Collaborative Analysis Prompt

Research Proposal

Research proposals are near ubiquitous in almost any field. Return to the persuasive skills we have already worked on and convince the company, via me, that hiring you to do this analysis is worth their time and money. You will need to do an initial research to learn more about the company and to identify the problem you feel they need to solve. That problem is key. You cannot complete this assignment without it. Once you have completed the Research Activity as a group, write an email to me in which you outline the resources, audiences, problems, and solutions that will be part of your analysis of one organization that you will select as a group. Why did you choose that organization? What can you offer that organization in your analysis and how will you go about finding what you need to write an effective and thorough report on the organization?
