Social Project Management Questions

 

I’m working on a management discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Nicholas Negroponte is the founder of the MIT Media Lab and has spent his career pushing the edge of the information revolution as an inventor, thinker, and angel investor. His latest project, One Laptop per Child, plans to build $100 laptops that he hopes to put in the hands of millions of children in developing countries around the globe. The XO (the “$100 laptop”) is a wireless, Internet-enabled, pedal-powered computer costing roughly $100.

1.What types of competitive advantages could children gain from Negroponte’s $100 laptop?

2.What types of issues could result from the $100 laptop?

3.Explain each of the efficiency metrics and effectiveness metrics that are required for each laptop to be considered successful.
