Business Technology Briefing Report for Managers.
Prepare a briefing report for non-technical managers that assesses digital technologies impact the future of industry.
The target readers are managers who may not have a technical background but are keen to know how recent and emerging technologies may impact the industry and therefore their business.
You should first:
- Select an industry sector of your choice.
- Select a technology or a family of technologies of your choice.
- Focus on one technology (such as “data analytics” and “cloud computing”), a family of
technologies (such as “artificial intelligence”) or technology-enabled concepts (such as “Industry 4.0” and “additive manufacturing”), rather than a collection of multiple unrelated technologies (such as “autonomous vehicles and 3D printing”). - Consider technologies that depend on IT and digital technologies in a broad sense, which may include, for example, bioinformatics but would exclude gene technology.
- Demonstrate a critical appreciation of a wide range of sources that should include academic sources, and not rely on a single source.
