Preface: How to Use the Instructor’s Manual
The Instructor’s Manual for Electronic Commerce, Seventh Annual Edition is created to provide

chapter-by-chapter format, which include the following:

Lecture and class presentation ideas
Teaching Tips

Topics for class discussion
Additional Resources
Key Terms
Solutions (separate files)
The lecture presentation ideas follow the section-by-section format of the book and are intended
to give you a range of ideas for your classroom presentation. These can be supplemented with
the PowerPoint slides that are included in the Instructor’s Resource. You may want to add your
own slides as you develop the course and expand on the lecture ideas.
Students often learn from open discussion of technology topics. For this reason, there are many
discussion topics that you can present to the class. These topics may require students to solve a
problem, work through a new direction, or even attempt to predict the future. All of the
discussion topics are meant to be thought provoking and to help students apply what they are
learning. Each chapter in the Instructor’s Manual also includes a set of interesting Additional
Resources, which are Web links to topics of interest. Finally, a list of definitions of Key Terms is
included for each chapter.
Electronic Commerce, Seventh Annual Edition presents an exciting set of topics and the author
believes that you will share in the excitement. We wish you an enriching course experience and
we thank you for selecting our book.
