| Summary: | This case demonstrates a dilemma found in technology decision-making, specifically for a mass housing project meant to combat a housing shortage in the city of Ranchi, India. It highlights the need for the scope of managerial decision-making in technology selection to go beyond project management considerations such as the iron triangle (time, cost, and scope/quality), and instead include other factors like the demographic data of project locations, the social and environmental impact of the project and its deliverables, and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. With this case, students can discuss and debate on the various possible factors that can be (or should be) taken into consideration when selecting appropriate technology for affordable housing projects. By putting themselves in the shoes of the case protagonist, students develop a better understanding of the inherent complexity in such decisions and the need to make an informed judgment based on a variety of issues. |
