Your Goal:
Through this report, you will use your research to explain and contextualize the problem. You will use your own discussion/ interpretation of that research to show that a problem does in fact exist. For example, you cannot merely choose Apple, a very successful company, and say that it is struggling without properly identifying and discussing the problem. Part of this assignment is convincing the reader and your team that this is a problem worth pursuing.
Content Requirements:
What should the content look like?
You are essentially building the foundations of a potential case, much like the cases we are reading in this class. Here is how you will break down the headings:
Background/Context:
Define your subject: Here you will give a history and overview of the company to present to your group members/classmates who did not research this business.
Give background info on the company, and include Key Players and Decision makers. Provide a solid context before moving into the problem.
Problem/Analysis (Primary Purpose)/
You need to have various subheadings here, and what you title them will be up to you. It will depend on what you find in your research. I cannot name them for you if I am not researching the company. You will have to decide. Do not have a one page section on “Analysis”; be specific with your headings.
In these sections, you will use your research (with APA citations) to show the depth of the problem.
Be sure to explain why this problem is worth looking at, especially if it is not an obvious problem. Use the same techniques we use in class for analysis.
You can include your own experiences or reactions to add to the discussion, but make sure the report is not overly narrative and use “I” sparingly (optional)
Include enough research/discussion to fulfill the length requirement. If you are finding it difficult to meet the length requirement, find more sources or better sources, and expand your discussion around the research.
Use quotes sparingly; 2-3 quotes max. Limit quotes to 4 lines or less; no block quotes.
Use paraphrase techniques more than quoting to avoid a high percentage of similarity on turnitin.com
Conclusion
You should have a short conclusion to wrap up the report and your findings. In this section, simply use persuasive argumentation: what final thoughts can you share to convince your classmates that this is a great business to look into for the group project?
Do NOT recommend solutions at any point in this report; you are just researching a company and potential problems in that company. in
I am looking for investigative research on problem and analysis only.
It should mirror the beginnings stages of a case study; solutions are never given in a case study.
If you jump ahead to solutions, then you are not meeting the objectives of this particular assignment.
Research Requirements:
A minimum of 3 credible sources/ maximum 4
*Make sure you are using the library resources to find your sources for your report. Do not use web sources.
