Uber individual project proposal and report submission

Topic for individual project proposal and report submission:
These technology platforms thus creating entirely new ways of consuming goods and services in the process. The shift from simple digitisation (the 3IR) to innovation based on combinations of technologies (the 4IR) is forcing companies to re-examine the way they do business and to cope with the changing environment and challenges, and continuously innovate.
The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) entails a fusion of technologies and is changing the way
we live and work because of the explosiveness of its development and the disruptiveness of its
technologies.
The innovations in artificial intelligence, autonomous technology (such as robots, drones and
autonomous vehicles), 3D printing, nanotechnology, quantum computing, and fintech (block
chain / cryptocurrency) are a few shelf examples of the 4IR. These changes are occurring at an
exponential rate and a very rapid increase in the size and significance of technological
innovations, particularly through influencing the financial sector and global economy, thereby
encompassing almost every social activity. Right now the use of 4IR innovations is dominated
1
by a relatively few companies, it could be widely available to many more, giving the economy
a boost.
Please select any of the 4IR innovation case and critically evaluate the innovation process in any of the 4IR innovation, and write a proposal and a report on:
Can innovation in any of the 4IR categories be managed? Identify the drivers and barriers to 4IR innovation and how will they be resolved. Propose an innovation process framework or business model of the innovation case and a justification for this.
You should aim your project paper writing with some knowledge of innovation management concepts and theories so you will need to write more detail and explanation of the concepts you cover and any wider reading you use to support your argument. At least one workshop will be covered on each of the innovation topic/case.
Your project proposal and report should be supported with good evidence both from theoretical sources, such as journal articles and from practical sources such as real-world examples and case studies. Each of the topics will have a reading list available via ELE. You may include additional relevant sources and examples from your own wider reading. It is preferable to make sure you have covered the module literature sources.
The structure of your project proposal and report, and the breakdown of the marks:

? Introduction and Background, justifying why you select the innovation case and why it is significant to analyse. Is innovation manageable? If it is manageable, what factors are important?
30% marks
? Review of literature, articulating a synthesis of literature sources that could provide an in-depth knowledge on the topic discuss the drivers and barriers to innovation and
how will they be resolved?
30% marks
? Propose an innovation process framework or business model for the innovation case
and a justification for this.
