Paper details ore Assessment – Problem-Solution Business Report with Research Due Date: By 11:59m., Sunday, CT. The final assignment in this course will bring together all the business communication skills you have learned throughout the term. Your final writing project for this course is a 9-10 page formal business report in which you will: specify a real organization you have worked in/with OR use an instructor suggested or textbook option identify a real problem or situation within that organization that needs addressing conduct research to help you analyze the problem and weigh possible solutions describe the problem and recommend a course of action in a formal report that targets a specific decision-making audience within the organization INSTRUCTOR NOTE: You are NOT REQUIRED to choose an idea from an organization where you do or have worked. If you have a good idea for a report from work, and it will meet the criteria (research), then I will give you positive feedback. If not, I will steer you toward the country assignment that is posted in FILES or an idea from the text book. In regards to thinking about this final assignment, the instructor (me) cares much more about you establishing a problem-solution set up than in choosing a subject from your work place or personal experience. I look forward to the brainstorming and will add an assignment to files for further exploration. SUBMIT MICROSOFT WORD FILES ONLY: NO PDFs!!! Any PDF or non-Word submissions will receive a zero. How do I choose an organization? You get to choose your problem and organizational context you wish to write in, but the important thing is that you choose an organization you actually are familiar with as a participant, as this tends to make better reports. You don’t want to just choose a random company like Nike if you have never worked for them, as you will not be able to really identify an actual problem within the company, or be able to suggest solutions that would actually work in that particular organization. You also wouldn’t have any ideas about how to persuade your audience, as you likely would not know who your report would be directed to or what their needs, expectations, beliefs, or values are. You can choose organizations you currently work for or have worked for in the past, but you might also consider other organizations that you are involved with, for example, non-profit or religious organizations, military branches, student groups, parent groups, clubs, or hobbyist organizations. Sometimes students have not had jobs before – that is ok, as you have certainly been part of some organization in your lifetime; in fact, you are part of an organization right now by participating in this class! Park University does count as an organization you are part of and can propose solutions to. What makes a good problem? This is an important question to really think about as not every problem makes for a good report. One thing to consider is whether a formal report would even be appropriate or necessary to solve the problem you have identified. Some problems are fairly easily solved, have obvious solutions, or do not require research to find a solution. You want to choose problem that is Researchable Not yes/no or too obviously solved A real problem that affects actual people, or that affect the organization’s productivity, effectiveness, morale, or profitability
