Jack is an engineering graduate and his speciality is on drone
technologies. Today the technology for autonomous flying drones is
very mature; flying drones can be put into commercial services in a
safe and reliable way and in many Western countries, flying drones
are already used to supplement or replace deliveries by humans.
However, in Hong Kong, delivery by drones has not been approved as
yet. Due to the restrictions and social distancing measures imposed
by government to combat Covid-19, Jack believes there is an
enormous potential to deploy autonomous flying drones for delivery
services in Hong Kong hence he is actively planning to start a new
business on this venture. Jack has never started a company before
and he only has limited funds/capital. Now answer all of the
following parts; list any assumptions you have.
a) How would you verify whether there is an enormous potential
for deploying flying drones in Hong Kong for deliveries?
What sort of supporting data is needed and what are the
benefits? (5 marks)
b) For launching drones in Hong Kong, what are some key social,
legal, environmental hurdles that Jack still need to overcome
before he can start his business? (5 marks)
c) How should Jack plan to sustain his business especially when
Covid-19 is over and the society gradually returns to normality? (5
marks)
d) Jack is an engineer. What other knowledge, skills and
expertise are also very much needed to help plan and operate the
business? (5 marks)
e) Assume Jack is successful in launching the autonomous drone
delivery service in Hong Kong, what type of innovation would this
be? Please provide justification.
