Module Title: Engineering for Policy, Policy for Engineering Assessment 1 Topic: For this assessment, you are asked to analyse a current engineering policy in a national or regional context, in terms of how engineering for policy and policy for engineering are deployed in achieving better social outcomes. Consider a policy in one of the following areas, in a city, region or country you are familiar with: Energy: Eg. Policies associated with renewable energy infrastructure transition, improve energy efficiency or reducing energy consumption Mobility: Eg. Policies associated with clean public transport, active travel infrastructure, use and access Health: Eg. Policies associated with healthcare infrastructure and healthy living in an ageing society or supporting mental health and wellbeing I favor policies on mobility with an emphasis on equity and access/ease of use, or policies on health with an emphasis on healthcare infrastructure, but I dont insist on them. I am mostly familiar with the policy processes of the UK, Turkey and France, but I have no preferences for the city or country chosen.

I can provide any other additional information needed.

An important part of any organizations priorities, as well as an important category of B Corp Certification, is the consideration of added value for customers. In this assignment, you will apply what you have learned about customer expectations and consider how it can be applied to your course project, which is due in Module Seven.

Directions

You work in the operations department at NationaliTeas, a large international corporation that manufactures and sells tea worldwide. Based on customer feedback and a push to work toward B Corp Certification, the board of directors is looking for new initiative ideas that would increase value to customers. Examples include offering product guarantees, seeking product quality certifications, monitoring customer satisfaction, and more. You have been asked to outline two customer-focused initiatives that can be evaluated by impacted teams for feasibility.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

• Added Customer Value: Briefly describe the added value that your initiative idea brings to customers. Use supporting evidence from course materials in your response.
• Added Business Value: Briefly describe the added value that your initiative idea brings to the organization. Be certain to note the impact of the added customer value on the business. Use evidence from the course materials to support your response.
• Potential Resources: Identify resources that would likely be needed to complete the outlined initiative. In this case, “resources might refer to the amount of funding, the materials available, the allocation of employees and their time, and so on.
• Monitoring and Evaluation: Briefly describe how the success of the initiative would be monitored over time and how you would evaluate the criteria for success.

What to Submit

Submit this assignment as a 500- to 750-word Microsoft Word document. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

MBA 580 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

In the highly competitive automotive market, it is critical to keep up with current technology to stay in or get ahead in the marketplace. To remain competitive, companies must innovate and integrate new technologies within their product lines and services.

In this milestone, you will build on your work from the Module Two presentation and data analysis to make and justify your recommendation for implementing either a discontinuous innovation (Option A) or an incremental innovation (Option B).

In Milestone Two, you will develop a go-to-market strategy. In your final project, you will compile your work from Milestones One and Two, and propose an organizational structure designed to best integrate, produce, and market the new technology.

Note: The Milestone One and Milestone Two rubric criteria are graded up to the “Meets Expectations” level. In your final project, you will expand on your initial research and use instructor feedback for an opportunity to reach “exemplary” for each of the rubric criteria.

Scenario

You work as a middle manager for one of the top U.S. producers of luxury and mass-market automobiles and trucks.

The chief technology officer (CTO) of your company has been monitoring new technology developments that the company could integrate into its vehicles to enhance the usefulness of and improve access to the data acquired by the many digital sensors integrated into vehicle subsystems over the past 20 to 30 years. The technology trend of particular interest is the internet of things (IoT)the interconnection of embedded devices, such as sensors and computers, over the internet. By taking advantage of this trend, the CTO believes the company can seize an opportunity to provide better service and predictive maintenance to its customers, improving customer satisfaction and adding additional revenue streams.

Based on briefings by the CTO and your Module One memo, senior management has decided to implement IoT into its product line. Your CTO has asked you to lead a cross-functional team to take this initiative forward. Your first task is to create a presentation that will include your recommendation for how the company should approach this business problem: should you use incremental or discontinuous innovation?

Specifically, should the company:

1. Design a completely new product line, based on the new technology (discontinuous innovation)
2. or
3. Add new technology features first into one model and then incrementally into the broader product line (incremental innovation)

The recommendation you and your team will make is an important first step in pursuing this new technology. Your presentation and recommendations will be reviewed by senior management. Until senior management approves your approach to this innovation, your cross-functional team will not have a budget and will not be able to start work on the innovation.

