The next decision you need to make concerns the appropriate strategic decisions extracted from the research your group has conducted in the weekly tutorials for the various requirements you have identified in and around the case study.  It is these decisions and application of them in The Balanced Scorecard that are the subject of this assignment.

(A)          As individuals within your team you must agree the assignment of an individual BSC perspective.

  1. The objective of your individual research will be to produce a report on how your allocated “perspectives” may embrace the emerging technologies core to the module (as discussed on a weekly basis), including their strengths and weaknesses.
  2. Your research must also identify two examples of the technologies in practice.
  3. One example should be of “good practice” where it has been used appropriately and successfully and the other example should be of “useful but not successful practice” where it has been used inappropriately and or unsuccessfully.  Your conclusion should highlight lessons to be learnt from your examples.
  • The report in this section of the assignment should be at least 1500 words per person, and it should be clearly identified with the name of the author.
  • All research will be appropriately referenced in accordance with the Harvard Referencing System.
