Consider a company (actual or hypothetical) that operates in a specific industry or sector. Develop or state the company's general strategy. This company approach should focus on grabbing opportunities and avoiding risks. You'll focus on the opportunities and challenges posed by technological advancements. You'll include the company's mission and vision, long-term strategic goals, and mid-term milestones for achieving long-term objectives.

Then, based on the overall plan, construct the firm's IT Function Strategy, detailing how IT will aid the firm's strategy, what projects should be done, and what measures should be taken both in the long and short term (medium run). It should specify what resources are required and how they will be obtained.

2. Problem definition (tell about the threats and opportunities)
3. Analysis (main part: includes strategy development process)
4. Results/Conclusion (your solutions, your strategy)
5. References (must be included)

The assignment can be (and in fact should be) done in groups. You will also present your report on-line. Please also prepare and record a short presentation. Consider the presentation as an oral exam.
