Bluetooth: History and Importance

You are free to choose any topic that you’d like, as long as it relates to the use of some information technology by business or other organizations. As with any other term paper, it would be well organized and well written. It should be precise and clear. You may format it however you wish, but it should be about 1200 to 1500 words in length.

It should begin with an Executive Summary of about 1 page that is essentially a brief abstract of what the paper covers. The executive summary should have enough detail for a manager (or other reader) to get a general idea of the main concepts in the paper. Bullet points are often good ways of summarizing what is in the paper. Then the paper discusses each point more fully.

The report should summarize the technology and its ramification for organizations in terms that a well-educated manager can understand. You should have at least 3 or 4 references. You are encouraged to use the Internet as a source for your paper but do not plagiarize! Example topics might include some aspect of healthcare information systems, virtual worlds such as Second Life, social sites such as Facebook or MySpace, enterprise resource planning systems, customer relationship management systems, business intelligence systems, geographic information systems, Wikipedia and other wikis, etc.

The main thing is for you to consider the organizational and managerial implications of the technology rather than just describing the technology itself, although that will normally be part of the paper too.
