No individual textbook covers all aspects of the unit in sufficient detail, hence, reading widely is a requirement. Due to rapid change in this emerging field of study, information regarding electronic commerce issues, processes and technologies quickly becomes dated. Part of the learning experience is to encourage teams of students to collaborate and begin to develop the skills to access and integrate a wide range of resource materials. These include on-line search indexes and databases that will be able to be accessed by all class members.

As a starting point, a comprehensive list of references (including recommended texts, journals, periodicals and articles) can be found at the Centre for Electronic Commerce home page at http://www-cec.buseco.monash.edu.au. Many are drawn from the Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, The McKinsey Quarterly, Electronic Commerce World, MIS Quarterly and Journal of Strategic Information Systems.

Selected readings for each module, made up of relevant and contemporary articles, will be included in printed copies of the unit materials available to students.
