Electronic Content Production
Electronic Commerce, or e-Commerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services via electronic networks such as the Internet. Today, it encompasses a wide range of business activities and processes from e-banking to relationship management to e-supply chain management. The ever growing dependence of modern enterprises on virtual business processes drives the development of e-commerce applications, which enable and support these processes.
This course is designed to provide students with thorough knowledge of fundamental concepts and terminology. It also covers how applications and services address existing business needs. Case studies illustrate the underlying theory to provide students with an understanding of best practice and emerging opportunities in electronic publishing and advertising, electronic shopping and distribution.
