This case assesses risks of emerging technology, the Internet of Behaviors, through a qualitative Delphi method, indicating its educational effectiveness.
This case offers students an opportunity to assume the role of a staff analyst and conduct a qualitative risk assessment using the Delphi Method. We illustrate how the Delphi Method can be used to evaluate the risks associated with adopting and implementing an emerging technology, the Internet of Behaviors (IoB). After completing this exercise, 186 students at a large public university provided feedback regarding the case’s efficacy. Their feedback revealed that they found the case interesting and effective for introducing them to qualitative risk assessments and an emerging technology, the Internet of Behaviors.
