Case After Sarita Chatterjee graduated with a BSc in Information Systems
from the University of South Africa, she was appointed as a Business Analyst
at Culinary Bargain. Culinary Bargain sells coupons for use at popular South
African restaurants and earns a 25% commission on each sale. For example,
if Culinary Bargain sells a R200.00 meal coupon discounted by 20%, they
earn R40.00 from the R160.00 sale. Recently, Sarita has been tasked with
ideating a corporate social responsibility (CSR) project to contribute to the
company’s goal of societal improvement. Sarita conceptualised two projects,
Project T and Project O, to support hunger relief. In the project charter, Sarita
cites Stats SA’s (2023) report on the increasing number of households
experiencing hunger. The report mentions South Africa’s high unemployment
rate and energy crisis as factors that increase the cost of living. According to
the report: almost 17,9 million households in SA in 2021, almost 80 percent
(14,2 million) reported that they had adequate access to food, while 15
percent (2,6 million) and 6 percent (1,1 million) stated that they have
inadequate and severe inadequate access to food, respectively. (stats sa,
2023, para. 4) In the project charter, Sarita suggests extending Culinary
Bargain’s website and app to incorporate the marketing and selling of meal
coupons. Clients, when shopping for discounted coupons, will be presented
with the option to contribute an additional amount (2.5% of the meal price) that
is credited to hunger relief coupons. Hunger relief coupons are to be used by
a beneficiary1 experiencing hardship. Sarita suggests the design of a platform
to be used by the beneficiary, which is integrated into the main payment
system. The beneficiary platform will include, among other features, an
interface that shows the coupon’s progress towards being exchanged for a
meal. See Figure 1 below. 1 To become eligible as a beneficiary, applicants
need to submit a police clearance certificate, present information to prove
income, expenses, and assets, and then undergo an interview. 3 INF3708-24-
