“…This constituted a 76% jump in less than a year's time during the heyday of dot‐coms. Ethridge et al (2001) reported 54 master's and 5 bachelor's e‐business programs as of September 2000 in business schools accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).…”

“…Regardless of program level (undergraduate versus graduate) or the base of its location, the controversy continues over whether e‐business should be treated as a separate business topic or whether it should be integrated into existing courses (Scott, 2001; Ethridge et al, 2001). The Haas School of Business at the University of California–Berkeley and the Darden School at the University of Virginia are among those that have made an effort to integrate the subject matter into their existing curricula.…”

As the fortunes of e-businesses fluctuate, what is the state of e-business educational offerings? The present study attempted to explore this question by investigating the number and nature of e-business programs available in colleges and universities. Results were compared to previously published findings on e-business education. Data were collected from program web sites. Master's and bachelor's degree programs based in North America and elsewhere in the world were examined. Despite the "dot-bomb" economy, the present data suggested large increases in all foreign and North American bachelor's programs between the start of the fall semester of 2000 and November 2001. The number of North American master's programs appeared to increase dramatically during the year 2000 and at a lesser rate afterward. Findings also suggested that bachelor's and foreign master's programs involved more technical e-business courses than the North American master's programs. The educational and economic factors possibly underlying these trends are discussed.

“…The present study utilized a larger sample of e-commerce programs than previous studies in an attempt to obtain representative data. The relatively extreme previous findings concerning law courses tended to be associated with smaller sample sizes: Ethridge, Hsu, and Wilson (2001) reported that 10 percent of MBA programs included at least one law course (n ¼ 31) and Mechitov and colleagues (2002) indicated that 70 percent of their master's in e-commerce programs included law (n ¼ 10). The present study's results corroborated most of the earlier reports suggesting that under half of e-commerce programs include a law course.…”

As e-commerce revenues have mounted in recent years, so have losses from security breaches and legal problems. The present study conceptualized e-commerce activities focused on gains versus loss prevention in terms of regulatory focus theory. Professional preparation provided in 163 e-commerce master's programs worldwide was investigated using propositions derived from the theory. Data were collected using extensive Web searches of master's program curricula. Results suggested that a majority of the programs lacked courses in the prevention-focused topics of law, security, or ethics. As e-businesses increasingly face the threat of costly legal and security incidents, it appears necessary for e-commerce education programs to place greater emphasis on prevention-focused topics.

“…The dramatic worldwide increase in e-business degree programs has been documented in the literature (Durlabhji and Fusilier, 2000;2002;Ethridge, Hsu, and Wilson, 2001;Fusilier and Durlabhji, 2003;Hemaida, Foroughi, and Derr, 2002;Jacobs, 2000;O'Hara, 2000;White, 2001). Master's, bachelor's, and even associate degree programs have proliferated rapidly just since the year 2000.…”

The present study built on previous research to explore the development of e-business education in North America. Data was collected from college and university web sites on master's and bachelor's e-business programs. Findings suggest that the number of both types of e-business programs is increasing. The proportion of technical e-business courses in such programs also appears to be growing. This may reflect a move toward balanced treatment of technical and nontechnical e-business course content.
