Organisations for assignments: Samsung
Scope
You can choose to cover all areas of the organisation or focus on particular field of operation
(eg: marketing, HR, manufacturing, environment sustainability, public reputation). If you are doing a
degree in that area, you might find that useful.
For example
One of Apple’s strengths is being able to manufacturing and deliver to millions of customers
globally. A threat to that may be worker injury, equipment breaking down or unreliable
distribution. Which groups/users in Apple would want data to deal with those issues – what data
would they need ? In what form ?
A company that needs to do a better job of recruiting the right staff – the dashboard then would
be for HR managers.
