Course Overview
With the sudden need to transform digitally due to the current situation, companies do not have the luxury of time to test and experiment their digitalisation journey. Therefore, companies need to know what are key considerations for decision making in the online and ecommerce space, how to shorten execution timeline by understanding different aspects of digital marketing, and what are some key building blocks in developing their eCommerce strategy.
