Over deze cursus
The E-Business course addresses the business structure for electrionic business, as well as the related technology support of e-business. The focus is on inter-organizational business operation in which information and communication technology is an enabling factor. E-commerce, most significantly business-to-business e-commerce, is an important category of e-business in this respect. The first part of this course follows the BOAT framework to place e-business elements in perspective, distinguishing the business, organizational, architecture and technology aspects of e-business scenarios. These can be placed in a demand pull or technology push context. For the business and organization aspects, attention is paid to e-business paradigms like dynamic service outsourcing and highly dynamic supply chains. A pivotal point in this course is the architecture aspect of the framework, covering the mapping of organization architectures to information system and technology class architectures. Attention is paid to architecture and technology standards in the e-business field. Important technology classes are placed into perspective and essential characteristics are discussed. In the second part of the course, the BOAT framework is complemented by techniques for business model design and data-driven business design, applied in e-business scenarios. The emphasis of the course is on the analysis and design of complex e-business structures, using well-organized models and techniques. This emphasis is reflected in the group assignments to be completed by the students enrolled in this course, which are based on these models and techniques.
