Your task is to critically discuss and evaluate the effect of process technology and e-business on an organisation of your choice. You should evaluate the effect on their logistical and operational capacity and capability.

Your answer should include the initial impact on the chosen company and how, if relevant, this is likely to develop in future years.

This is an individual assignmentand must be presented in a report format (2,000 words). It is important that your report is properly structured. Also, as this is an academic paper, you should draw on contemporary literature to support your paper. Remember that this individual report accounts for 50% of your module assessment. Hence, bad performance will have a big impact on this module. An executive summary is not necessary in a report of this size.

Your report should include references to appropriate process technology and e-business literature (textbooks, journals and websites). Care should be taken when consulting websites as they are not all equally authoritative (for example Wikipedia is not peer-reviewed; therefore is not considered an academic reference website). A minimum of 5 different academic references must be cited, but a well-researched report is likely to cite many more.
