E-Commerce is a new paradigm of conducting business with advanced information technologies. It is changing fundamentally the way companies do business with the public and with each other. This has created a great need for talents who are capable of bridging the fields of technology and business to take advantage of this fundamental paradigm shift.

By considering and treating the whole operations process of an enterprise as an integrated supply chain, this subject studies the coordination, sharing, and management of the information flow and the material flow during the whole process of an enterprise's operations. To put it in simple terms, we study the supply chain system of an enterprise, spanning from orders acceptance, product design, material sourcing, resource allocation, production planning and manufacturing, to product delivery.
