Executive Director: Associate Professor Bob Bignall (acting)
The Centre for Electronic Commerce (CEC) is jointly operated by the Faculty of
Business and Economics and the Faculty of Information Technology. It is a
unique electronic commerce services organisation, combining the strengths of
industry professionals with the academic and research infrastructure of the two
faculties in establishing a national and international nucleus of expertise in
the field of electronic commerce.
The centre's focus is to assist industry and government to benefit from the use
of electronic commerce by providing a range of independent consulting, training
and research services helping managers, enterprises and communities, including
regional communities, to come to terms with on-line business and electronic
commerce technologies.
CEC clients include the Australian government, a number of State and local
governments, large private sector organisations, industry associations and
small to medium business. The central office of the CEC is located in the GREEN
Inc technology and business development centre at the Gippsland campus.
However, most CEC consultants are geographically independent of the centre
itself, being located in major capital cities and electronically linked to the
centre in a true application of electronic commerce technology.
