It is generally recognised that the path to sustained growth in e-commerce business in Scotland is not simply a matter of the supply of relevant training or of the level and amount of advice and support for companies. What is required is business recognising the potential that lies in e-commerce for their own growth and through demand for relevant and up to date training stimulating the education and training sector to respond with appropriate courses and qualifications. For this to happen there needs to be a more responsive education and training system, and a means of supporting business along the path of adoption of innovation in their operations.
