Week 5- Chapter 5

Chapter 5 was about electronic commerce and strategies for the new economy. There are many tupes of e-commerce modles that I learned about. It is interesting on what each one does differently that the others. This chapter had e-business trends such as youth, m-commerce, and the Long Tail. They were interesting to read about. This was a knowledgeable and fun chapter to learn about.

Week 4- Chapter 4

Chapter 4 was about decision support and artifical intelligence. It was one of the more complex chapters I thought, but was very knowledgeable. Until this chapter, I was unware of the phases of decision making. In my everyday life I make thousands of decisions but never have I thought about how I make them or my process I go through. Learning about the different systems (expert, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and intelligent agent) was interesting.
