Choose an information technology and develop a business case for implementing the technology in your company (or a publicly traded company).

Be sure to include the following:

• A brief background on the company. What does it do, company size, where does it fit in the overall industry, financial situation, etc.

• 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.

• High level overview of the technology - what is it and how does it work.

• How well does the technology proposed align with corporate strategy?

• What are the high level costs and benefits (no need for detail here, but are we talking thousands, millions, billions, etc.)?

• Make some concrete recommendations as to how the company can best implement the proposed technology

  • Has the company successfully implemented similar projects in the past?

  • How is change typically handled and received in your company?

    • What was the outcome of past change initiatives?

• Make a recommendation for why the company should invest in this technology. Be sure to back up your recommendation.
