e-Business (EBZ)The spread of ubiquitous computing and the Internet has created tremendous opportunities for new services and new ways of doing almost everything. New business models are emerging in startups, and in existing companies struggling to survive. To prepare students to thrive in this tempestuous environment, a new kind of undergraduate business education was needed. A distinct ebusiness
program reflecting the new organizational structures and modes of interaction of the new network economy is of great value to graduates joining new and existing companies. As a distinct specialization under the TOM Department, e-business (EBZ) has the potential to streamline business systems and save operating costs. It uses Internet-centered technology in business activities, both internally (such as real-time inventory control) and externally (online marketing and sales). What is e-business? The "e" in e-business stands for electronic network - the application of electronic network technology to relevant business processes to improve or change those processes. The "e" in e-business means the replacement of paper-based, human-agent based or telephone-based personal transaction with transactions over electronic networks. The networks could be proprietary networks, like EDI, or electronic fund transfer networks between companies, or Lotus Notes, or the internal networks embedded in ERP, or they could be the Internet or its cousins like extranets or intranets.
