This course has both technical and strategic objectives.  On 
the technology side, students should recognize opportunities 
to improve data management and data exchange in real 
organizations, and be able to design simple relational and 
multidimensional databases.  They should also recognize the 
transition of information technology to Web services, 
understand the technology underlying the use of Web services, 
and appreciate the importance of systems development.

On the strategy side, students should be able to outline a 
design of a net-based organization, identify ways in which 
information technology can enhance the performance of a 
net-based organization, develop strategies for using networks 
to change the relationship between the firm and other 
stakeholders, and apply the principles of the new economy to 
strategy formulation.
