    E-commerce is the new buzz word. With the advent of the Internet, the development of e-commerce in both the developed and developing economies has developed at a rapid pace. Developing countries such as Malaysia are catching up fast as there are already 1.2 million Internet users. The private sector and the Government have taken initiatives to implement e-commerce. Physical and legal infrastructure for e-commerce in Malaysia have been put in place. The rapid adoption of e-commerce in the developing economies in general and Malaysia in particular has been made possible by the rapid development and high investment in communication technology and infrastructure, cheaper cost of computers and software as well as the availability of IT manpower. In Malaysia, the establishment of the Multimedia Super Corridor and the provision of IT training at local institutions of higher learning will accelerate the application of e-commerce. Furthermore, the development of e-commerce in Malaysia is in line with the country's long-term strategy to develop a competitive economy based on the K-economy concept. The recent Bank Negara Malaysia's approval for domestic banking institutions to offer Internet banking services with effect from June 2000 will boost the development of e-commerce in Malaysia.…

    Purpose – This paper seeks to investigate the influence of government and foreign affiliates, particularly; multinational companies on corporate social reporting (CSR) development in an economy, where CSR awareness is low coupled with weak pressure group activism. Design/methodology/approach – This is a cross sectional study that focuses on the information contained in the annual reports for year 2002/2003. This research uses content analysis as method to measure the extent CSR. Findings – Based on regression analysis, the study evidences on the impact of government influence. However, the impact of foreign affiliation variables is not evident. Institutionalisation of the government’s aspirations and commitment to CSR is perhaps the most appropriate description for Malaysian CSR practice. Research limitations/implications – There are two main limitations of this study. Firstly, this study examines the annual reports for one year. Secondly, this study is annual reports centric. It does not examine any other stand alone reports that the respondents might have produced on the subject of society and the environment. Practical implications – This study provides justification for government’s role in promoting CSR practice. The impact is evidenced although there are no direct concerted efforts at that time by the government in respect of CSR policy implementation. The significant role is attributed to the unique Malaysian socio economic structure. Originality/value – This study contributes to the CSR literature particularly in the context of…
