Modeling and Control of MIMO Headbox System Using Fuzzy LogicIJERA Editor
The Headbox plays an important role in pulp supply system with sheet forming in paper making process. The air cushion headbox is a nonlinear & strong coupling system. In the air cushion headbox system there were two important parameters which include total head and the stock level for improving pulp product quality. These two parameters make this system MIMO output system so for this a decoupling controls strategy was required for interaction between these two control loops. In this paper fuzzy tuned PID control scheme is proposed for controlling the nonlinear control problem in air cushion headbox after the system being decoupled. An attempt has been made for comparison between classical (PID) and fuzzy tuned PID controller. It concludes that the fuzzy tuned PID controller is found most suitable for MIMO system in terms of obtaining steady state properties. The effects of disturbances are studied through computer simulation using Matlab/Simulink toolbox.

Image Enhancement and Restoration by Image InpaintingIJERA Editor
Inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost or deteriorated part of images based on the background information. i. e .it fills the missing or damaged region in an image utilizing spatial information of its neighboring region. Inpainting algorithm have numerous applications. It is helpfully used for restoration of old films and object removal in digital photographs. The main goal of the algorithm is to modify the damaged region in an image in such a way that the inpainted region is undetectable to the ordinary observers who are not familiar with the original image. This proposed work presents image inpainting process for image enhancement and restoration by using structural, texture and exemplar techniques. This paper presents efficient algorithm that combines the advantages of these two approaches. We first note that exemplar-based texture synthesis contains the essential process required to replicate both texture and structure; the success of structure propagation, however, is highly dependent on the order in which the filling proceeds. We propose a best-first algorithm in which the confidence in the synthesized pixel values is propagated in a manner similar to the propagation of information in inpainting. The actual color values are computed using exemplar-based synthesis. Computational efficiency is achieved by a blockbased sampling process.

Survey Paper on Image Denoising Using Spatial Statistic son PixelIJERA Editor
The classical non-local means image denoising approach, the value of a pixel is determined based on the weighted average of other pixels, where the weights are determined based on a fixed isotropic ally weighted similarity function between the local neighbourhoods. It is demonstrate that noticeably improved perceptual quality can be achieved through the use of adaptive anisotropic ally weighted similarity functions between local neighbourhoods. This is accomplished by adapting the similarity weighing function in an anisotropic manner based on the perceptual characteristics of the underlying image content derived efficiently based on the Mexican Hat wavelet. Experimental results show that the it can be used to provide improved perceptual quality in the denoised image both quantitatively and qualitatively when compared to existing methods.
A Comparison Analysis of Unipolar and Bipolar Switching modulated Cascade H-B...IJERA Editor
This paper discusses controlling of cascaded H-bridge multi inverter with sinusoidal modulation based PWM methods. Multi-level inverters are used to reduce the THD in the output wave form without reduction in power output of inverter. Increase in voltage level in the output voltage of an inverter increases numbers of components to be used in inverter configuration. This in turn increases the switching loss. But results in good harmonic distortion and provide better quality fundamental wave. Carrier based PWM schemes are used for control of switching operation of multi-level inverters. Many kinds of PWM schemes are available to control inverter switches. In this paper uniploar carrier based PWM, bipolar carrier based PWM schemes are considered for generation of carrier signals. The carrier signals thus generated are compared with sinusoidal and third harmonic based sinusoidal modulating signals for production of switching Pulses. Switching schemes are designed for a 3 Phase 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 Level inverters. The proposed switching schemes are applied to Cascaded H-Bridge Multi Level inverters. The circuit is simulated with MATLAB Simulink environment for verification of total harmonic distortion.

Today e-commerce has become crucial element to transform some of the world countries into an information society. Business to consumer (B2C) in the developing countries is not yet a normalcy as compared to the developed countries. Consumer behaviour research has shown disappointing results regarding the overall use of the Web for online shopping, despite its considerable promise as a channel for commerce. As the use of the Internet continues to grow in all aspects of daily life, there is an increasing need to better understand what trends of internet usage and to study the barriers and problem of ecommerce adoption. Hence, the purpose of this research is to define how far Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) contributed in e-commerce adoption. Data for this study was collected by the means of a survey conducted in Malaysia in 2010. A total of 611 questionnaire forms were delivered to respondents. The location of respondents was within Penang state. By studying this sample, conclusions would be drawn to generalize the interests of the population.
The Changing Face of E Commerce in Nigeria Prospects and ChallengesYogeshIJTSRD
While prior studies focused on the determinants of adoption of e commerce in large scale businesses and organizations, there is a few of empirical research on this issue of acceptance of e commerce in retail shops in emerging economies. This study addresses this lacuna by focusing on the changing faces of e commerce factors driving Nigerian retail shops’ adoption of online selling. A framework based on the extant literature and established model in the relevant field is critically examined in this study. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using frequency and percentage. The results showed that there is low involvement of consumers in e commerce changes in Nigeria. Secondly, the study also found out that the availability of online shopping does not affect the number of shopping trips that consumers make to physical stores. This finding has implications for e commerce sites and the government in designing an appropriate strategy for the implementation of technological innovation that are highlighted in the study.

