2.1+Business+and+Employment

=2.1 Business and Employment = 

Traditional Business: Banks, including ATM (automatic teller machines), EFT (electronic funds transfer), hotels, supermarkets, travel agencies. Online Business (e-commerce): Working practices such as teleworking and home working. Transportation: Airline reservation systems, navigation, package tracking, traffic control systems, IT systems in cars.

The coverage of business and employment should address the IT systems that exist as well as the ethical issues and social impacts that arise from the increased use of information technologies for both employers and employees. Students should be aware of the range of different business environments, ranging from a traditional (offline) business to businesses that are exclusively online.
