Communication Strategy Assignment 8: Business Proposal

Assignment Overview

Using the information provided in the text in Chapter 12 and 13, you should create and submit a mechanically and grammatically flawless business proposal.

Your topic should have already been submitted and approved; topics not approved will not be graded.

The proposal should:

• Be no less than five single-spaced pages, not including the cover page. Note that this is not a dense page of text; your pages should include good use of white space, headers, bullet points, tables and graphs.
• Have a professional style and presentation. (You may use an established template in Word; if you do not use a template, please make sure that your headings, fonts, margins, headers, etc. are consistent. Professional presentation and style in this report is very important.)
• Use some external sourcing, but be sure to use proper citations. (APA style required. Consult Purdue OWL if you have questions about this: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/purdue_owl.html (Links to an external site.))
