The Ohio State University Connecting with Businesses

Efforts including workshops and resources will help operators of small and medium-sized businesses how to plan, establish, and expand business presence through the Internet. E-business techniques will be demonstrated and planning strategies taught to expand traditional markets and business strategies. This will give Ohio businesses the skills needed to capture national and potentially global market opportunities through e-business.

Participants of the workshops will learn to assess their situation, build strategies for the role of information technology in their operation, learn technical skills needed to bring e-business to their firm, and plan the use of electronic marketing principles. Training will occur at The Ohio State University's three Learning Centers and other locations across Ohio through efforts of the Ohio State University Extension.
