Business Report – Students will review and select a topic from the business-related topics provided by the faculty. They will write an effective formal report inclusive of the following parts: title page, table of contents, executive summary, body with at least one page with graphic/s, and appropriate referencing (APA or MLA style). The total of the body is three to five pages not including the title page, table of contents, executive summary, and reference page. (15%)

You should pick a current business issue to research and write about for your paper. You may choose a topic that is related to your group presentation but it should not be exactly what your group presentation is focused on.For example, let’s say your group presentation is focused on the technology problems related to signing up for coverage under the Affordable Healthcare Act. Your paper could be on another, related topic such as the government accounting/tracking of the new law or the financial need to have younger people sign up for coverage.

Your paper should also relate to the main topic in this class, business communication. So, if your paper is on the Affordable Healthcare Act, you should include some discussion on a business communication related topic, such as an analysis of the communication with the public on issues/problems. Please approach this in a dispassionate, businesslike way – be balanced and leave your politics (and emotions) out of your paper, as much as possible (I realize everyone has strong opinions, but in business communication, we try to be balanced, objective, and analytical before finalizing any position).

Please remember that the paper will be graded based on: 10 points for directions, 20 points for writing mechanics, and 70 points for content. Please submit the paper using the Turnitin link on the Content page.
