Instructions
<ol style="margin-top: 0cm;" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Choose a company to make a recommendation to. This company can be any actual existing company, but should not be a fictional one. It must be real because you will need to research the company.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Choose an idea to evaluate for this company. Whatever idea you choose it MUST be one the company does not currently use. Some possible ideas include:</li>
<ul type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt;">A sustainable energy source, product or policy for the company to use.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt;">A new marketing strategy for a demographic the company does not currently target.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt;">A social media platform or technology for the company to use.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt;">A new business model or strategy, such as drop shipping.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt;">Your own idea (check with the facilitator first!)</li>
</ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Research the company, your idea, and whether they would work well together. Your research and documentation should be informed by the material from Module 8: Sources and Documentation (APA) and Module 9: Research and Reports Part 1.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Based on your research, decide what your recommendation will be. Is the idea a good fit for this company? Your answer does not have to be yes. If the idea seems good, then recommend it. If the research suggests that the idea is a bad fit for the company, then your recommendation will be to not pursue the idea.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Write a report based on your research, findings and recommendation. The report should be written in 12 pt in a professional looking font. Use the guidelines and sample from Module 10: Research and Reports Part 2 to guide your structure and formatting. You are to write an analytical, formal, and indirect report. Again, Module 10 will be key for structuring your report. Your report must use APA referencing. You have to convince your audience (the board and/or CEO of the company you have researched) to follow your recommendation, so be specific about costs, savings, and benefits. Include an appendix with relevant supplementary information that supports your recommendation. Document your sources (at least three) using APA style in-text citations and a References page. The parts of your report should be as follows:</li>
<ul type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt;">Title Page</li>

</ul>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Revise and edit your report carefully.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Submit your report to this submission folder by the end of Module 11.</li>
</ol>
