Each student will write a proposal to the instructor (in proper memo format–with intro, body, closing) on the scope of the suggested topic for the formal report. [Submit a proposal in memo format, word document with the clear file name, attached to an e-mail.] The proposal should, at a minimum, describe the following:

The topic: ( I want to write about Home-Based Business)

The need: describe the need driving the necessary change; the basic steps in implementing the change

Audience: an analysis of your intended audience for your topic; describe who would be able to implement your changes and/or suggestions

This proposal will be used to determine if your selected topic is approved if a modification to your topic is required, or if a different topic will be needed.
