This course introduces students to e-commerce concepts within the framework of e-business. Students will examine how businesses can benefit from using e-commerce, the strategies used to conduct business online, the technologies utilized, and the importance of e-commerce integration within an organization. Legal, ethical, taxation and security issues will be examined from the viewpoint of recognizing and controlling areas of risk in e-commerce. All concepts examined will be put into context through the creation of a working “shopping chart” application for use on a website.
