John R. Drake, East Carolina University

Overview


eCommerce: A Stakeholder Approach explores the various stakeholders and work roles central to e-commerce design.


Through analysis of the concerns of the manager, user, marketer, and the IT professional, students will develop an appreciation of key decisions. They’ll also explore how design theory, the strategic alignment of IT and business, the sales funnel, and systems development all interact with each other.


Exploration of the challenges facing the systems analyst, the SEO specialist, the analytics specialist, and the security professional further enables students to delve into the complexity and trade-offs involved in real-world website and e-commerce design.
