Purpose of the Course Project: Solving a business problem for someone
who is receptive to your recommendations is an excellent way to improve
your professional effectiveness and get ahead. Learning how to identify
problems and propose solutions will benefit you now and in the future.
Part 3 of 4: The Final Project Report should conform to your text’s Ch. 10 guidelines of how to write a formal report. Note that the format is quite different
from an academic paper. (spacing, graphics, each section begins new page, etc)
The Rosewood Restaurant Group in the Ch. 10 of the text is a good model to
follow for format. Do not use it for content or language.
Directions for Part 3: 1. Consider how best to present your findings on this opportunity for the
organization, the viable alternatives, the benefits and risks, and your strategic
recommendations. 2. Follow this basic outline for the Formal Project Report. Refer to Ch. 10 for a
more detailed guide and expectations for the Formal Report (see The Rosewood
Restaurant Group example).
