Your employer earns $50 million in annual sales and employs 500 workers. It plans to acquire 100 new portable computers.
The chief financial officer has asked you to lead a project team assigned to define users' computer hardware needs and recommend the most cost-effective solution for meeting those needs.
Who else (role, department) and how many people would you select to be a member of the team? How would you go about defining users' needs? Do you think that only one kind of portable computer will meet everyone's needs?
Should you define multiple portable computers based on the needs of various classes of end user? What business justification can you define to justify this expenditure of roughly $100,000?
