TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

1. Current Reading and Class Reports

Each student is asked to find six articles during the semester in a current periodical (described as no more than one-year old) on e-commerce. They are to read the article and summarize it in the equivalent of one double-spaced typewritten page minimum. They are also asked to include the title of the article, name of the periodical, date and page number. On the day indicated they may be asked to give a brief report on the article during class.

2. Case studies

These cases are written summaries or syntheses of real-life cases, based upon data and research. They require students working in groups to isolate and think through the key issues involved against both theory and the larger comparative environment. The scope is to identify appropriate strategies for the resolution of the 'case', weigh the pros and cons of the remedial options/ strategies and recommend and present a rationale for the best resolution.

3. E-commerceProject

The project requires forming a team and electing a leader. Give special tasks to your team members (each with a selected executive title, such as CEO, CIO, CFO, CTO, CMO, etc.) and present your group in class. The group must select an online-industry and brainstorm e-business ideas to work on. Develop your "elevator pitch." Present and defend your unique value proposition and competitive advantages in class. (5 minutes) Discuss high-level business positioning and revenue model. Obtain approval from the professor to start building your e-business model. Post and turn in a PPT for your presentation.

Progress Report: Study the business models of the best companies in your selected industry and understand their e-business strategies; develop a business model for your e-business idea. Explain and defend the competitive advantage and revenue model of your e-business in detail.

Final Project Report: The final Paper must be a presentation to the potential investors of your business. Refine all elements of your e-business model, detail revenue stream analysis including cost-benefit analysis of your entire e-business system. Report should include a separate section on website prototype design and implementation.
