A Vision for the Future


Professor N. Venkatraman, the David J. McGrath Jr. Professor in Management at Boston University’s School of Management presented the teams with their challenge for the Collaboration Round.

The teams will collaborate with Ericsson executives to create a story board for the city of their choosing, on how technology will transform the city in the next 6-7 years. The teams must illustrate through six slides how citizens will live, work, learn and play in the city of the future. They have to envision that this poster will be displayed in an imaginary city hall, and truly illustrate the advancements that new technology will bring to every day life.

The posters will be judged at 4 p.m. in the SMG Atrium. And there's cash to be made, with the top four posters earning between $4,000 and $1,000 respectively. Sadly, the Ericsson executives only get bragging rights if their team wins.

Good luck everyone, we're looking forward to hearing some life-changing ideas.
