Write a memo proposal (in which you request authorization to research a real problem at a company or organization with which you are familiar. See the topic material and topic I attached below). This might involve adopting a new organizational structure, policy, procedure, product line, or piece of equipment; or pursuing a new mission, market, or line of research. Successful proposals will
1.demonstrate that there is a problem (i.e., provide evidence of its existence and its impact on the company/organization);
2.propose how to research the problem if authorized to proceed, including resources needed; and
3.anticipate objections and provide background, reasons, and evidence for the proposal.
The proposal should be addressed to someone in a position to act on it. The document should be 250-350 words in length, double-spaced. It should be attractively designed, using subheadings and Munter’s tips on the use of white space for high skim value.
