Abstract (Original Language): 
E-ticaret, 1990'lı yıllardan beri interneti kullanarak yapılan yeni bir alışveriş yoludur. Bu en son alışveriş şekli, bilgi teknolojilerindeki ilerlemelere dayanmaktadır. 1990'lı yıllarda Amazon ve eBay'in gibi şirketler alışveriş davranışlarını değiştirmeye başladılar. Bu araştırmada, 44 Sahra altı Afrika ülkesinin e-ticaret indeksi, Dünya Bankası Grubu tarafından yayınlanan Dünya Kalkınma Göstergeleri kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. E-ticaret indeksi elektriğe ulaşım, işletme başlangıç prosedürleri maliyeti, sabit geniş bant abonelikleri, internet kullanıcıları, cep hücresel abonelikleri ve güvenli İnternet sunucularından oluşur. Bu kombine endeksin, uluslararası e-ticaret için ülkelerin hazırlığını gösterdiği varsayılmakta ve İnsani Gelişme Endeksi (HDI) ile aralarındaki ilişkiyi tanımlamak için karşılaştırılmaktadır . Sonuç e-ticaret indeksi ile İnsani Gelişme Endeksi (HDI) arasında orta derecede pozitif bir korelasyon olduğunu göstermektedir.
