Question

Based on your approved project proposal develop the following sections: Organizational Description - this section will provide an overview of the organization. This overview will include a summary of:

1- Potential population characteristics (i.e., majority aboriginal populations, etc.).

2- Potential challenges that you can identify for this organization (i.e., access to services due to geographic location, etc.) in which technology can play a significant role.

3- Description of the technological need(s) that this organization is required to address.

4- Proposal of some potential solutions – do not forget the rationale (i.e., why?

On Lululemon Company. Please provide everything in detail and briefly. (2-3 pages required).

Answer 1

Ans 1. More than 68% of Aboriginal people live in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria while Western Australia and the Northern Territory contribute only 22% of the Aboriginal population. Queensland is expected to overtake NSW for the title of most Aboriginal residents.

Aboriginal population figures

Experts estimate the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders at more than 770,000 at the time of the invasion in 1788. ^[2] It fell to its low of around 117,000 people in 1900, a decrease by 84%.

It took until 2016 for population figures to recover. If the current annual growth rate of 2.2% remains stable, the Aboriginal population can reach more than 900,000 by 2026. ^[4]

The faster growth in the Aboriginal population (compared to 1.6% for the general Australian population) is the result of several factors and "cannot be explained by demographic factors alone," as the Australian Bureau of Statistics explains. ^[1] Contributing factors are higher levels of fertility, better life expectancy and more Aboriginal women moving into peak child-bearing age between now and 2026. ^[4]

The median age for Aboriginal people, currently 23, ^[1] is projected to reach 25 by 2026. But this remains much younger than the median age in the general population, which is currently 38 and is expected to rise above 40 by 2026. ^[4]

A problem is though how many people identify themselves as Aboriginal. "There are a large number of people who don't answer the Indigenous question in the Census," explains Patrick Corr, Director of Demography with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). ^[5]

It is not unusual for people to identify, de-identify, or re-identify as Aboriginal on official documents such as the Census, making the job hard for statisticians. This phenomenon is also common in Canada, where it explains partially why its Aboriginal population grows up to four times faster than its non-Aboriginal population. ^[6]

"We have approximately 1.1 million people whose Indigenous status we don't know, so we have made some assumptions," concedes Corr. This uncertainty lets the ABS tag some figures as 'experimental estimates'.

A digital divide is any uneven distribution in the access to, use of, or impact of information and communications technologies (ICT) between any number of distinct groups, which can be defined based on social, geographical, or geopolitical criteria, or otherwise.^[1]

The term digital divide was first coined by Lloyd Morrisett, when he was president of the Markle Foundation (Hoffman, et al., 2001). Traditionally considered to be a question of having or not having access,^[2] with a global mobile phone penetration of over 95%^[3] it is becoming a relative inequality between those who have more and less bandwidth^[4] and more or fewer skills.^[5][6][7][8]

• Who is the subject that connects: individuals, organizations, enterprises, schools, hospitals, countries, etc.
• Which characteristics or attributes are distinguished to describe the divide: income, education, age, geographic location, motivation, reason not to use, et Cetra.
• How sophisticated is the usage: mere access, retrieval, interactivity, intensive and extensive in usage, innovative contributions, etc.
• To what does the subject connect: fixed or mobile, Internet or telephone, digital TV, broadband, etc.^[9]

Different authors focus on different aspects, which leads to a large variety of definitions of the digital divide. "For example, counting with only 3 different choices of subjects (individuals, organizations, or countries), each with 4 characteristics (age, wealth, geography, sector), distinguishing between 3 levels of digital adoption (access, actual usage and effective adoption), and 6 types of technologies (fixed phone, mobile... Internet...), already results in 3x4x3x6 = 216 different ways to define the digital divide. Each one of them seems equally reasonable and depends on the objective pursued by the analyst".^[10] The "digital divide" is also referred to by a variety of other terms which have similar meanings, though may have a slightly different emphasis: digital inclusion,^[11] digital participation,^[12] basic digital skills,^[13] media literacy ^[14] and digital accessibility.^[15]

Brainstorming before Decision Making

Before groups can make a decision, they need to generate possible solutions to their problem. The most commonly used method is brainstorming, although most people don’t follow the recommended steps of brainstorming. As you’ll recall, brainstorming refers to the quick generation of ideas free of evaluation. The originator of the term brainstorming said the following four rules must be followed for the technique to be effective (Osborn, 1959):

1. Evaluation of ideas is forbidden.
2. Wild and crazy ideas are encouraged.
3. Quantity of ideas, not quality, is the goal.
4. New combinations of ideas presented are encouraged.
