  • Discuss briefly, how emerging digital technologies, such as the examples provided in the article, could assist in further improving the operations performance of the business.  (about 250 words)
  • A conclusion which summarises the report (about 150 words)
You are strongly encouraged to:
  • Use the Phase 1 comments from other contributors to broaden and strengthen your   understanding of the concepts.
  • Draw on the relevant insights from the following article. This article discusses how digitisation is dramatically changing the nature of operations and process management decisions and their implications for the operations managers in the 21st-century.
