The course provides students with an in-depth introduction to the field of e-commerce. It focuses on concepts that will help you understand and take advantage of the evolving world of opportunity offered by e-commerce, which is dramatically altering the way business is conducted and driving major shifts in the global economy. |
The course emphasizes the three major driving forces behind e-commerce: business development and strategy, technological innovations, and social controversies and impacts. Each of these driving forces is represented in every lesson and book's chapter, and together they provide a strong and coherent conceptual framework for understanding e-commerce. |
The course is organized into four parts. Part 1 , “Introduction to E-commerce,” provides an introduction to the major themes of the book. Part 2 , “Technology Infrastructure for E-commerce,” focuses on the technology infrastructure that forms the foundation for all e-commerce. Part 3 , “Business Concepts and Social Issues,” focuses directly on the business concepts and social-legal issues that surround the development of e-commerce. Part 4 , “E-commerce in Action,” focuses on real-world e-commerce experiences in retail and services, online media, auctions, portals, and social networks, and business-to-business e-commerce. |
