Electronic Business Certificate

A new model for business (e-Business) is taking shape that is built on the world's largest communications network, the Internet. The Internet has opened up new possibilities for organizing and running a business and is changing the way businesses transact goods and services. The Internet creates a global platform for buying and selling goods and is used for redesigning business processes within organizations. As businesses invest in the commercialization of the Internet/WWW, there is an enormous need from a variety of fronts to understand the implications for strategic initiatives, marketing and advertising, financial markets, information systems strategy, human resource management, supply chain management and legal issues. A certificate program in e-Business is designed for students to learn how organizations can use Internet technology to create new business opportunities and how they can transform an existing business into an e-Business.
