Strategy IT custom essay

Strategy IT

 This coursework is to be completed individually. It comprises two parts:

• A written report  – word length approximately 3500 words +/- 10% (contributes 90% of total mark)
• A structured oral presentation(contributes 10% of total mark)

YOU SHOULD COMPLETE BOTH PARTS OF ASSESSMENT IN ORDER TO PASS THE COURSE. MISSING ONE OF THE TWO WILL CAUSE YOU TO FAIL THE WHOLE COURSE.

 You should attend to the following instructions:

Choose a real organisation you have either worked for / currently work for, or one where you can have access (this may be a firm where a close friend or relative has worked for / is working for). It is essential NOT to use a firm for which you can ONLY get secondary data (e.g. publicly available information only).

Discuss the implementation of an Information System in that organisation. That may be:

• retrospective (i.e. referring to a system that has been implemented in the past)
• current (i.e. referring to a system currently under planning / development / testing / rollout etc.)
• prospective (i.e. providing a proposal for implementing a specific IT system in the immediate future)

You must address at least the following areas (marks allocated according to the percentages provided):

 

• the organisational / business background of the firm (10%);
• a brief account of the technological system background (please focus on the technological as opposed to technical specifications of the system) (10%);
• the implementation process, from initiation to termination (where appropriate); (25%)
• the strategic impact – or lack of it – of the implementation on the operational / structural / cultural / economic / legal and other identified facets of the organisation; (40%)
• an assessment of the implementation (PIR – Post-Implementation Review) (10%)
• a proposition for the future IS Strategy of the firm (5%).

It is recommended that you use an Analytical Framework of your choice for your approach to implementation analysis, to assist you in sytematically approaching the matter.

You need to draw and provide conclusions which are relevant and specific; you also need to provide recommendations for the future state of the organisation. Finally, you need to recommend further work to anyone who may – hypothetically – wish to follow your work through to a higher level.

Deliverables.