A Rainbow Technology for a Rainbow People: E-Business Capacity Development fo...Alwyn Didar Singh
Why does the CARICOM need capacity development in E-Business?
As e-Commerce growth becomes more and more significant, the CARICOM countries will need not just to understand, but in fact to actively engage in it. Not only for realizing it’s potential of growth for their trade and industry but also as a means of survival in the new world of e-Commerce-based trade and business. Their ability to do so will depend on several factors, such as their infrastructure, both physical (the telecommunication network), as well as the financial and legal framework, including the business and trade environment conducive to e-Business. It will also depend on the availability and price of hardware (computers, routers, switches etc.) and software, as well as the human resource and education standards of the country.
As in the case of several developing countries, these essential ‘factors of eproduction’, so to speak are not necessarily in place or are in limited supply. In order to take active part in the new economy as well as be prepared for the adaptation and use of e-Business for old economy transactions especially for international trade and commerce, these countries and their enterprises need to come up to speed and become e-enabled. Section I of this report outlines the objectives, methodology and rationale for the study and also places in perspective the importance of e-Business for developing countries such as those of the Caribbean. The CARICOM member states also need to prepare for discussions on e-Commerce in the international arena, especially the WTO and FTAA. They need to understand, and assess carefully from their perspective, the pros and cons of the different proposals and issues in this connection that could emerge at these forums. They will thus need to appreciate the possible impact of this new phenomenon on their economies and work out appropriate strategies and responses to it. This section also summarizes these issues.
In order therefore to develop an e-Business capacity development strategy, this CFTC Mission, was so designed as to first carry out a diagnostic analysis to assess how e-Ready the CARICOM member states are and then make recommendations towards a possible blueprint for the future.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

E-Commerce in Developing Countries: A Case Study on the
Factors Affecting E-commerce Adoption in Libyan Companies
Mohamed Othman El-fitouri
Faculty of Economics and Political Sciences, Department of Electronic Commerce, Al-Zaytoonah University,
Bani-Walid, Libya.
Abstract
The rapid development and increasing spread of e-commerce technology utilization have led to inspiring more
Libyan companies to inaugurate web sites on the internet, in order to make much benefit from the services
render thereon, to increase the mutual exchanges between these companies and other states, in such a manner as
to save time and cost and stock as well as to create a competitive advantage. However, there are some obstacles
which impede making benefit from the advantages and opportunities the e-commerce attempts to make.The
paper aimed to determine the most important obstacles that are facing the implementation of commerce, that is
to say, technological, Legal, human and organizational obstacles in the Libyan companies. This is on one hand,
however, the paper aimed, on the other, to know whether there is a correlation that is statistically significant
between such obstacles as to affect the implementation of e-commerce and the level of utilization of the same by
industrial and commercial companies in Libya.Findings have shown, on the whole, that there is a high positive
correlation of statistical significance at (α = 0.01) and (α =0.05) levels between the obstacles which affect
commerce and the level of e-commerce utilization, this is pursuant to the points of view of the managers of the
companies in question.The paper has reached a number of findings which have shown the fact that there are
many obstacles which may impede the growth of commerce in Libya. This is in addition to other significant
findings the paper has reached. However, the paper has suggested a number of recommendations to help
develop e-commerce in Libya.This paper also contributes substantially to enrich the applied research studies on
commerce and its applied activities and provides in details the related debate on the similarities and proposals
for future studies.

I. Introduction:
Recent years have witnessed a great development of
the Internet led to a growing number of Internet users
in the world, which has increased the importance of
e-commerce. The importance of this stems from the
lack of any geographical or political obstacles in
front of e-commerce as the business up to millions of
consumers in the whole world. Electronic commerce
or “e-commerce” is defined as doing business
electronically. Electronic commerce covers any form
of business or administrative transaction or
information exchange that is executed using any
information and communications technology (ICT)”.
E-commercealsorefers as the process of buying and
selling or exchanging products, service, and
information through computer networks including the
Internet.E-commerce is performing business
activities via the Internet. These activities include
buying and selling, and refer to information exchange
as well as product exchange as shown in figure 1.
Since its introduction in the 1970s, e-commerce has
developed progressively. Nowadays almost every
business organization has its own website so as to
meet the demand of the increasing number of Internet
users.

