Here are a few Internet Technology Rules that will guide the course structure:

Rule
 
Rule 1    
Technology is no longer an afterthought in formulating business strategy, but the actual cause and the driver.
Rule 2

The ability to streamline the structure, influence, and control of the flow of information is dramatically more powerful
and cost-effective than moving and manufacturing physical products.

Rule 3Inability to overthrow the dominant, outdated business design often leads to business failure.
Rule 4

The goal of new business designs is to create flexible outsourcing alliances between companies that not only off-load
costs, but also make customers ecstatic.

Rule 5
E-commerce is enabling companies to listen to their customers and become either "the cheapest", "the most familiar"
or "the best."
Rule 6
Don't use technology just to create the product.  Use technology to innovate, entertain, and enhance the entire
experience surrounding the product, from selection, and ordering to receiving and services.
Rule 7
The business design of the future increasingly uses reconfigurable e-business community models to best meet
customers' needs.
Rule 8
The tough task for management is to align business strategies, processes, and applications fast, right, and all at once.
Strong leadership is imperative.

 

There is a realization facing many businesses today that technology, primarily internet based technology, is growing at a hyperactive
pace.  The"e-economy" is forcing business owners and decision makers to keep a  constant eye on the horizon in terms of market
trends, technology, market conditions, and customer needs.

The method of continuos planning in an e-business world consists of:

  • Knowledge building and capability evaluation:  Develop a clear understanding of what capabilities you need in
    order to address the identified customer needs.
  • Develop a comprehensive e-business design:  Developing the competency that lays the foundations to address the
    customer needs.
  • E-Business Blueprint:  Provides the vital link between the e-business design, the business goals, and the technology
    foundation.  It maps the projects and performance milestones that must be achieved.
  • Application Development and Deployment:  Translates the key milestones and projects in to integrated applications.
