Online Exercise 4: Research in Sustainability & IT

Objective

  • Analyze the implications of research studies in sustainability & IT

What do you need to do?

  • Conduct library research: Refer to research databases that you have access to through our library. I had initially posted about a set of databases that may be relevant to us. Identify one research article that interests you that focuses on environmental sustainability (and preferably connects it to IT as well). You are not restricted to the list of databases and list of journals I have provided in my post. You can choose other publications as well.
  • Describe the research model that was presented in the study.
  • Analyze the research model for its usefulness.
  • You will need to provide these in a Google Doc that I have created wherein all of you have edit privileges.
  • This is a group assignment.
  • Analysis for each team should be between 200 and 400 words. You can include diagrams if you need to.

General Guidelines

  • Since the Google Doc that I have shared has edit privileges for all of you, please be careful with what you edit. Do not remove anything that other teams have input.
  • Research models/articles identified and used by your team cannot overlap with what has already been identified. That is, if a team that completes their work before yours has already identified some models, you cannot repeat those. You will have to find new, unique ones. This means that teams that wait till later to complete the work will have a harder time completing their work.