Figure 1. E-commerce concept
Access and look at the reality of the business
environment in Libyan, the existence of a set of
manifestations which indicate the presence of
problems. Theseproblems include:
1. Lack of awareness and preparedness for most
managers of Libyan industrial and commercial
companies regarding the importance and the
advantages of using electronic commerce.
2. Lack of confidence managers of Libyan
industrial and commercial companies in dealing
with e-commerce because of the risks that
surround it.
3. Weak consumer confidence in online shopping,
which leads to reluctance to put credit card
details, such as credit card number and CVV
number (Card Verification Value), in addition to
the lack of familiarity with the English language.
4. The failure of the Libyan banks in taking an
effective role in facilitating the payment systems
e-commerce
5. High costs related to Web design and technical
support for electronic commerce.
6. The existing e-commerce in the Libyan industrial
and commercial companies confined mostly to
the presence of a page belonging to the
companies on the International Network (Home
Page).
7. Lack of technical staff and specialists who are
able to manage e-commerce and websites in the
company.
8. Adoption of Libyan companies on traditional
methods of interacting with consumers.
Based on the previous limitations of e-commerce
in Libya, the problem statement can be summarized
as follows:
‘Despite the growing role of electronic commerce
with the trend towards global, however, the
Libyan industrial and commercial companies are
still dealing with traditional business methods’
The study derives its importance from the
importance of electronic commerce as the world goes
into e-commerce interfaces of different styles which
reached to 15 trillion dollars in the worldwide by
2011, which confirms the importance of e-commerce.
It also shows the importance of the Internet as a
global communication through rapid deployment
globally compared to other methods of
communication such as television, radio, personal
computer, and phone. The special importance of e-
commerce for industrial and commercial companies
in Libya lies in the gains achieved by e-commerce for
them.
II. Objectives of the study
The objectives of this study are as follows:
1. To identify the current status of the adoption of e-
commerce incompanies (industrial and commercial)
in Libya.
2. To identify the most important obstacles facing the
implementation of e-commerce (technological, legal,
human, organizational).
3. To understand the relationship between the
obstacles affecting the implementation of e-
commerce and the level of use of e-commerce
companies (industrial and commercial).
4. To providesomerecommendations that contributes
to the establishment of a clear idea about how can
Libyan companies benefit from e-commerce.

III. Literature and hypotheses:
Scientists and researchers have not yet reached to
a common definition of e-commerce because of the
multiplicity and variety of definitions, some of them
tend to narrow, and the other tends to expand [1].
This difference in views which reflected on the
differing interpretations for:
Continuous development which changed year
after year, leading to an expansion of the means,
methods, and objectives and thus expanding the
concept.
Different areas mean different interpretations of
e- commerce. As each area interprets the
meaning of e-commerce from the point of view
that it serves.[2]has defined the e- commerce
astheprocess of buying or selling, converting, or
replacement goods or services or information via
computer networks including the Internet.
Whereas, e- commerce has been defined by [3]
citing [4] as trade of goods and services that are
using the Internet and other digital media.
Furthermore, while [5]indicated that e-
commerce is the process of buying and selling by
electronic means.[6]indicated that e-commerce is
a type of sale and purchase transactions between
consumers and producers or between companies
by using information and communication
technologies. [7]has shown that e-commerce is
the process of production, promotion, sale, and
distribution of products through communication
networks '.
The processes of transition to the use of systems
and methods of e-commerce is a complex processfor
many businesses, because this transformation can
only be achieved through a deliberate plan built on
the foundations of thought developed which
combines the company's culture, its capabilities and
its ability of the hand, and between the challenges
and obstacles associated with the extensive use of
information and communication technologies on the
other hand. On this basis, there is a set of procedural
steps that the company must be implemented;
including the establishment of the website on the
Internet includes many stages that have to be
followed asexplainedbymany researchers [ 8-6 ], as
shown in the following:
3.1. Use of electronic email (Email)
During this stage, businesses start to enter the
world of e-commerceina very simple concept through
getting a special email address the organization or
company.
3.2. Subscribe to internet services
Subscribe in internet services to expand the
transactions through email. With access the Internet
to the company, the first steps of the actual use of the
principles of electronic commerce will begin, where
the company turned in its correspondence to the e-
mail and achieve the considerable saving in cost with
great openness to the world.
3.3. Creating home pages for information on the
network
Begin the transition from using e-mail to the
physical presence of the company by creating simple
Web pages includes information about the company.
This will be the first use of the network in the field of
advertising to allow the customers to see what goes
on of activities in the company‟s.
3.4. Website
With the growth in the use of the Internet,the
company might considershifting to a higher level of
use through the establishment of the websitefor
information on the Internet, the company in which
the interaction between the company and its agents
and their products price lists and catalogs.
Establishment of Information website requires
several key components including:
Server
Leased Line
Routers + Modems
Special programs and applications
Technical work team specialized in website
management
A team for preparing and updating data
3.5. Electronic Store
Commercial transactions through the Internet
require providing degrees of protection and
insurance, it also requires the connection with one of
the banks to facilitate financial payments. From here,
the shift to the level of full transactions on the
Internet requires in addition components of security
and protection, as well as a financial method of
payment.
3.6. Full Loop EC
Integration between all the operations of e-
commerce can be achieved through linking the
websites with the foundation's internal information
systems and achieve full connection between the
company and its customerswith the level of internal
information systems, this requires providing the
highest level of information security.
IV. Benefits of electronic commerce
E-commerce systems offer many opportunities and
benefits at all levels, both at the individual level and
at the level of enterprises and business sectors or at
the community level. [2]concluded that e- commerce
can achieve many benefits to users and customers. E-
commerce can be divided as follows:

