Course Project

Due Date: The written report is due on December 16, at 9:00 am.

(email to hansen at ischool dot berkeley dot edu AND saghar at berkeley dot edu).

You will need to deliver a written report (max 5,000 words) based on an analysis of a managerial process pertaining to the topics in the course. You can do this in a team or by yourself (team is best). The project should ideally be a field study, which involves interviewing managers in an organization. Examples include:

  • An analysis of a process (innovation, collaboration, decision making) in a company
  • A critical review of an existing IT tool to promote collaboration among employees in a company (e.g., telepresence, LinkedIn)
  • A design of a new IT tool to promote collaboration, analyzing how it will solve problems highlighted by the frameworks in the course

Here are the project information sheet and the project write-up guidelines.
