This course focuses on understanding (1) how information technology has created a fertile ground for the emergence of commerce on the Internet, (2) what institutional parameters are required to form an efficient market for commerce on the Internet to flourish, (3) how firms are using the Internet to reconstruct their value chain and create/sustain competitive advantage, and (4) how the new electronic medium will affect key international dimensions of trade, foreign direct investment, and alliance formation.

Group Semester Project--Strategies and tactics

This is a hands-on project typical of what students will face in their careers as marketing managers. Students apply the strategies and tactics of Internet marketing discussed in class to develop an online/integrated marketing strategy to boost a website's visibility and success in the global marketplace.

Students complete marketing research assessments for the selected company/website and recommend an appropriate digital integrated marketing strategy for entering/expanding the regional/national/global brand as appropriate.

Students then execute the strategies and tactics they have proposed to build website traffic. By monitoring the effectiveness of their content, search engine, pay per click and design strategies through site usage statistics, students are able to adjust, change and fine-tune their strategies to maximize traffic and create stickiness.

Students report a favorable reception of the experience from corporate interviewers during job interviews.
