| dc.description.abstract | Postmodern time has transformed the world status of affairs in doing business,
perceiving and conceiving law in society today. One of the key challenges is the strategic
shift from the use of analogue to digital means of transacting business. It is a fact that
business behaviour has evolved from man in the cave to man of the computer rendering the
world order more efficient. The more we appreciate technology and historic scientific
discoveries the more we get into various challenges. New media have brought along new
crimes such as, cybercrimes, internet, or computer crimes. Now that many people are hyperconnected
in cyberspace, a reality that is becoming increasingly busier, people are
interacting freely in carrying out their affairs online. Use of computer is no longer a privilege
for the elite who gather to disseminate information but an open space for doing real business.
Consequently, this comes with a price to pay, namely, new financial offences such as online
fraud. The author is interested in exploring how e-commerce is changing behaviour of
business in Kenya today. The discussant is pre-empting legal implications of the e-commerce
and how law and policy makers should promptly respond | en_US |
