Assignment brief for Assessment 2: Developing a Social Enterprise
1) Beneficiaries/ Customer: Who are you serving? What is your customer and what are his/her
needs and socio-economic circumstances? Their income? Their preferences, needs, behaviours, attitudes? There may be multiple beneficiaries. Be clear about the distinction between beneficiaries.
2) The value proposition: What problem is your customer facing and how exactly you are addressing it? How is the product or service you are providing meeting a real need for your beneficiaries (if there are several, specify how you create value for all)? What are the reasons for your customers/ beneficiaries not being able to overcome the issue or solve the problem themselves? Aim to identify the Product/Market Fit.
3) Deployment/ channel: How you are going to deliver that value to your customers. What will it
take to deploy/ channel the product/service to widespread use among people who need it? E.g. will there be a storefront, partner with existing stores, or will you sell the goods and services online? Or what other access routes are there to reach your beneficiaries.
4) Buy-In/Support (Customer relationships): How do you interact with your clients/
customers? How do you get buy-in and support? How do you build trusting and loyal relationships
and communicate to help sustain the enterprise over time?
5) Mission Achievement/ revenue streams: What is the value you are creating for the sum of all
of the beneficiaries/the greater good, i.e. the social and/or environmental impact? And what is the value created for both the individual and society at large – the enterprise’s social impact?
6) Key partnerships: highlight the relationships that are crucial to your business’ success
7) Key activities: What is your main job to run this business successfully? E.g. Are you developing a technological solution? Are you selling fair-trade goods, training ex-convicts in job skills?
8) Key resources are a breakdown of what inputs you will need to deliver your product or service:
physical, human, intellectual, legal, financial?
9) Mission Budget/ Cost: What are the costs in terms of fix versus variable costs? What are the economies of scale? (e.g. cost per unit decreases with more units produced) or scope (can you produce similar products or services while banking on shared machines, packaging, etc.?).

Description
In this paper, you will gain experience assessing the value and applicability of an AI, IoT, or robotic system in addressing the technical and functional requirements of an organization.
Writing Prompt
Choose ONE of the writing prompts below to address for this paper. You don’t have to address more than one prompt.
Prompt Option 1
Research one robotic or AI system and write a convincing brief on why that technology should be adopted in an organization. For the organization, you may choose your own company, your employer, or a hypothetical company. Note that, while you need to provide references to back up your claims about the capabilities and value of your chosen system, you are ultimately writing this document to convince the reader to adopt the system. Be sure to argue why an intelligent system should be employed here. Why not just do things the “tried and true way”?
Prompt Option 2
Research the applications of AI and IoT systems for industrial applications and write a paper explaining how these technologies are transforming the way enterprises are doing work. I’d suggest choosing one domain, such as manufacturing, transportation, construction, power generation, and the like. Be sure to discuss how the application of these intelligent systems helps enterprises with their service offerings, competitiveness, and strategy. Be sure to consider why an intelligent system should be employed in the first place.
Prompt Option 3
IoT, AI, and robotics are coming together to revolutionize the transportation industry. As an example, companies like Embark (https://embarktrucks.com/), Waymo (https://waymo.com/), Ford, and others are developing driverless vehicles for both the consumer and corporate space. Write a research brief on how driverless vehicles may upset the transportation industry, or a segment thereof. Be sure to address how driverless systems will change the mission, strategy, and services in transportation.
Prompt Option 4
As with other papers, if you have your own idea for a topic that doesn’t fall directly in line with any of the previous prompts, discuss with me. You may be able to write on your own topic… one that is more in line with your career goals or interests. Just make sure you get my feedback before writing about your custom topic.
