperless trading, from perspectives of government, regulation, and private business processes. By learning the implementation procedures of the best practices identified as well as examining the CSFs and evaluating the project’s conditions against the CSFs prior to the actual implementation of a paperless trading project, it is hoped that the increase of success rate of future paperless trading projects would be achieved and hence foster the development of regional paperless trading projects.
