Module 5 Case

THE FUTURE OF INNOVATION IN BUSINESS

Assignment Overview

As we contemplate the future of innovation in business and imagine such things that science fiction has talked about, such as flying cars and holographic projection meeting and perhaps even telepathy, what is more urgent is the very near future. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing, and this is creating more intelligent machines, processes, and products. However, note that what most pundits call AI is actually more advanced machine intelligence (MI). Roger Shank, noted AI theorist and cognitive psychologist, says, “Two babies are smarter than any machine will be.” He also says, “When a computer starts imitating you, then you can start worrying.”

Nevertheless, robots and robotics are part and parcel of this current MI paradigm that is taking us into the future. While it may be some time before we have actual humanoid robots who do our bidding, the field of robotics is advancing rapidly. This Case Assignment looks at the paradigm of smarter machines and robots and how humans need to work with innovative technology.

Module 5 SLP  

THE FUTURE OF INNOVATION IN BUSINESS

Module 5 marks the completion of the first draft of a literature review for your DSP. The assignment for this module is to complete the first draft, based on the annotated outline for it that you submitted in Module 4. By now, you should have all your sources lined up; have some practice reviewing works of literature in the cases, and also writing paragraphs for the previous SLP assignments; and have received feedback. If your annotated outline is well developed, turning it into your draft should not be too hard. It just requires putting together all the skills that you have been developing throughout the program to date.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Length: The draft that you submit should be 15-20 pages long (double-spaced) without

counting the cover page and reference page. (Note that later in the DBA program your

final DSP Proposal, Chapter 2, should be 30 to 40 pages long.)

Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to the

outline and the assignment.

Grammar and Spelling: While no points are deducted for minor errors, assignments

are expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and

Search diligently for any additional appropriate literature items and take notes on

these.

Use the outline you completed for SLP 4. You can add more works of literature if you

found additions. Add subheadings as necessary for organization.

List literature references using APA 7 format. Include notes for each reference. This
