Applied project – project teams and emerging/future digital technologies disruptions

Task Overview The Great Unknown – though emerging digital technologies are not usually a complete surprise out in the future as we see new paradigms take shape and IT shift and alter current ways of working or influence innovative ideas and actions. Innovation and innovative solutions designed and implemented that we can all learn from and see how they deal with the present challenges or solve today’s problems. You need to put on your consultant hat in this task, consider a potential emerging digital technology related disruption and present your case notes or body of work to a group of industry representatives. For example, there are disruptions coming into focus including advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), evolving 5G capabilities and its continued rollout, and Mixed Reality (MR) devices or eXtended Reality (XR) experiences more broadly. Choose one of these emerging digital technologies areas. Given your knowledge, understanding and consultancy expert...

Discuss the concepts of total production, average production, and marginal production.

  (i) Total Product (TP): It refers to the aggregate output produced with the help of factor inputs during a particular period of time. It is obtained by adding the Marginal product contributed by each input. (ii) Average Product(AP): Average product is an unit of output which is produced per unit input. It is calculated by dividing the Total Product by the variable inputs. AP =  T P L � � � where TP is Total product and L variable factor input (e.g. Labour) (iii) Marginal Product (MP): Marginal product refers to additional unit of output produced with the help of additional unit of input of labour or Capital. We can calculate MP with the help of the following formula: MP = TPn – TPn-1 Where, MP is marginal product, TPn is Total product of‘n’ units, and TPn-1 is Total product of the previous unit of output. Diagrammatic representation of TP, AP and MP. The total product (TP) curve, in the beginning increases at increasing rate later at decreasing rate, reaches maximum and star...
