e-Commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services online. This e-Commerce in Retailing course responds to a changing retail landscape that is influenced by digital and social media. It was developed in the context of the impact on retailing of social, mobile, analytic and cloud (SMAC) technologies, the demand for graduates equipped to work in a connected, collaborative electronic retailing environment, and the need for retail graduates with advanced social media, platform, and design skills.