4.1. Benefits of e-commerce to organizations:
One of the most prominent benefits of e-
commerce for organizations that it expands the scope
of the market from the scope of the local
representative to the scope of the international and
global scale and that, with a few costs, as any
company can find consumers more and better more
appropriate partners in a fast and easy way. Some
studies have demonstrated that the adoption of e-
commerce systems that would lead to a reduction in
administrative costs of the procurement process by
more than 85 % [2]. The following example
illustrates the benefits of electronic commerce, in the
United States of America, the bank draft costs 43
cents and the electronic payment costs only 2 cents
[9].
Follow the e-commerce systems help all
enterprises in the reduction of inventory and follow
the manufacturing systems and modern distribution
resource planning and needs using the system
specified timing (Just in Time), where an entity at the
request of goods from producers once received
purchase orders by consumers, and are shipped
directly to send it to them. Hence, the storage costs
drop dramatically, resulting in a reduction in
insurance costs and other costs related to the process
of storing[10].In addition to the foregoing, the e-
commerce helps to dispense with intermediaries as
there is no need for the existence of intermediaries
between the seller and the buyer in cyberspace[11],
as they reduce airline costs by selling tickets online
without the intervention of intermediaries trading as
mentioned in the Financial Times newspaper
(September 6, 2002 number).
E-commerce enables the re-engineering of
business processes, and through this change, the
productivity vendors, staffs, and administrators to
jump more than 100% [12]. The e-commerce systems
lead to the reduction of communication costs through
its adoption ofthe International Network for
communications (Internet) which is at least at the
cost of a network of value-added, or the so-called
(VANs) [2]. The adoption also leads to a decrease in
the costs of transport, especially in the case of digital
products that can be transferred across the network
directly, as is the case in computer programs [2].As
well as easy to conclude deals and contracts, using
the technologies of knowledge for purchase through
the Internet, including technology (Click and Pay),
the fame of this technology has increased in terms of
transactions over the Internet, and can be performed
by consumers and businesses throughout 24 hours a
day during all days of the year, [13]. [12]has been
added the benefits of e-commerce to improve the
company's image and effectiveness of customer
service and to find new trading partners and facilitate
operations and reduce the time period to send the
products and services and increase productivity and
eliminate paperwork, reduce transportation costs and
finally increase flexibility in transactions.
4.2. Benefits of e-commerce to consumers
E-commerce enables buyers to purchase 24
hours a day, and access to all markets in the world
simultaneously from anywhere. In general, the e-
commerce is cheaper for shopping, because the seller
can be marketed on a lot of websites on the Internet
and compares a company's goods easily with their
counterparts, and eventually will be able to choose
the best offer for him [12].The benefits of e-
commerce is reflected in improving services to the
consumer, whether in transactions between
companies and consumers (B2C), or through the
purchase of the website directly (Online Shopping),
or transactions between Government and people,
which is known as the E- government[13]. It also
enables of shopping through international networks
and participation in the auctions directly without the
limits of place or the distance or time[12].
4.3. Benefits of e-commerce to society
E-commerce allows an individual to work at
home, reducing the default time for shopping, which
means less congestion in the streets, thus reducing the
proportion of air pollution [2]. It also allows people
who live in third world countries to buy the products
and goods not available in their home countries. They
can also obtain the university certificates crossed
Internet [14]. It also enables the creation of new
opportunities for self-employment through the
establishment of an opportunity for small and
medium-sized businesses that connect to global
markets at the lowest possible cost[15]. In addition to
the above, e- commerce is also able to provide public
services via the Internet, such as educational services,
health care, and social services at the lowest price
and highest quality[2].
[16]has emerged a new concepts to help
companies to transition towards e-commerce, or the
so-called external resource service (Outsourcing),
which is based on the idea that, rental structure of e-
commerce partially or completely rather than
established within the company that want to convert
their work, in order to be across the network so that
all or part of the information infrastructure essential
for any company is located away from company site
under the management of the enterprise professional
in providing such a service, which helps to reduce
costs and reduce the time needed to fulfill customer
requests.
V. Obstacles to the implementation of e-
commerce
Despite the multiplicity of benefits arising from
the implementation of e-commerce, the Arab
countries still face significant challenges, In general,
5. M Othman El-fitouri Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com
ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 5, Issue 1( Part 1), January 2015, pp.102-115
www.ijera.com 106|P a g e
[2] has divided the obstacles into two types of
obstacles, technical obstacles, and other non-
technical obstacles as follows:
5.1. Technical obstacles
1. Lack of security system or to strengthen
confidence in the transactions, and may not have
adequate standards (and protocols) of the
organization for commercial transactions that
take place electronically.
2. Low percentage of Internet users because of high
prices with a low individual income [17]. The
number of Internet users in the Arab world about
29.4 million users by the end of 2007, which
means only about 2.5% of the population of
users in the world (Internet World 2008, Stats).
3. Tools for software development are still
constantly changing and quickly and therefore
difficult to connect the Internet and e-commerce
software‟s with some applications and databases
used [12].
4. The need to have a private networks and
infrastructure for seller beside the general
communications network sometimes may be
expensive for some buyers, especially in the case
of small enterprises.
5. Robberies of bank accounts through the
computer, and the need for verification of the
access of the amounts due for transactions with
the parties involved and make sure there is no
manipulation or fraud in the credit cards used
[18].
5.2. Nontechnical obstacles
1. High implementationcosts, where the costs of
providing the necessary computer programs to
deal implementatione-commerce systems is
relatively high from the point of view of the
ordinary consumer.
2. Fear of providing personal data, particularly
related to financial aspects or exposure to
electronic messages received without their
consent[19].
3. Browse the Internet is still too expensive for
many people and the connection speed is still
slow in many of the countries of the world
including Libya [12].
4. There are some legislative and legal aspects of
electronic commerce has not yet been set clear
and decisive solutions for any system
applications.
5. The inability of the consumer to see the product
visually before buying it online, plus it is
possible to buy items unauthorized selling [18]as
some customers want to touch the products
before buying them as in traditional commerce.
6. The proliferation of commercial fraud and the
absence of appropriate legislation and
weaknessof the security of online
communications is one of the obstacles that
hinder growth of e-commerce in the Arab
region[20].
7. The low level of awareness and knowledge about
the e-commerce are a global problem faced by
many countries, including developed [21].
8. The limited number of Internet users in the Arab
world and not ready interesting in e-commerce
practice.
9. The lack of attendance of Arab banks and
services in e-space and low ownership rate of
credit cards[22].
10. E-commerce is still in its first phase, which is
characterized by rapid change; many people
want to provide tangible things before
investing[12].
11. The social and psychological obstacles that
include language, lack of confidence between
people and regulations, despite the entry of
Arabic language in many of the software‟s, but
the psychological barrier still exists[17].
12. Lack of paper documents supporting the sale and
send the purchased products, this may raise the
question of the obligations of contracting parties
in laws, and which are still focusing on the
priority of writing and written documents in
proof.
13. There are cultural factors, especially the Arab
society may play a main prominent role in
making the most of electronic commerce
transactions take place between companies
between companies, and not between companies
and individuals, as to go out shopping may be
fun only for Arab women under the domination
of the social barriers that limit women's freedom,
and this desire to go out threatening e-commerce
[20].
VI. The challenges of e-commerce
regionally and locally
The obstacles to the development of electronic
commerce in the Arab countries in general, and Libya
in particular [23]can be identified as follows:
1. Lack of the presence of the Arab banks on the
web pages and non-issuance of credit cards.
2. Lack of awareness and the lack of awareness of
the importance and benefits of e-commerce for
individuals and businesses, as well as to the high
proportion of illiterates in the Arab nation, which
amounted to 38% by 2001 [24].
3. Arab governments did not adopt a strategy to
raise the level of information and
communications technology and their adoption
only handicrafts.
4. The fragility of the telecommunications
infrastructure in the Arab countries as the price is
still a very high cost of communications, in
6. M Othman El-fitouri Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com
ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 5, Issue 1( Part 1), January 2015, pp.102-115
www.ijera.com 107|P a g e
addition to other issues, most notably the
weakness of the Internet, and the unavailability
of telephone lines as required.
5. The absence of appropriate legal infrastructure
and the legislation is the biggest obstacle in the
development of electronic commerce in Arab
countries, in particular with regard to the
regulation of banking transfers or protection or to
the prevention of fraud, piracy and the theft of
electronic.
6. Despite the availability of the possibility of the
development and design of the programs in most
Arab countries, but so far have not been taking
advantage of the huge potential in the
development of information and communication
technology sectors.
7. The absence of transparency and some Arab
government‟s put some restrictions on dealing
over the Internet, mostly for security reasons, it
is difficult to the presence of data on national
income and tracking income on the Internet, as
well as fears of the emergence of electronic
money and its spread resulting in facilitating
money-laundering operations, thereby preventing
the Central Government control on the
circulation currency, for the purpose of
controlling the money supply, if the private
companies expanded issuing the electronic
money [24].
8. The Internet suffers from the lack of security
issues; this may be exploited by some pirates.
9. Reduction in the number of workers and
employees, because of the use of the Internet
leads to higher unemployment rates [24].
Based on the above discussion of the previous
studies related to direct and indirect nature of the
problem of the study, the hypothesis of the study can
be formulated as follows
„There is a significant statistical relationship
between obstacles affecting the implementationof
e-commerce and the level of use of e-commerce in
companies (industrial and commercial) in Libya‟.
VII. Methodology of the study
Descriptive analytical was selected because the
objectives of this study focused on the relationship
between the obstacles affecting the implementationof
e-commerce and the use of e-commerce in companies
(industrial and commercial) in Libya. The study
relied on two types of data which are:
7.1. Secondary data
Preliminary data have been collected in the field
through the list of the survey, which has been
prepared on the basis of the findings of the results of
previous studies to measure the variables in order to
determine the variables to be measured and the
special constraints affecting the implementationof e-
commerce and the level of use of e-commerce in
companies (industrial and commercial) in Libya
included a list of questions on the two sections. The
first section is general information about the type of
activity of the company and the age of the company.
The second section focuses on the obstaclesof the
implementationof e-commerce and the use of
electronic commerce. In this section,Likert scale with
5-point was used.
7.2. The sample of study
The list of the companies was obtained from the
records of the commercial register offices in the
Ministry of economy. The sample size was
determined by the equation were selected from the
previous studies by stratified random sample, where
the sample size was 400 single stationed in the cities,
(Tripoli, Sabha). Data were collected from the study
targeted research in the period of time between
March 2012 and October 2012.
7.3. Analysis and discussion of the results
The sample answers were coded to the
questionnaire and entered into the statistical program
SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences)
and statistical program Exel then appropriate
statistical methods were used based on the nature of
the data to achieve the aims of the
study,wherestandard deviation, covariance,the
percentage of labs, Cronbach's Coefficient
alpha,andfinallyPearson test were used.
7.4. Test the validity and reliability of the data
collection
The study adopted the report of the validity and
reliability of the tool on the sincerity of arbitrators,
where the tool in its initial wording has been
displayed on the number of arbitrators in some
Libyan universities and on professionals with
experience and competence and then revised in the
final wording. From the analysis of the data, the
response rate was 80% of the total valid
questionnaires collected for analysis.
VIII. Results and Discussion
8.1. The stability of the questionnaire
The reliability coefficient questionnaire was
calculated using alpha coefficient Cronbach
(Chronback Alpha), where the value of the
coefficient alpha Cronbach of the reliability
coefficient was 0.938% and its high reliability
coefficient, implying a high degree of stability and
the health of the answers of respondents, and thus
achieved the stability and consistency is acceptable
for the purpose of scientific study, and the following
table shows the value of coefficient alpha.

