Form a group with three or four of your classmates.

Select two businesses that are competitors in the same industry and that use their Web sites for electronic commerce. Visit these Web sites. You might compare, for example, the Web sites for iTunes and Napster, Amazon and BarnesandNoble.com, or E*Trade and Scottrade. Prepare an evaluation of each business’s Web site in terms of its functions, user friendliness, and ability to support the company’s business strategy. Which Web site does a better job?

Why? Can you make some recommendations to improve these Web sites? If possible, use Google Sites to post links to Web pages, team communication announcements, and work assignments; to brainstorm;

and to work collaboratively on project documents.

Try to use Google Docs to develop a presentation of your findings for the class.
