In the business world, you must be able to identify and solve problems based upon factual evidence. You will have to conduct business research to obtain the facts and evidence that lead you to conclusions and recommendations as solutions. Once you have developed your solution(s), you must “sell” them to decision-makers within the business organization. The purpose of this project is to allow you the opportunity to experience completing such a project by submitting a written report and an oral (video) presentation.
For this project, you will submit a minimum nine-page paper using APA format guidelines for citations and references on a topic of your choice regarding a situation in your workplace, college, or community where you have identified a need for improvement. Select a project that you can complete within the 6-week deadline for the draft report.
In the first week, you will submit your project proposal for approval and feedback from your instructor. Once approved, you can begin researching information and collecting evidence. Your project must include primary data and secondary data. You will need to include cost information and justification for allocating funds based on the benefits realized from implementing your recommendations. You do not have to implement the recommendations as part of this project; only submit a report and presentation to “management” to approve your recommendations.
