Case Study Analysis -- A Rural Tale

Case Study Analysis -- A Rural Tale

Read and understand the case, analyse all the problems that had led towards the failure of IS implementation. This case is related to our BASIC Chapters (Chapter 1 and Chapter 2) and IT strategy. Complete analysis is to be posted on your blog.

Problems analyzed

In this case study, the problem faced by the foreign aid workers is that they are facing villagers from a developing country which means the countrymen is not educated well enough to understand what good technology will bring to them.

The another is communication. It will be a problem, there is no people from the home country to help the foreign workers to communicate with them. With the language and style as a barrier, they will be faces difficulties to deliver the message to them or make them understand in you.

After identify the problem faced by the villagers, the foreign workers should do some survey or questionnaire on what they wanted to improvement and is the pipe the best suited solution for them.

for the rural villagers, they has bad knowledge. So they might bring some videos to demonstrated to the villagers so that they can learn to use it and accept it because it can help to improve their quality of live. 


Recommendations

  • Provide some training
Give them some training. Like example teach the worker to use the pipes, and give them some time to get used to it.

Foreign workers should hand out some questionnaire to really identify the problem faced by the villagers and not by assumptions made.

After the implementation, the workers should teach the villagers on how to use the the pipes. The villagers need to learn it.
