Abstract

There is a world of business resources, both human and data, available on the computer mediated commincations (CMC) systems such as Internet and CompuServe. Though most of the CMCs discourage or prohibit commercial transactions (buying or selling) on their systems, there is still much to offer the average business in terms of practical business research and development. But few buisenesses are taking advantage of theses resources. This paper will discuss the kinds of business resources available through CMCs, particularly the Internet. Although the paper will touch on using the CMCs to find database information, the focus will be on the coneferencing aspects of the networks and how they can aid business research and development projects
