Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

The School of Business Systems requests approval to add IMS3280 Electronic commerce to the list of prohibitions for this unit.The intensive use of the Internet for commercial applications is evident, as hundreds of new commercial web sites are created everyday. The internet has increasingly taken roles as the enabling technology and the driver for many businesses: both in B2B and in B2C applications. Furthermore, a review of the Bachelor of Business Systems curriculum by the Industry Based Learning sponsors recommended that the school offer E-Commerce units.This unit will introduce students to the hardware and software systems for conducting online businesses. The unit coverage enables graduates to equip themselves with business and technology concepts in B2C Internet Commerce and prepare graduates with appropriate E-Business strategy and modelling, as well as basic implementation skills for Internet Commerce practice.The unit encourages students to explore new opportunities through online commerce. The offering of this unit also addresses the community and professional demand by equipping Monash graduates with required skills and knowledge in E-Commerce. All these are in accordance with the themes of Innovation, Engagement and Internationalisation enunciated in the Monash Plan. (Note: A similar unit has been successfully introduced since 2001 at postgraduate level: BUS5960).
