Research Based Report-Establishing a Drug Policy

The next writing assignment will be a research-based report that addresses a problem or issue within an organization. For this assignment, you will write a report of 2000-3000 words on a problem or issue within your workplace or community.

You will identify a problem or issue within your organization. This may be a current place of employment or a community group, such as a church, school, homeowner's association, daycare, recreation center, soccer team, or other group.

You will then include the following in the report:

·         define the problem persuasively and accurately

·         propose a solution or solutions to the problem or issue

·         present that solution to a decision-maker or group of decision-makers who can implement the recommendation.

The report will include the following components:

·         executive summary

·         transmittal letter or memo

·         table of contents

·         introduction

·         body of the report to include headings and subheadings

·         conclusion stated as a recommendation for implementation of the solution

·         References page, with references listed in APA format

The complete report should be 2000-3000 words, not including the list of references. The purpose of establishing a word count is to ensure the topic chosen is neither too big nor too small.

Also, writing within parameters is a common requirement in business communications.
