System Development and Management Methodology in Teaching E-Commerce Technology

While many business schools developed programs or courses on e-commerce, there is a need for a course that truly focuses on the technology. Specifically, the course should address the knowledge of tools, techniques, and developmental methodology of e-commerce systems. In this paper, we address the developmental methodology for an e-commerce technology course. We focus on the development of an infrastructure and management of an e-commerce application development environment. We also discuss a systems development methodology that addresses both the business and technology aspects of e-commerce.