79.07% and conducting international
communications by 75. 84 %.It is observed from
analysis that lower relative importance to exchange
documents and contracts electronically ranked by
59.25% in comparisonto previous items.
Therefore, the previous results confirm that the
Libyan companies practiced the e-commerce
techniques only by sending and receiving e-mail and
access to the latest news and information. This result
is consistent with the study [26] which revealed the
reality of the implementationof e-commerce in small
industrial plants with small with identifying the most
important factors affecting them, which indicated that
more areas of e-commerce used by the study
population is (sending and receiving e-mail, access to
the latest news and information, search for new
customers, provide detailed information about the
company and its products).On the other hand, the
areas of e-commerce were less used by the
population of the study consisted of (attend
conferences through video, advertising, search for
new partners and conduct international
communications). This result is consistent with the
study conducted by[22], which aimsto evaluate the
development of e-marketing in Yemen companies,
where it reached that there are weaknesses in Yemeni
companies dealing in e-marketing and is limited to
the use of e- mail to exchange information with
suppliers.And this also consistent with a study
conducted by [27], which focused on identifying the
areas of the use of e-marketing in the Libyan oil
companies, and has shown its limitations in terms
ofusing of e-mail and website to view the products
and data about the company activity, as well as
customer contact.
From the previous result, it can be reached to achieve
one of the objectives of the study which seeks to
identify the level of the use of e- commerce
techniques practiced by Libyan companies.
8.3. Obstacles totheimplementation and use of
electronic commerce in Libyan companies
In order to identify obstacles to the
implementation and use of electronic commerce, the
arithmetic mean and standard deviation and relative
importance of the answers of the study sample were
used and Table 5 shows the results of the study

