Assignment:
Choose an information technology and develop a business case for implementing the technology in your company (or a company you used to work for or a publicly traded company). NOTE - this is most likely NOT the same as your emerging technology, unless you can make a strong case for it.
Be sure to include the following:
1. A brief background on the company. What does it do, company size, where does it fit in the overall industry, financial situation, etc.
2. What is the generic strategy (e.g, cost leader, differentiator, focus) the company is pursuing? Note, this real strategy might be very different than the strategy statement the company puts out.
3. High level overview of the technology - what is it and how does it work.
4. How well does the technology proposed align with corporate strategy?
5. What are the high level costs and benefits (no need for detail here, but are we talking thousands, millions, billions, etc.)?
6. Make some concrete recommendations as to how the company can best implement the proposed technology6.3
a. Has the company successfully implemented similar projects in the past?
b. How is change typically handled and received in your company?
- What was the outcome of past change initiatives?
7. Make a recommendation for why the company should invest in this technology. Be sure to back up your recommendation.
