Vision/ Scope?

Vision/ Scope


E-Commerce is a panacea to expand a business beyond the boundaries. Huge revenue can be generated by providing services or products in international market. Many successful businessmen used E-Commerce strategies to expand business activities to get maximum share in international market. There are many examples of successful businesses in Pakistan like US Apparel, Guard Rice etc. who expanded their business gradually and now they are pioneers in their business. If one student becomes able to implement such type of activity, he will create many opportunities for other graduates. Because when one graduate gets a job, he becomes able to afford at most one family only and on the other hand, if one graduate starts business successfully, he becomes source of earning for many families. Students would be asked to give an idea of products or services in which they are agreed to get excel in future. Further, the students can be asked to analyze a current system (company or an organization) to identify its problems and providing them the e-business \ e-commerce solutions to participate the globalization


After the successful completion of the course, the students should be able to implement e-commerce strategy in both ways like:


1. Implementation of new business idea with comprehensive international market analysis with respect to culture, language, trust building, economic position, demand of any product or service (remember: 70% new ideas fail due to lack of market analysis)


2. Expansion of old or existing business by E-Commerce to get benefits of globalization and international market share to generate huge revenue from business.








Remember:





Competing the international market is not a child’s play; it requires a comprehensive market analysis, compliance with the international standards and any business man can get benefit from fulfilling any unmet need of the inhabitants of any country. This is possible via E-Commerce. Further, it should be taken into consideration what we can produce in Pakistan easily with low cost. We can enlist the products like leather, cotton, furniture, rice, wheat, soft ware, towels, socks, vegetables, fruit, shoes, books, paper, gifts, flowers, toys, jeans, dresses, shawls, man power etc. Also, we should keep in mind what we should import from abroad like machinery, vehicles, electronics etc.
