What is the correct dash usage when naming a title?
I have an essay with the title:
The success factors for successful e-commerce - A Linux-based e-commerce platform from an economic perspective
What is the correct dash usage between e-commerce and A Linux...?
And should there be a space between e and A?

Neither; it should be an em-dash or a colon. A hyphen is used to connect a compound (a must-read book, Linux-based) and an en-dash connects a range of numbers (1966–69). I prefer the colon if you must have a subtitle. If you use the em-dash, I prefer spaces around it, but that's up to the house style of where you're publishing.
Also, titles should be in title case.

I don't understand your second question, as there is nowhere in the title where e is next to A.
