that integrates project, operations, and information systems management
to meet a managerial challenge at their organization and significantly improve
its performance.
The report will
include at least the following topics

An executive summary
Description of the managerial
challenge
Application of project
management to the challenge
Application of operations
management to the challenge
Application of information
systems management to the challenge
Assignment of the project team
Training needed
Work breakdown including
critical path
A planning budget

The report will be submitted in pdf
format except for the budget, which will be in xlsx format, and the work
breakdown including critical path, which will be prepared with a project
management software such as MS-Project.
Critical thinking, managerial
decision making, information literacy, problem-solving, systems thinking, and
technology fluency are required.

it be 12 pages or less? One reads that IBM decision papers are
limited to that length, and we all recall the single-sheet Ringo Sho
approach to important decisions at Toyota.
