Research Paper

Overview

This assignment continuous the story of the two organisations you had selected in the first assignment (preliminary work) and uses the basis of the second assignment (research paper 1).

In this third assignment (research paper 2) you now need to address how these two organisations can improve business operations by changing their communication systems and network elements and by adopting new network technologies and/or improvements to management thereof.

Background

Continuing on your previous work, you are now required to determine what is needed to support the two organisations competitive advantage. You have gained a good understanding about these organisations through these previous assignments, where you used your assumptions to create a whole picture of the current communication systems and network elements. This will have to be tailored to the type of the organisation, their overall history (taking both previous assignments into consideration).

Consider that you may have been employed as a management consultant to advise the organisation on the most cost effective and most suitable recommendation addressing the organisations particular needs. You need to determine how each of these organisations can adopt to improve the existing communication systems and network elements to build on top of the existing ones.

This requires you to find a balance that provides a workable custom solution. Rather than taking the best of everything, financial costs and the impact of the changes to the organisation will need to be considered and justified. It would be acceptable to phase certain changes to find the most suitable solution.

It is vitally important to have a good understanding of how the organisations services are delivered and how the different components connect to provide these services. This is fundamental for selecting a solution.

Structure of research paper

The reading of the journal papers for your first assignment, the Essay, has already provided you with good understanding on how a paper is written. When you write your research paper, you will be addressing it to the specific situation of your organisation. However, imagine that you would want to publish it in a journal so that other organisations can also think about your guidelines.

Organise your research paper in the following way:

- Title (you are required to provide your paper's title)
- Your name and student number
- Abstract (about 100 words)
- Introduction
- Body context (you could divide into several sub-sections if required)
- Conclusion
- References.

The word-count limit for the introduction, body and conclusion of this paper is set at about 3,000 words. Use five (5) or more resources for your citing and referencing in Harvard style. Make sure to provide the name of the organisation as well as the URL, values, vision, and mission statement.

Please note that all assessment items in this course must adhere to the correct Harvard citing and referencing. For this purpose links have been provided to you on the study desk. However, you can consult the library web site for further details and clarifications.
