I am pleased to release this report, The Emerging Digital Economy, which continues the work initiated last year by President Clinton and Vice President Gore when they released the Administration's Framework for Global Electronic Commerce. In the Framework, they set forth their vision of the future of electronic commerce and the increasingly important role it will play in the global economy, in business, in government, and in our personal lives. The President and Vice President established a set of principles and identified a series of policy challenges that, if met, will lead to the realization of much of the promise that electronic commerce holds for all Americans and the world. This report provides us with a clearer understanding of what that promise is -- a future with more opportunity and prosperity. It establishes a clear link among electronic commerce and information technology and our economic future. The report also provides us with a snapshot of the many innovative ways that businesses of all sizes and from all sectors of the economy are using these technologies to extract greater efficiencies and create new opportunities. Much work remains to be done in order to further our understanding of the emerging digital economy and how electronic commerce and information technologies will be put to use as we enter the next century. Government and the private sector must continue to closely examine the implications of electronic commerce and information technologies in order to make the right policy and business decisions. Consumers and workers must grasp the benefits that are already materializing. We must all work to ensure that these technologies are available to those in our society who are striving to join us at the table of economic prosperity. William M. Daley U.S. Secretary of Commerce
