E-BUSINESS @ SCHOOL - The Technology Adoption Advantage

Ratvinder Singh Grewal

2007

Abstract

eBusiness is an emerging interdisciplinary field combining commerce and computer science. Businesses that successfully implement technology often have an advantage, in streamlined internal and external data processing. The lack of graduates with eBusiness expertise able to successfully implement technology has created the need for a specialized programme. This paper shares the successes and challenges of being one of the first programmes in Canada to implement an eBusiness Science undergraduate programme.
