At the time of writing, the UK is Europe’s largest e-commerce economy — with two thirds
of consumers having shopped online. The power of the internet continues to
grow with 27.7 million UK adults having used the internet in the last year. Current
predictions are that the rate of growth of internet sales will see this channel occupy
15 per cent of retail sales by 2010.
The purpose of this unit is to provide an introductory overview of the use of the
internet by business organisations and to develop learners’ skills so that they become
proficient users of the internet. Firstly the learners will learn how the internet is
organised and how servers and internet service providers link together and conform
to protocols. Next, learners will consider the trends in the use of the internet and
the worldwide web (www), and key current developments.
Learners will then develop a range of practical skills in different types of business
uses of the internet including the setting up of an internet connected computer, and
use of the internet and worldwide web for business research, procurement,
promotion and communication using a range of methods.
Having developed a fuller understanding of a range of uses of the internet and the
worldwide web, learners will then explore the reasons behind the trends by
examining the benefits of internet use from the points of view of organisations and
customers, together with the implications created by competitive pressures on
organisations as e-business has grown.
Finally, learners will consider the actions that are being taken at national,
organisational and individual level to meet the ongoing challenges created by the
rapid development of e-business. At national level the learners will explore
government actions such as the establishment of an appropriate legislative
framework, support for businesses’ development of e-business and the provision of
learning opportunities to enable individuals to gain the necessary skills. When
considering how organisations plan for change, the content from the rest of the unit
is drawn together to examine key considerations which all organisations are facing.
Learners will then consider how individuals can prepare for a world where e-business
is rapidly growing.
To successfully complete this unit you must:-
1 Understand how the internet operates and the facilities available
2 Understand how the internet and related technology can be used for a range of
business activities
3 Be able to explain the trends in the use of e-business
4 Understand the key features of planning for the increased use of e-business at
national, organisational and individual level.
