Project Description:
This course project will help students to new directions in information systems and effective approaches for evaluating their relevance and applicability to their business environments as well as the new challenges and problems that they face in adopting emerging technologies. They will learn about emerging technologies and the latest design trends in Information Systems and applications in terms of what issues they address and in particular, how organizations can exploit them for competitive advantage. Students have to write a report explaining how to help their organizations define, select, and adopt new information technologies. It can be a
• Business case for an emerging information technology
• Factors affecting the successful adoption of new information technologies
• Identifying the key attributes, business benefits, risks, and cost factors of a new technology
• Know how to effectively use new technology
• Describe technology trends that presently drive or are expected to drive the selection of new technologies over the next decade
Prepare a report of 15 to 20 pages about the selected emerging technology and submit the report (Hard Copy and Soft Copy via blackboard) in the format specified. Report Submission will be in 12th week followed by presentation in the 13th Week. The report carries 15 marks and power point presentation carries 5 Marks. Schedule of presentations will be notified later. The contents of the report are as follows
