Management Assignment

Disruption Report For this written assessment task, you will extend your work in your first assignment, from a process modelling perspective. As with your video assignment, for this assignment you may use either an historical or predictive approach. You can use the same topic as your video assignment so you can build upon your existing understanding of the industry. Alternatively, if you prefer, you may use the other topic available to you in the topic generator. Select one of your technological impacts developed for Assignment 1, or identify a new impact. Select a type of business which operates within the industry and which would be affected by your technological impact. Write a description of the business type (200-300 words). You may also include examples of existing businesses or focus on a specific organization. You may use any relevant sources, including websites, blogs, tweets, journal articles and textbooks. Ensure you reference any sources appropriately. Identify at least one process within your business which would change, or has changed, as a result of your chosen impact. For this process, determine: • Events; • Activities or Tasks; • Decision points; • Actors (people and/or objects); • Outcomes Refer to lecture materials and readings for descriptions of these terms. Create a swim-lane diagram for the business process as you understand it. Use any diagramming format that you like, but it is recommended to use a BPMN collaboration (swim-lane) diagram, as it maps directly to the above process components. You should have between ten and fifteen components in this process.Identify specific components of this process which would change due to your technological idea. This may be speculative for future or potential impacts. Describe how these components would be affected (200-300 words). It should be clear which events, tasks, decision points, actors, and outcomes are affected, and in which ways. This may include components being removed, replaced, augmented or added. Include justification for why these components are affected by your specific technology. Create a second model to show the expected business process after disruption. You should use the same diagramming format as for the previous model.
