Course Description
Our human history has been characterized by the primary tools humans have been utilizing (e.g. stone age, bronze age, etc.) in each era. Our current era will be very likely characterized as an information technology (IT) age. Especially, with the wide availability of global information networks such as the Internet, we are truly facing a new set of challenges and opportunities in transforming business processes and creating a new business environment.
To understand a newly created set of rules in a new business environment, it is immensely critical to understand the underlying forces of these changes. Fundamentally, there are two technologies we need to grasp in order to understand and create appropriate business strategies: computers and communication technologies. More specifically, understanding of the Internet as an infrastructure of new businesses is crucial from the business perspective as well as technology. In this class, we will explain the technology parts of the Internet and then discuss their business implications as well as strategic issues.
