The deliverable for this section would be an outline of your finalreport. Provide an outline of the report that has brief descriptions ofeach section you will have for the final report. The purpose of thisoutline is to ensure that you are on track to have the projectcompleted.

You want this to be as polished as possible. So include a title page, a table of contents, page numbers, and references.

Stage Three

Final Product is to be a 6-8 page paper on your recommendations foryour Case Company. This could be no shorter than 6 pages but cannotexceed 8 pages (double spaced). The page count does not include titlepage, table of contents, references or appendices. (12%).

This is to be a report on the goal, its importance, why the companyshould care and how this company can move toward making a difference inthis area. Think of yourself as a consultant hired to help the companymeet the chosen goal. You will need to make a case as to why they needto change and how they can change.

In this type of report, you want to give the organization options.Usually a report would have three potential courses of action that varyin scale, complexity and cost. Think of it as a small budget change(little disruption), a moderately budget change (moderately disruptive)and a large budget change (disruptive).

Once you have given the options, you then choose the one that you think is best suited for the company at this time.
