- What should be our process for spotting emerging technologies and analyzing them to see how they might be relevant to use for better or worse?
- Which of the three proposed processes should IVK sue for enforcing infrastructure technology standards? Recommend and justify.
- Is IT standardization and innovation (or flexibility) in conflict in an organization like IVK?
