Electronic business

The course contains the following themes:
Introduction and basic definitions.
Short historical overview of the field.
Systemic view on e-business through its generic structures (internal and external logistic chains, their influence on decision making).
Technological views: EDI, XML, web services / cloud computing, component architectures, digital payment systems, new technological trends like semantic web, internet of things and mobile applications.
Organizational views (evolution of business functions and processes, new business models, auditing procedures ISO 27000).
Legislation views with emphasis on ZEPEP, ZEPEP-A, ZEKOM.
Specific views related to development and introduction of e-business systems (strategic planning changes, use of formal methods, and compliance with standards like Common Criteria).
Conclusions.
Addendum: Mini practical tasks covering the latest selected technological trends.

The objective of the course is to familiarize students with technological, organizational and legal knowledge that is required in e-business along with the latest trends in this area. The emphasis is on practical skills, i.e., students model a business (sub)process, develop a necessary e-business application and integrate it with the background information system.

Categorized competences:

• The ability to define, understand and solve creative professional challenges in computer and information science.
• The ability of professional communication in the native language as well as a foreign language.
• Compliance with security, functional, economic and environmental principles.
• The ability to understand and apply computer and information science knowledge to other technical and relevant fields (economics, organisational science, etc).
  -The ability to independently perform both less demanding and complex engineering and organisational tasks in certain narrow areas and independently solve specific well-defined tasks in computer and information science.

Knowledge and understanding:
Understanding of concepts of e-business and their integration with knowledge and skills obtained through other related courses.

Application:
Ability to develop, administer and manage e-business systems in organizations.

Reflection:
Understanding of theoretical concepts and their practical implementation through laboratory work.

Transferable skills:
Ability to integrate knowledge from various fields (and other courses) like information systems planning, information systems management, web applications development and mobile platforms. Further, stimulation of entrepreneurship’s mind-set and ability to communicate, work in teams, and public presentation of work.

Lectures, laboratory work (with practical prototype implementations), students’ presentations.
Attendance of laboratory work is mandatory (the exact percentage is announced at the beginning of a study year). The lecturer may also impose mandatory attendance of lectures as well.

Continuing (homework, midterm exams, project work)
Final (written and oral exam)

grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