From Table 5 it can be noted that relative
percentages and the arithmetic average of the answers
of respondents indicate that the absence of systems
security and confidentiality of information on the
Internet has the largest effect on e- commerce by
83.85%, followed by non-habitual consumer on this
kind of trade by 83.29%, and then followed by The
absence of laws and legislation regulating the
electronic commerce, which contributesby 82.67%,
and lack of Libyans for a Culture of use of credit
cards by up to 76.89%. From Table 5, Is was noted
that consumer preference for buying through
traditional shops where it came in fifth place with
76.77%, while the lack of training programs on e-
commerce have a percentage of 76.71%, as well as it
can be seen from Table 5 that the decline in the
relative importance of the high costs of
implementation and the failure of the experience of
the implementation of e-commerce in some
companies have a little percentage of effect on the
implementation of e-commerce compared to the other
previous elements.
Through previous results, it can be noted that the
result is logical, because the success of e-commerce
cannot be achieved with the absence of systems
security and confidentiality of information and with
the absence of laws and regulations governing e-
commerce. In addition to that, the success of e-
commerce cannot be achieved by the lack of training
programs on e-commerce and with the weakness of
the information infrastructure in Libya, besides, the
scarcity of human resources needed to deal with the
modern technology.These results are consistent with
several previous studies, where the study conducted
by [28]shows that the absence of security systems
and confidential information on the Internet are
animportantobstacle effect on e-commerce
implementation in United Arab Emirates. The results
are alsoconsistentwith the study made by[29], which
found that companies in developing countries are
facing many challenges for the use and exploitation
of e-commerce.
These results are also consistent with the study
made by [30]on obstacles to the implementationof e-
commerce in Libyan commercial banks. The results
of this study indicated that there are many obstacles
that hinder the implementationof e-commerce in
Libyan commercial banks, such as the absence of
laws and legislation regulating the electronic
commerce, as well as the absence of security and
confidentiality of the information on the Internet and
the weakness of the information infrastructure in
Libya.
It is noted that there are other studies did not
address the infrastructure among the factors of the
success of e-commerce, including studies made by
[31-33]. These studies have been done in some of the
countries of Europe and America, where the
development of the infrastructure in these countries,
but they focused on the topics of confidence and
security. However, in most of the developing
countries, the infrastructure, laws, and legislation are
still the main factors hindering the growth and
success of e-commerce.
From the previous result, the objectives of this
study can be achieved, which identify the most
important obstacles facing the implementationof e-
commerce (technological, legal, human, and
organizational) in Libyan companies (industrial and
commercial).
From previous results, we can move to test the
validity or deny of the hypothesis of the study.
8.4. Test the hypothesis of the study
The hypothesis of the study states that
„There is a statistically significant relationship
between the obstacles affecting the
implementationofe-commerce and the use of
electronic commerce in companies (industrial-
commercial) in Libya‟.
To test this hypothesis, simple linear correlation
coefficient (Pearson) was used in order to determine
the level of the relationship between the obstacles
affecting the implementationof e-commerce and the
use of e- commerce in the industrial and commercial
companies in Libya, as can be seen from Table 6.

