Overview: This course covers the theoretical foundations,
implementation problems, and research issues of the emerging area of electronic commerce.
It discusses technological, conceptual and methodological aspects of electronic commerce.
The course format combines lectures, seminar presentations and classroom discussions.
The course will utilize the Blackboard online facilities, which
can be found at:
https://blackboard.newark.rutgers.edu/bin/common/course.pl?course_id=_57204_1
Coursework: The coursework includes presentations of research
articles, in-class discussions, and a final course project researching one of the problems of
electronic commerce. All after hours communications related to this course are expected to be conducted
over the Internet.
Every student is required to study and briefly summarize in writing
ALL required articles for every lecture, and post the summaries to the appropriate
Blackboard forum before the beginning of each class.
Every student will be assigned ONE of the required articles to prepare
an extended summary (about two pages long) as well as a class presentation of the article.
Both the extended summary and the presentation should also be posted to the appropriate
Blackboard forum before the beginning of each class. One of the students (chosen
randomly during the class) has to present the article in class.
All students have to participate in discussing the presented articles and be
prepared to (possibly) replace the main discussant. Extended summaries and presentations
of additional readings can be prepared for extra credit.
It is absolutely essential
to start working on the course research project as soon as possible. Every student
is required to prepare a three page long proposal for the course research project, and
submit this proposal for instructor's evaluation by March 12, 2009.
The course research project should be
prepared in the form of a term paper, and presented during the last meeting of the class
on April 30, 2009.
Both the research paper and the presentation should also be posted to the appropriate
Blackboard forum before the last meeting of the class.
For examples of term papers done by students in the previous years, see final projects Blackboard forums following the
link below:
Blackboard Forums
Grading: The presentations of articles, the course project and
the final exam will provide the basis for the course grade:
