Business Web: Discovering Corporate Links

Abstract

Business education requires students to have knowledge about corporations and the relationships between them. Sometimes students, in particular non-traditional ones, may not have either this knowledge or the skills required to obtain it. The Business Web guides students in acquiring information about businesses and understanding their inter-connections. As they build Business Webs, students are also trained in knowledge management – acquiring, evaluating and using domain related information. The Business Web is a simple, powerful, flexible and student driven tool, with potential for general use.
