E-Biz Consulting 101: Collaborating with Small Business on E-Commerce Projects
Abstract
While hiring companies continue to emphasize the importance of communication and team skills for new IT graduates, students emphasize their dislike for academic team projects. In an effort to make the team project a more interesting and valuable experience, our upper-division e-Commerce course includes the development of prototype e-commerce sites for actual businesses. Transferable consulting skills applied to real-world businesses have resulted in successful team experiences for the students and expanded horizons for the participating businesses. Part of the success is attributable to well-defined expectations, team-building exercises, and a structured client engagement process that serves the needs of the businesses as well as the student teams.
