Formal Analytical Report

Order Description Now that you and your partner(s) have completed your proposal, you are to complete a formal analytical report. You will develop a formal analysis of your proposed solutions. The analytical report should provide recommendations based on comprehensive analyses and criteria (e.g. function, ease of use, impact on the environment, economic impact, organization impact, cost, etc.) of the possible solutions. You are required to present evidence on the pros and cons of your chosen solutions in relation to current practices and alternative. Then make a case for or against the adoption of your solutions by your particular company in the form of recommendations. In this scenario, you are helping your organization’s senior decision-makers choose one course of action over another. You are the expert on the technologies/processes, but you must present the information in a way that a non-expert (your supervisor) would understand. Please review the marking guide carefully. Your report should be around 2,000 words in length. Word count does not include your “front matter” (e.g. title page, table of contents) or your “back matter” (e.g. bibliography and appendices). The bibliography will be a list of the sources you used in your research. You MUST properly cite in the text where you use your sources. You must use a minimum of five sources, including the following: ? One book ? One academic journal article (electronic or print) ? One reliable website (not Wikipedia or similar sites) ? One newspaper or magazine article (he article should be fairly substantial in length and content) Your fifth source can be any of the above. You may use more than five sources. NOTE: Online encyclopaedias, including Wikipedia, Answers.com, and How Things Work, should be avoided in academic research. In general, encyclopaedias are not considered academic sources.
