What an Information System is (why it matters)

  • No modern university/institution can operate without a system to:
    • Manage data
    • Manage institutional operations
  • This is why the course covers e-business and e-commerce:

E-commerce: definition and core process

  • E-commerce (electronic commerce) means performing commerce activities digitally.

    • Electronic transfer (e.g., transferring data/products between parties or platforms)
    • Exchanging products
    • Delivering/providing services
    • Sending information
  • E-commerce requires computer networking via the internet (not just a local desktop application).

Distinction: E-commerce vs E-business

  • E-commerce is narrower.
  • E-business is presented as a broader concept:
    • It covers business as a whole
    • Includes how an organization serves customers and integrates digital processes beyond online buying/selling

Digitalization / extension concept

  • The lecture explains conversion/extension from physical to digital, such as:

    • Reduced need for physical space and resources (space, rent, staffing, lighting, etc.)

    • Physical or digital
    • Delivered via physical or digital mechanisms
  • Large organizations aim for high digitalization, often starting with:
    • A website that assumes the online system effectively meets customer needs
