6) Placing orders (Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics)
All businesses were asked to indicate if they placed orders via the Internet or web. An order is defined as a commitment to purchase goods or services, whether or not payment is made via the Internet or web.
The proportion of all businesses that placed orders via the Internet or web during 2006-07 was 40%.
The likelihood of a business placing orders for goods or services via the Internet or web increased for each successive employment size range. For example, the proportion of businesses with 200 or more persons that reported placing orders via the Internet or web was more than double that of businesses with 0-4 persons (69% and 34%, respectively).
