Task Summary
You are required to research the case study provided to you and write 2500 words report as a group.

Context
Information technology and systems are central to every organisation and industry today. Organisations and industries use and deploy new technologies to compete with one another and optimise their business in several ways. They either develop solutions and/or products themselves or alternatively procure these from other sources and organisations that master a certain technology. Irrespective of the fact whether the organisations or industries develop products and/or services themselves or have them procured, introducing a new technology as a product or a service is always a risky proposition that requires thorough investigation. All technological interventions have their own complexities and can have legal, ethical, operational and strategic implications on business. The purpose of this group report is to engage you in building knowledge of how organisations identify, build and deploy various technology over time to remain competitive.

Task Instructions

1. For this assessment, you are given a case study (scenario) that concerns a particular organisation or an industry. You are required to work as a group of consultants for this organisation/industry and present your findings.

2. Please read the case study carefully, analyse the situation and complete your research before writing the report. Move ahead with an end in mind. Set goals for your report. You may have to do a lot of problem solving and diagnosis. This would also require you to make use of your creative, analytical, decision making, communications and interpersonal skills, but not limited to. You would also have to develop business insight around the case provided to you. What would matter at the end is your judgement and how you tackle the problem that has been provided to you.

3. Now write a 2500 words report. Your report should not only analyse the situation, provide insights, rather it should also provide findings/solutions and/or even resolutions.

4. Structure and Format
• The report should begin with an executive summary.
• It must include a title page with the subject code and name, assignment title, students' name, students' numbers and facilitator(s)'s name
• It must have an introduction (500 words) that will also serve as your statement of purpose for the report. This means that you will tell the reader what you are going to cover in your report. You will need to inform the reader of:
a. Your area of research and its context
b. The key concepts that you will be addressing
c. What the reader can expect to find in the body of the report
• After introduction you will have the main body (1500 words) that would respond to the specific requirements of the selected case. You may have to answer questions provided to you in the case in this section of the report.
• Finally, you will have conclusion (500 words) that will summarise any findings and make recommendations.
• The report should use font Arial or Calibri 11 point, should be line spaced at 1.5 for ease of reading and page numbers on the bottom of each page. If diagrams or tables are used, due attention should be given to pagination to avoid loss of meaning and continuity by unnecessarily splitting information over two pages. Diagrams must carry the appropriate captioning.
