As real and virtual world goods and services are marketed, sold and supported within virtual communities, virtual economies and their currency exchanges provide a financial infrastructure for managing these international marketplaces. Students analyze and critically evaluate how Web commerce strategies are evolving to support a global economy and what the impact will be for business. The shift from electronic commerce sites to virtual marketplaces as well as the financial and social implications of this evolution are also examined.
