ASSIGNMENT #1A – MEMO REPORT TOPIC & WORK PLAN

35 points

See pages 320-321 for details of a work plan. Page 321 has an example of a Statement of Purpose/Work Plan. Your work plan, however, should be formatted as a MEMO.

This memo is required to have an appropriate memo letterhead and the following four sections:

1. A description of the proposed topic and purpose of the report pp317-319.
2. Description of the audience for the report pp319-320.
3. Description of the sources and methods of collecting data pp322-334.
4. Work schedule – see the example on p321.

The example on page 321 has a section called “Statement of Problem.” You may or may not be addressing a particular business problem. If you are not, eliminate the “Statement of Problem” section.

Also, do not include the section entitled “Tentative Outline” that is seen on the example on page 321.
