In a Word document you will complete four items for this deliverable. (10 points)
(1) Provide a one (1) page (single-spaced, Times New Roman 12 font, standard margins) summary, including in-text citations. This is a draft of the Analysis section, which gets into details and will include a lot of citations (but other sections will use citations too!). First, include any cost estimates you can obtain from good sources. Then move into benefits, limitations, and risks; I recommend you make each of those a subsection within the Analysis section. Try to include some numbers with dollar signs in the Analysis section, from some good sources.
(a) Cost estimates – specific and measurable
(b) Benefits should convey specific benefits that companies have reported (with citations).
(c) Limitations should speak to aspects of the IS/IT that users report to be lacking, or cumbersome, or in need of improvement or extension in some way (with citations).
(d) Risks are the things that need to be on management’s radar screen as they move forward in their consideration of the IS/IT: potential pitfalls that have been reported, problems that can arise in implementing the technology, other issues (e.g., is there a dark side to this technology, socially speaking?). Most risks and potential pitfalls will be gleaned from your sources (with citations), but if your team has additional thoughts on potential issues or pitfalls be sure to include those too (making clear that it is your own thinking).
*Note: you are writing this from an objective point of view. Therefore, you cannot use terms like “we”, “you”, “us”, etc. in this section.
*Note: refer to the Common Writing Issues document to improve your chances for a good score on this deliverable.
(2) On a second page include an APA formatted Reference list for this section. See the Source Instruction document for more details.
