My topic of this paper is to go e-commercial for a local clothing store.

You will write a 10+ page proposal to educate employees or your supervisor about a new aspect of your field (backed by research and planning) and some indication of how the workplace needs to change to support this. For your proposal you will need to research the topic from at least 5+ sources offering insight on the topic or the field alongside some insight into what your workplace looks like. If you are not currently working in such an environment or don't otherwise have access to a workplace in your field, you may offer some information about the type of workplace that is typical to your field of work. You will use this research in order to offer your gathered knowledge about this topic to the audience and persuade them that your topic deserves serious study. Your proposal should include images, charts, or graphs.

The proposal should follow the outline below:

· Introduction/Purpose - Introduce your topic to the reader and indicate what need the topic is seeking to address and why you are choosing to propose this topic now.

· Problem/Current state - In this section you must describe what sort of problem, issue, or current state of affairs the topic will be addressing. This could be as big an issue as loss of revenue or a lack of sustainability, to smaller (yet also important) concerns such as increasing efficiency or getting the jump on an issue before it becomes a huge problem. To adequately convince your readers that the issue needs to be addressed you will need to use plenty of details about the current state of the field or your workplace to show you understand how the topic will have an impact. The details here can be collected from your own empirical research of the workplace or through external research of trends or issues in your field.

· Solution or Plan - In this section you will describe the topic in detail and how its adoption will have an impact on the workplace or the field. This will be backed by your research on the topic and should include details showing that you are looking into the feasibility of adopting that new technology, process, idea, etc. This section will always include a costs/benefits subsection detailing what the company has to gain from following your proposal and some costs you envision will need to be covered. Remember that costs are not just monetary, but can also include things like time, energy/effort, personnel, and research. In the workplace a proposal will not always have all the answers, but will offer enough data and research to seem feasible to the readers and persuade them to look further into your plan (if not adopt it wholesale).

· Conclusion - Restate the major points of the document and remind your reader on the importance of the issue and the need for action. A critical section for proposals, even more so than other business documents as your reader will need to make a choice to accept or reject your proposal after reading it.
