E-Business Management

E-Business Management Fundamentals

E-Business involves the transformation of traditional business processes or functions through the use of internet technologies.  A majority of today's organizations have Web-based integrated systems that span functional boundaries such as manufacturing, sales, accounting, finance and logistics. The demand for professionals with skills in the design, development and management of such technologies will always be high.

Professional Preparation

An undergraduate degree in E-Business Management will prepare you to pursue an exciting career as an information systems (IS) professional or to pursue graduate study or technology-specific certifications. E-Business Management is also an ideal dual major for students already majoring in areas such as Human Resource Management or Supply Chain/Operations Management.
