MB362 - Electronics & Mobile Commerce (week 1)

Was late for the first lesson of MB362. Well, couldn't blame us as it will a very early 830am lesson on a rainy Friday morning!(excellent for sleeping) ha ha..

During the lesson, we discussed quite a fair bit on disruptive technologies and how this technologies have disrupted existing markets. Such technologies as MP3, P2p, VOIP and email have bring about many convenience to the consumers but are ,and have, cause great threats to many of the current industries such as, entertainment, fixed line service provider and telegram services.

I personally felt that Electronics and Mobile Commerce is a very relevant business channel in present world. Simply last year, Google had bought US$1.65bn worth of shares of YouTude http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6034577.stm . Locally, we had Hardwarezone sold to SPH(Singapore Press Holdings) for SGD $7.1mil http://www.sph.com.sg/news/latest/press_060929_001.html .

I would now like you to focus on your learning experience, the topics that really interest you, the ideas you respond to, and those that you didn't quite understand. This helps me shape the course.
