Your business is based in one of the transportation, food service/catering or healthcare sectors. In your group presentation, you have already discussed investment in and development of cloud services for your products/services to continue the business performance. You now need to write a briefing document to show the key issues regarding blockchain. ASSIGNMENT QUESTION Task 1 Identify and evaluate the characteristics and significance globally of blockchain. (25 marks) Task 2 Analyse the organisational opportunities and challenges posed to your chosen sector by blockchain. (40 marks) Task 3 Apply Porter’s value chain and/or Rayport & Sviolka’s virtual value chain to analyse how value is created and delivered in your business by blockchain. (25 marks) Task 4 Use correct academic writing style and structure. Use correct grammar, syntax, punctuation and spelling. Use in-text citations and references according to the Harvard Reference System. (10 marks) bigiu Highlight bigiu Highlight ASSESSMENT CRITERIA Evidence of knowledge, understanding and analysis of the role of blockchain in an organisation and its relationship to corporate strategy. Evidence of academic and intellectual skills that evaluate appropriate hard and soft factors that impact upon success and failure in the development, roll out and operation of business information systems. Evidence of academic and intellectual skills that successfully apply principles of blockchain to a specific organisational context. POINTS TO CONSIDER • Structure of the briefing document: 1. Introduction - introduce the topic area and explain the scope of work to be addressed in the briefing document (150 words) 2. Task 1 (750 words) 3. Task 2 (1200 words) 4. Task 3 (750 words) 5. Conclusion to summarise what you have set out in your main section (150 words) 6. Full list of references in Harvard format. Your briefing report does not need an executive summary, recommendations or appendices. Use the sector and business/organisation chosen for the interim assessment. If you do not, marks will be forfeited. • Respond to each task by using relevant theories, frameworks and their application to the BIS development with explanation and analysis. A critical approach will earn merit. • Explore relevant blockchain issues in your analysis and application of your proposals. These may include security, immutability, transparency, IOT, etc. Be aware of the distinction between blockchain and cryptocurrencies. • Take a critical approach to your use of Porter’s value chain and/or Rayport & Sviokla’s virtual value chain. Focus on the technology activity and explore its relationships selectively with other value creation activities. • Lectures, tutorials and the VLE materials curate and present a range of relevant theory to support your BIS development (e.g. value chain, virtual value chain, IPOS model, generic strategy, five forces analysis, system theory, three levels of strategy and data-information-knowledge model). ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY GENERIC ASSESSMENT CRITERIA AND MARKING STANDARDS: LEVEL 5 Level 5 reflects continuing development from Level 4. At this level students are not fully autonomous but are able to take responsibility for their own learning with some direction. Students are expected to locate an increasingly detailed theoretical knowledge of the discipline within a more general intellectual context, and to demonstrate this through forms of expression which go beyond the merely descriptive or imitative. Students are expected to demonstrate analytical competence in terms both of problem identification and resolution, and to develop their skill sets as required.
