Part B: Case study and ethical analysis marks Case study: Organic Boxes You are contracted to provide IT consultation to Organic Boxes, an Australia-wide organisation sourcing certified organic, locally grown, seasonal food and delivering it to their customer's homes. The food comes in several different box types: carnivore, omnivore, herbivore and raw. Each box type comes in six different sizes and each size indicates how many people can be fed from the box (the smallest size has sufficient food for one person for one week and the largest size has sufficient food for a family of six for one week). There are additional boxes called juicer and tropical the tropical box is only available in Brisbane and Darwin). For each box type, suitable recipes are printed and provided in the box. The founder and manager of Organic Boxes is Anne Thornton and she is based in Byron Bay. Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide each have a manager who is a part of the local growers' community and who manages a very small team of people sourcing, packing and delivering the boxes. However, Anne manages Organic Boxes for Byron Bay, Darwin and Hobart. Each manager knows the growers community so well, they don't need to write down their contacts. But Anne keeps a list of the growers in Darwin and a list of the growers in Hobart and she tries to call each grower once a month for a chat. Anne set up a website when she first started Organic Boxes. Customers choose which box they want, they enter their delivery address and payment details. Then, Anne emails each city's orders to the manager on a daily basis. However, the business has grown to the extent that Anne would like to update the information systems. She would like systems to provide deeper insight into the cities she does not directly manage: which growers provide the freshest food, what food items customers prefer, how many novel food items customers can tolerate, etc. Also, she thinks there might be ways of making day to day business operation a little more efficient and the customers in Hobart have asked if there is a way for them to share cooking tips and advice. 12.
