Create a 2-3 page proposal that analyzes your business topic, defines the scope and strategy for how you will go about your capstone project, and explains how your proposed project allows you to demonstrate the MBA program outcomes.
Based on the feedback you received from faculty on your capstone summary in Assessment 1, you should now have a firm grasp on the scope of your project. In fact, if someone asks you what your project is about, you should have an “elevator speech” prepared. That is, you should have memorized 1–3 sentences that explain the topic, problem, and scope in a clear and concise way. With just these few sentences, explaining your project to someone while on a short elevator ride would be no trouble at all! Additionally, having such a clear vision will help you with this assessment and the project overall.
Write a business proposal that formally proposes your capstone project and ends by asking for permission to continue, just as you might propose a project to a supervisor or client.
Include, at minimum, the following information:
Analyze a business challenge or opportunity.
Include an introduction about your proposal.
Summarize the capstone project topic, scope, and components; saying that your capstone will comprise a paper and presentation is not enough.
Establish the premise of your paper; for example, if your plan is to talk about how Dillard’s department store can come back after a huge financial loss, you should include citations that establish its dramatic financial loss.
Define the strategy, scope, and action plan that you will use to complete the capstone project.
Provide a general action plan on how you will research, analyze, and identify recommendations or solutions to this business challenge or opportunity.
Discuss the general type of data sources you will be using to inform your analysis. Provide at least two specific sources that you are considering. These resources should be from credible sources such as the Wall Street Journal, IBIS, et cetera. Use the excellent Research Guide – MBA for locating credible resources from the Capella library’s business databases and article collections.
Include the process or steps on how you will access the data necessary for analysis of a business topic or challenge.
Write a conclusion.
Include a wrap-up that ensures your supervisor/client that your project will meet all requirements, be valuable to them, and be completed on time.
Be sure to conclude by asking for permission to continue to the next step.
Your proposal should be organized using these sections:
Introduction.
Summary.
Discussion of the Proposal.
Strategy and Scope.
Action Plan.
Conclusion.
Style: Your proposal should follow professional style, as described in the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines (available in the MBA Program Resources), including single-spaced paragraphs. It should use subheadings and be well organized and well written.
Communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message and quality.
APA guidelines: Format your citations according to current APA style.
Resources: Use at least two citations from credible sources.
Length: Your proposal should be 2–3 pages (single-spaced, professional style).
Font and font size: Use 12 point, Times New Roman.
Please refrence the first assesment that is written, and write the paper off of the topics that were wirtten in there

You may choose from any of the three topics:
1. Constant communication and information is in high demand! As a pool builder in a business where
scheduling workers and subcontractors is based on many factors, including weather delays, how would
you effectively and efficiently keep customers informed?
2. Equipment theft from job sites is a concern to many pool builders, with losses in the tens of thousands of
dollars. What strategies would you use to prevent theft? What technological innovations could be used? 
3. The Florida Swims Foundation needs 3,000 pre-orders of the Swim for Life specialty license plate
by October 1 to secure a new avenue of annual funds for swim lessons. With the deadline quickly
approaching, how would you promote the plate and secure enough pre-orders? Who are your target
audiences?

As you are undoubtedly coming to realize, the role of national identity in a global society can be hard to define and discuss. On the world stage and throughout history, governments of all kinds have sought to preserve their national identity and important cultural values through laws, policy, and practice. In some cases, these efforts are lauded and celebrated by individual citizens. In other cases, these efforts are challenged as isolationist or even harmful to individuals and individual rights.
ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION
Research a nationalist movement in a foreign government that seeks to preserve some elements of culture or identity. Be sure that you can identify the movement’s concerns and goals. France, England, Hungary, and Greece are just a few examples of such movements in Europe. Find situations in which individuals have celebrated these efforts as well as situations in which these efforts have been a cause for concern. 
Using your research, respond to the following statement:
Should governments play a role in preserving national traditions and values? Why?
Explain and support your response with source material from the course and your research.
