SOUTHAMPTON Institute's business School is launching a new post graduate course which will help fill the skills gap preventing many businesses from realising the full potential of electronic commerce.

The new certificate in electronic commerce begins this autumn and it is aimed at helping professionals acquire the management and technology know-how as well as the legal background needed to effectively manage this booming area of trade.

Course leader Carl Adams said there have been some spectacular success stories from businesses using e-commerce.

But realising the potential can be difficult for some companies.

Details of the course are available by calling 01703 319326 or email carl.adams@solent.ac.uk
