Forecasting Adoption of Telepresence Robot Technology (bass forecasting)

In 2016, Microsoft explores the possible entry into the remote telepresence robot market. Using the Bass forecasting model, students must develop a 10 year forecast for robotic telepresence penetration in the US market based on a scenario that they develop (pessimistic, optimistic, etc. scenario for adoption). Using these forecasts, the student must then make recommendations to Microsoft for a strategy to pursue.
