Abstract

The Guayaquil Stock Exchange developed a Web site to provide information about the market in Ecuador. Though the system provided some dynamic information for potential investors and allowed for some transactions to occur via the Internet, it had not at the time of the case been able to support on-line trading. The case explores the usefulness of the site in the context of an emerging market.