Table (6) the results of the analysis of the
relationship between the obstacles affecting the
implementationof e-commerce and the use of e-
commerce in industrial and commercial companies in
Libya. The analysis shows that payment through
credit cards or electronic drafts come in first place,
while searching for different websites come in second
place, and providing detailed information about the
company and its products come in third place.As well
as, simple linear correlation coefficient was also used
to identify the level of the relationship between the
variables in terms of the degree of influence at the
level of significance (α = 0.05) or (α =0.01). The
results indicated that there is a very high correlation
(α =0.01) between the obstacles affecting the
implementationof e-commerce and the use of e-
commerce, according to the following terms.
1. Payment through credit cards or electronic drafts.
2. Searches for different websites.
3. Provide detailed information about the company
and its products.
4. Sell the company's products through the site or
through electronic markets.
5. Provide enough information about the goods.
6. Conduct international communications
7. The exchange of documents and contracts
electronically.
8. Find enough information about competitors
The results also pointed out that there is a high
correlation(α = 0.05)between the obstacles affecting
the implementation of e- commerce and the use of e-
commerce, according to the following terms:
1. The announcement of the company's
products
2. Access to the latest news and information
3. Send and receive e-mail
The results also indicated that there is no
relationship between obstacles affecting the
implementationof e-commerce and the use of e-
commerce, for the remaining terms.
Based on the above discussion, the hypothesis of
the study can be accepted, which states that 'There is
a statistically significant relationship between the
obstacles affecting the implementationof e-commerce
and the use of e- commerce in the industrial and
commercial companies in Libya'.
The analysis results indicated that there is a very
high correlation (α =0.01) between the obstacles
affecting the implementationof e-commerce and the
use of e- commerce, according to the following
terms.
4. Payment through credit cards or electronic drafts.
5. Searches for different websites.
6. Provide detailed information about the company
and its products.
7. Sell the company's products through the site or
through electronic markets.
8. Provide enough information about the goods.
9. Conduct international communications
10. The exchange of documents and contracts
electronically.
11. Find enough information about competitors
The analysis results also indicated that there is a
high correlation (α =0. 05), according to the
following terms:
1. The announcement of the company's
products
2. Access to the latest news and information
3. Send and receive e-mail
From previous results, it is clearthat the obstacles
have a very high correlation and influential role in the
level of use of e-commerce and the evidence for that
is indicated by the results of the field study at two
levels (α = 0.01) and (α =0.05) or most of the terms.
The remaining terms have no effect on the level of

