The strategic management principles that guide competition between established firms and enable the survival of new firms are explored in the context of e-business.

In addition to the above, you will cover regulation in the broader context of professional and ethical issues relevant to the use of information technology.

The business strategy of an organisation should be supported by Information Systems (IS) and Information Technology (IT) strategy. In order to achieve this developing IS should be part of an organisation¿s strategic planning. In the internet age the driving force behind E-Commerce is the data management systems.
