Student’s assignment, your assignment (1)
Help, I got fired! You knew business was not going very well for your company, but that it was so bad that they had to fire you was something you did not expect.
Yesterday your boss gave you your notice, and as of today you are unemployed. You have worked in the canteen of the company for about five years. You did not earn a lot, 1200 Euros (gross) per month, but the work was pleasant and so were your collegues. And you earned enough to provide a decent living for you, your wife and your newborn son, who is just over one year now.
To add to your troubles your landlord told you that after a couple of years of steady rent, he had to raise the rent of your appartment from 300 to 350 Euro per month. What to do? Your think about starting your own one-man company as a gasfitter. You have the appropriate papers for that.....

Student’s assignment, your assignment (2)
With regard to a eGov service (case)1. Describe the current situation (IST-IS) with the help
of the IT-models Search for the relevant information on the internet
2. Perform a SWOT analysis (based on the principles)3. Make a redesign (SOLL-SHOULD)4. Make an implementation plan
We are going to do step 1 and 2: All relevant information is already in the wiki (no
search on the internet) Focus on dismissal and the unemployment situation
(benefit) (so for the moment not the rental situation and the starting of a new company)