Directions

Create a PowerPoint presentation to make a recommendation for how the company should pursue the IoT technology to remain competitive: either by discontinuous or incremental innovation. To make your recommendation, you will need to identify how the evolving IoT (sensor) technology fits into your companys products and services and determine potential risks and benefits. You will also need to look at your competitors to see what they are doing. Finally, you need to analyze your companys capability (resources) for pursuing the innovation. Use the information and data from the CTO Brief, Comparative Growth Data, Comparative Operating Statistics, and Comparative Product Plans included in the Module One Memo Guidelines and Rubric Prompt section to complete this milestone. Note: Remember to use both on-slide text and narration or speaker notes to convey your information effectively. If narration is not possible, precise and extensive speaker notes should be used while addressing all the rubric elements in the presentation. For example, you can use brief, bulleted lists on the slide and include detailed explanations in your narration or speaker notes.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Explain potential risks and benefits for innovation Options A, discontinuous innovation, and B, incremental innovation.

• Overview (1 slide): Present the business problem and an overview of Options A and B.
• Option A (12 slides): Explain at least two potential risks and two potential benefits for Option A.
• Option B (12 slides): Explain at least two potential risks and two potential benefits for Option B.

1. Evaluate your competitors products, services, growth, and market strength.

• Competitors: Dedicate at least one slide to each competitor.

1. What products and/or services with IoT or similar technology are your competitors offering?
2. Do the products or services offered by each competitor give them a competitive edge in the market?
3. How does your competitors growth impact their market strength?
4. Analyze your companys capability to pursue the IoT innovation.

• A. Complete a partial gap analysis (2 slides) and consider the following questions:

1. Does your company already own the IoT technology, or does it need to be purchased?
2. How is the IoT technology currently being used in your companys existing products and services?
3. What types of technology are available to purchase?
4. Recommend the innovation approach your company should pursue.

• Explain which innovation approach you are recommending and why. (23 slides)
• Consider how different stakeholders (research and development [R&D], marketing, finance) may be impacted while communicating your recommendations and justification.

1. Include a description of the incremental or discontinuous product(s) you are recommending for R&D.
2. Include the sales forecasts for marketing so that they can plan how and when they will promote the new product(s).
3. Include a financial snapshot of the costs, potential profits, and risks for the finance team.

What to Submit

Create a PowerPoint presentation with on-slide text and narration or detailed speaker notes. Your presentation should be 10 to 13 slides in length. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

Respond to seven of these prompts. Examples are encouraged where appropriatewrite as much as necessary, but Im expecting roughly a paragraph or two. The two primary standards are: 1. Can you demonstrate a good command of the concept, with reference to the reading? 2. Can you explain why it might be important (this is where an example would help but isnt necessary)? The best answers will directly, specifically engage and cite the readings in addition to lecture material and original examples. You do not need a separate bibliography if you only reference course readings, but clearly note which ones you are discussing when you do so, including page numbers where possible. 1. What is infoglut, what is symbolic efficiency, and how does infoglut contribute to the demise of symbolic efficiency? 2. Explain Edward Bernays case for the importance of propaganda. What do you find convincing in it? Unconvincing? What has changed since 1928 that changes the persuasiveness of his argument? 3. Explain Elluls concepts of orthopraxy vs. orthodoxy and vertical vs. horizontal propaganda. How could these older ideas be used to understand your contemporary media environment? How does Elluls view of propaganda agree with or depart from Bernays? 4. What is bullshit, how is it distinct from lying, and how is the concept helpful in understanding mis/disinformation? 5. What is cognitive dissonance, what is confirmation bias, and how do the two relate to one another? 6. Explain Habermass concept of the public spherewhat it is, how it emerged historically, and why it is important. 7. Explain the Toulmin model of argument, including its component parts, and create an example identifying all six parts. 8. What are heuristics? Describe the concept, why it is important, and explain two kinds of heuristics with brief examples. 9. What is agnatology? How would you classify misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and bullshit within the three kinds of agnatology defined by Proctor? 10. What is McIntyres concept of post-truth? Is McIntyres claim that we live in a new post-truth society persuasive given the history of mis/disinformation we have studied (for example, in Tucher)? Why or why not?
