The next writing assignment will be a research-based report that addresses a problem or
issue within an organization. For this assignment, you will write a report of 2000-3000 words on
a problem or issue within your workplace or community.
You will identify a problem or issue within your organization. This may be a current place of
employment or a community group, such as a church, school, homeowner’s association, daycare,
recreation center, soccer team, or other group.
You will then include the following in the report:
define the problem persuasively and accurately
propose a solution or solutions to the problem or issue
present that solution to a decision-maker or group of decision-makers who can implement
the recommendation.
The report will include the following components:
executive summary
transmittal letter or memo
table of contents
introduction
body of the report to include headings and subheadings
conclusion stated as a recommendation for implementation of the solution
References page, with references listed in APA format
The complete report should be 2000-3000 words, not including the list of references. The
purpose of establishing a word count is to ensure the topic chosen is neither too big nor too
small.
Also, writing within parameters is a common requirement in business communications.
The complete report should also cite at least five sources. At least one of them should come from
peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. Your sources can also include interviews. The sources will be
integrated into the paper to explain the problem, provide evidence of the problem, and support
the solution. If you are having trouble locating scholarly sources for your topic, you can let me
know during the weeks leading up to the due date for the report. I can try to help you or work
with you on integrating sources.
