e-Business - Introduction

e-business is everywhere. Most newspapers and magazines carry articles about the hottest new idea for conducting commerce over the Internet. But what is the truth behind the e-business world? How does it operate? How and why does a business go on-line?

As e-commerce increasingly creeps into all facets of everyday life we need to understand how e-business evolved, the technologies and business models that drive it, the threat it poses to traditional business models, and how it is likely to grow in the future. In this course  we aim to provide an answer to these questions and to develop a fuller understanding of e-business opportunities.

Modules

Lesson 1: HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET AND E-BUSINESS

An historical background to the technologies and business models that have arisen over the past several decades to arrive at the e-business infrastructure that we have today.
 
Lesson 2: DEFINING E-BUSINESS

A detailed definition of e-business, in terms of how transactions are conducted.
 
Lesson 3: E-BUSINESS VERSUS TRADITIONAL BUSINESS MODELS

How existing businesses are being threatened by electronic transactions and the e-business models that have grown up around them.
 
Lesson 4: DRIVERS FOR CHANGE

The drivers for organisations to consider embracing e-business, and taking a high-level view of where e-business concepts can be applied within business processes.
 
Lesson 5: LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

A brief look at the future of e-business in terms of new business models, the role of new technologies and the changing global economic situation.

I'd had a full afternoon of looking at…

I'd had a full afternoon of looking at the course I was interested in and found it was a minefield which my brain was having an issue with lol. Eventually I found and went throu Learn Directs page but I was still uncertain and eventually used the talk facility which was answered by Callam. He answered all of my questions quickly and efficiently and as my questions became more in depth he suggested we talk on the phone which I agreed to. I am so glad I did as Callum had a wealth of information about the courses I was interested in. There was no pressure and assisted really well in choosing the right course for me. Because of his genuine interest, his breadth of knowledge and smashing telephone manner I signed up there and then and am looking forward to getting stuck in. As an older mature lady with much life experience this was an absolutely refreshing change. Thank you Callum

I had an excellent experience with Jarel Reyes

I had an excellent experience with Jarel Reyes throughout my enrolment process with Learn Direct. From the very beginning, he was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain every detail of the course thoroughly. Whenever I needed something repeated or had additional questions, he never hesitated to go over everything again with the same professionalism and positive attitude. Jarel's enthusiasm and genuine passion for helping students really stood out. He explained the benefits of the course clearly and honestly, making it easy to understand how it would meet my goals. More importantly, he built my confidence in both the course and the company by answering all of my concerns with transparency and care. So I want to say a big Thank You for Jarel’s outstanding support. I felt informed, valued, and confident in my decision to enrol. His excellent communication skills, patience, and dedication made the entire enrolment process smooth and stress-free.