use of e-commerce. They have counterproductive in
other obstacles. The study found that whenever the
Libyan companies were able to overcome the
difficulties and impediments to the implementationof
e-commerce, the greater the level of use of e-
commerce in these companies and vice versa.
This result is logical and consistent with many
previous studies such as [33], which revealed the
effect of the level of confidence in the use of e-
commerce, and the presence of a significant
correlation between the confidence and the level of
use of e-commerce. This study also consistent with a
study made by [34], which indicated its results to link
of the obstacles facing the institutions of the role of
the publishing and distribution of Arab, and which
prevent the implementation of e-commerce. In
addition to that, this study also consistent with a
study made by [27], which pointed out that the
correlation coefficient in its results to a positive
correlation between the variable of confidence and
security, and the use of e-marketing, the greater the
degree of confidence in electronic dealing, whenever
led to greater use of e-marketing.
This study also consistent with a study
conducted by [30] which focused on the
identification of the reality of the implementationof
e-commerce and to identify the main obstacles to the
implementationof e-commerce in the Libyan
commercial banks. The most important results of the
study indicated that there is a need to accelerate the
implementationof e-commerce to take advantage of
the benefits that can be achieved if applied, and the
emphasis on the need for many of the ingredients
(requirements), and increase the attention of the
implementationof e-commerce in the Libyan
commercial banks in order to increase the level of use
of e- commerce in the Libyan commercial banks.
IX. Contributions of the study
The present study supports the knowledge in e-
commerce as the theoretical contribution to disclose
the relationship between the obstacles of the
implementationof e-commerce and the levels of use
of e- commerce,whereas, the contribution in terms of
management represented in clarifying the elements of
the implementationof e-commerce in industrial and
commercial companies where:
1. The results showed that the marketing of
products which represents the marketing through
personal selling is the most widely used,
followed by marketing through exhibitions, and
then followed by television marketing in the
third place. And the results showed that low use
of e-marketing in the marketing of the products
from the companies with commercial and
industrial activities.
2. With regard to the obstacles facing the study
sample and the optimum implementationof e-
commerce, the study presented firstly, the
absence of security systems and confidential
information on the Internet. Secondly, lack of
familiarity with the consumer this type of trade
exchange. Thirdly, the absence of laws and
legislation of e-commerce. Next, lack of Libyans
for a Culture of credit cards. Fifthly, the
consumer is preference for buying through the
traditional stores or shops. Sixthly, lack of
training programs for e-commerce. In addition to
the high cost of communications and slow
internet networks as well as the shortcomings of
the qualification of human cadres, including
serves the goal of growth of e-commerce.
X. Concluding remarks
Based on the results of this study, this study
suggests some recommendations, which contributes
at least partially overcome the problems and
obstacles that prevent the implementationof e-
commerce effectively in various types of Libyan
companies. It will also help official bodies in the
development of strategies and projects leading to the
spread of information and communication technology
in Libya, the most prominent of these Libyan
recommendations and proposals as follows:
1. Development of appropriate legislation to the
requirements of e-commerce locally and
internationally,andelectronic security and safety

communications and software industry and
facilitating the conditions of participation in the
international information network, and the lifting
of the scientific and technical competence of the
staff.
4. Communications and Web design companies
must reduce the cost for enterprises used e-
commerce so that they can develop their
potential.
5. In order to reach the largest amount of users
must, Arabic language must be added to the
localize foreign websites on the international
information network (Internet) in order to use the
network on a large scale, which facilitates the
growth of e-marketing process and the
subsequent services.
6. Encourage and stimulate the banking sector to
enter the field of e-banking services to facilitate

commerce, so that it must be interested with all
the latest developments in the area of electronic
transactions and promotion incentives and
providing the subsidies for small and medium-
sized enterprises to practice e-commerce.
8. The Parties dealing with e-commerce should be
directed towards starting small business
transactions in order to increase confidence
among customers and dealers and reduce the
level of risk, so that the size of those transactions
can be increased gradually commensurate with
the degree gain confidence.
