       Title: Secrets of Success in E-Commerce

Is E-commerce all about selling products over the Internet?  
For some companies, the answer is yes.  But for most companies, 
e-commerce involves many more opportunities besides or in addition 
to Internet sales. The presentation will discuss business models 
for success (or non-success) in e-commerce, how companies can 
decide what to use the Internet for besides sales, how they can 
determine if the Internet is a threat or an opportunity, and 
what challenges they need to address to have a successful e-commerce 
strategy.
