Introduction to Electronic Commerce. Emphasis on Internet business. Underlying technological developments. Business models. Legal, social, and political implications.
Computers, communication networks, and a wide variety of newer, rapidly developing technologies are an increasingly important part of the ways in which individuals, companies and organizations of all kinds conduct business. These technological changes present challenges that must be faced not only by techologists but also by lawyers, policy-makers, economists, entrepreneurs, ethicists, and many other stakeholders. Potential topics to be addressed from both technical and non-technical points of view include but are not limited to:
No formal course pre-requisites other than computer literacy and Internet literacy. Non-science majors are welcome.
This course was taught in Spring 2001. The lecture notes, reading assignments, homeworks, and exams are available at the Spring 2001 website. Note that certain aspects of the course will be different this semester; in particular, there will be a final exam instead of a final paper/project, and there will be some change of reading assignments and emphasis.
