There is nothing more important in this modern business world than understanding how the internet and the web are changing it. Just as with electricity a century ago, there's a twenty or thirty year period where the entire system of business is being overturned. No one quite knows where it is going to go yet but e-commerce classes will give you the tools to understand what is happening right now and to predict what will be happening in the future. Just think of the things that have already happened: e-Bay and Craigslist have gutted the newspaper classifieds business. Amazon has changed book selling. It's now entirely normal to look for a date online where even ten years ago using the newspaper small ads was considered rather sad. E-commerce and classes in it are all about the tools, the options and the possibilities of how any and every business can join in this revolution.
