NBA 6010 - Electronic Commerce

Spring. 3 credits.

L. Orman.

Electronic commerce, the use of information technology in conducting economic transactions and managing businesses over computer networks, has captured public attention because of its wide-ranging implications for businesses, markets, public institutions, and the general public. Electronic commerce involves a wide variety of cooperating technologies (e.g., communications, networks, databases, expert systems, and multimedia) and affects a wide variety of managerial issues. It created a new emphasis on information technologies and systems in management; led to the development of new technologies and new combinations of existing technologies to support management; and occasionally radically altered business practices and the role of management. Students in this course learn to conduct economic transactions and manage businesses on the Internet. All major technical and managerial issues are covered through computer exercises on the Internet and case studies and examples of businesses on the Internet.
