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.
Some reading assignments will be taken from the course textbook, Trust and Risk
in Internet Commerce, by L. Jean Camp (MIT
Press, 2000). A preliminary online version
is available. This course was taught in Spring 2001 and Fall 2001. The lecture notes, reading
assignments, homeworks, and exams are available at the
Spring 2001 website and
Fall 2001 website. The class will be slightly different this semester;
use these old materials for background information only. Jump to:
