| Description
| Real estate and construction make up the largest industry in the world. They are also exceptionally fragmented, fractious, and information intensive. The Internet and e-commerce could be expected to have explosive impacts on these industries. This course will force on the long-term effects of information technology and business strategy. We will consider issues including: key success factors, allocation of risk, impact on contract obligations and security, trends toward consolidation, and the convergence of information transparency and personal effectiveness. The course will be taught on an interactive, case study basis. Case studies and resources will be drawn from both the world of dot.com entrepreneurship, and from the responses of "old economy" companies.
Pedagogic Objectives: The objectives of this course are to equip students with the basic strategy and business analytic tools to contribute to shaping business policy in their own firms as they rise to levels of influence.
