Such interactions are becoming an increasing focus in the business environment. Examples include - the design of processes for corporate governance, the role of strategic alliances among businesses, the development of cooperative regimes for industrial relations and the pursuit of more constructive cooperation between business and government. The combination of Electronic Commerce and Strategic Economic Analysis is particularly valuable for students who want to work in a technologically focused business environment.
