A Recommendation report
Before I get into the instructions here are a few things to remember that
will cause me to deny the answer:
Copy and pasted material
If the final report does not look like the sample report
***If you use any other source for this report other than
pictures I will not accept it***. It does not matter if you cite
the work or not I WILL NOT ACCEPT IT. I AM NOT LOOKING
FOR ANY MATERIAL FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE PERIOD.
For this writing assignment, you will select a scenario, prepare a
recommendation report to address the problems in the scenario.
Here’s a hint to help you get started… you can start with
Consumer Reports! But…you will still have to do research and
analysis.
You will develop a recommendation report that contains a:
• Letter or memo of transmittal
• Cover and title page
• Abstract
• Table of contents
• Executive Summary
• Body containing introduction, methods, results, conclusions, and
recommendations (56 pages)
• List of figures, illustrations, or graphics (must have at least 4)
• Criteria must include 4 necessary and 3 desirable and be
presented in a matrix
• References
• Glossary
• Appendix
Here is the Scenario: The small independent publishing company
where you work as a writer/editor and sometimes tech support has
fallen way behind on its technology…and the lack of the latest
cool stuff is starting to generate some serious grumbling among the
employees. You’ve been assigned the task of evaluating the needs
of the company and then recommending options for upgrades and
improvements. The office printer/fax is new, but none of the
employees has had a computer upgrade for some time. Your report
will focus on computers.
The boss has the nice office, but is on the road most of the time,
checking for new clients and following up with the sales team.
There are 3 sales people, an administrative assistant, and 5
writer/editors who work mainly in the office. They are responsible
not only for document design and layout, but frequently develop
graphics for clients, so one of them is a graphic designer. There is
also a bookkeeper who handles the billing and finance needs of the
company. The boss wants the best he can possibly get, but there’s a
catch…the budget must stay under $6,000.00.
Develop your research into a recommendation report that makes
a final specific recommendation…well justified!
*Something very important*…
Here is the sample report that yours should look VERY similar
to. Once you copy and paste this link into your browser you
should be able to view an entire book. The link is posted
BELOW. If this link does not work for you don’t worry it is also
posted on course hero along with this question. The Sample
report starts on the bottom of page 487-page 511. If it does not
look similar to this sample lengthwise and organization wise
THEN IT IS WRONG!! If done correctly I will definitely tip very
well for this assignment.
