This document provides guidance for Assignment 3 which involves producing a proposal for an IT-enabled improvement to a business system. The proposal should include details of the existing business process, the proposed improvement, and how it would fit with current systems. It should also address costs, inputs/outputs, impacts on staff, and risks. The improvement proposed can be a single change or multiple changes over time. Higher grades require more original thought in the proposal and a justification/cost-benefit analysis of the recommended improvement.
