E-Business is the main driver for any business today. E-Business related tools, technologies, and applications have been rapidly changing over the last ten years. To be competitive in the market, e-business system users need to follow up the innovations and new industry developments in a timely manner. So, the aim of this assignment is to improve your industry based practical research skills as well as team based working and learning.
In this assignment, as future ICT professionals, you are required to research e-business systems related to new developments in the industry and prepare a presentation as a group of up to 3 members during the class time. You need to form your group in Week-3 and provide the group details to your local lecturer for confirmation. You also need to inform your lecturer about your proposed topic in Week-4 class for your group presentation. The group presentations will start in Week-6 and continue until Week-10.
