Introduction
The Organization discussed in the research report is a small – Scale Company providing products and services based on Artificial Intelligence and are located in Brisbane. Organization has seen the potential use of robots for commercial as well as for domestic purpose across Australia. Upon initial research, organization has shown interests in use of robots in various commercial sectors such as mining, manufacturing and transport industries. The initial research on robotics and their applications was initiated as the organization is willing to grow the sideline business of using robotics. It has been assumed in the report that the organization is already using robotics in small – scale applications. The strategy planned by the organization is to make the use of robots as the key enabler in order to achieve competitive advantage against the competitors. To achieve this, the organization is planning to consider diversification for a period of next five years making ICT as their core competency in market. The business operations expansion will be targeted within Australia as well as in Asian region.
