//For e-businesses that also require a physical infrastructure in the countries where they operate, large multinational firms that enter e-commerce with an existing global presence often have an advantage. They have resources to establish a physical base in each country of operation to maintain localized web sites. Smaller firms and firms new to the complexities of multinational commerce face more challenges in establishing an international presence.//
