products and services. Organizations look for new technologies to run their companies more efficiently and
gain market share. Emerging technologies are innovations that are new or cutting-edge or considered
ground-breaking and sometimes perceived to “disrupt” the way businesses operate.
For this assessment you will read the attached case study, which presents the existing technology and needs of a fictional organization. You will propose an emerging technology solution that will benefit the
organization in the case study. You will need to discuss the impacts of this technology within the context of
the organization.
