Task 1

The Pros and Cons of Technological Development 

P1, P2, M1, D1

You are to analyse the impact of IT developments on an organisation, exploring why and how changes were made, evaluating benefits and examining risk and present your findings for discussion.

A good way to approach this task is to look at each area of operation within an organisation and how they use IT first. Then you can research the views of people who decided to make developments and of those who have been directly affected by them in their own work or as customers.

Ideally, you should research this at an organisation to which you have access to the appropriate personnel. Alternatively, where this present difficulties, your tutor will arrange to assist with a suitable operation to research.
