What kind of approach do you take when teaching an E-Commerce course?
Electronic commerce can be approached from two major aspects: technological and managerial.
This text emphasizes a managerial perspective. However, the authors recognize the importance of technology and have decided to incorporate several features:

Detailed technology material are included in the files, appendices, and tutorials on the book's Web site; Pg. XX.

In order to show the most recent capabilities of E-Commerce in the real world, the authors have provided multiple features throughout the text.
