Electronic Commerce

My master's thesis

In spring 1996 I wrote my master's thesis on the subject of electronic commerce, with a special emphasis on secure payment systems over the Internet. The paper is in Polish, you can view it online (100 pages, 1.6 MB, Adobe PDF file). 

Please note that the rate of change of the Internet has made most of the thesis obsolete. At most it is an interesting (I like to think :-) snapshot of electronic commerce as it was in the very early stages of its development. Remember that in 1996 the Internet was still mainly a non-profit academic network.

My electronic commerce article

In March 1998 on behalf of Andersen Consulting I wrote an article on electronic commerce for one of the Polish business magazines. The article is in Polish, you can view it online (10 pages, 560 kB, Adobe PDF file). 

 

Case Competition

In March 2000 McGill MBA team that I was a member of won the Second Annual Electronic Commerce Case Competition at University of New Brunswick in Saint John. The theme of the competition was valuation of Internet companies. Here you can find our presentation in MS PowerPoint (500 kB) format. You can also see our short presentation notes (15kB Adobe PDF).
