Maggie Tan Associate Research Director, IDC Malaysia
Analyst Quote The economic situation in the last 2 years have been challenging for the local emarketplaces to sustain growth. With government support and the urgency to find alternative avenues for more effecient business transactions, IDC expects progress in the later half of 2002 to 2003. To achieve that, local emarketplaces should focus less on cost-saving theories but instead provide value-added services.
