Answerthefollowingquestionsconcisely.Thequestionsrequirethought–logicandunderstanding of the issues. Visualization is also important. When you write your answers think about how you are presenting your answer. I like my information concise, to the point and uncluttered but not leave out important points (bold, bullet points, numbers, make it pop). It should be easy to follow and understand.

Question 2 Global IT Trends

Understanding the global business environment has become an essential skill for business students. Global supply chains and unexpected global events like COVID 19 play a huge role in business operations. Developing your “Global Mindset” is an important goal for future career development.

Describe the components of a “Global Mindset.”

Question 3 Making the Business Case

“Making the Business Case” for a technology solution or innovation is probably the most important thing you will walk away with. This is an important skill. Make the business case for a technology solution to address a business problem for a company of your choice. In word document (you do not need a power point).

Business Context

Business Problem

Technology Solution

Financial Justification

Include the following in your answer (these are not separate questions just need to take into account):

2.Explain cost savings, additional revenue generation or both. If both are possible show that because it makes a stronger case.

3.Make any assumptions you need.

4.You can make a comparison before and after or if new innovation, show how it will impact the current situation, etc.

5.Do not forget the Total Cost of Ownership (these are all the associated costs such as maintenance, training, etc.).

6.Your case can be simple – it does not need to be complex to show considerable savings / benefits.

7.Show the benefits for 3 years out.
