  • “Persuasive Proposal: Addressing a Problem and Encouraging Action for Positive Impact”

    Formal Report Assignment
    Length: 10 pages (body should be 5 pages) single-spaced
    Initial Contributions to Draft: due by April 14 (25 points)
    Complete Rough Draft: due by Sunday, April 21 (50 points) Final Individual Reports: due by Sunday, April 28 (150 points)
    When writing proposals, remember that they must be persuasive, not merely descriiptions. Like the persuasive sales message assignment (Chapter 8), effective proposals must get the reader’s attention, show the problem, and demonstrate how the proposal will help. Present ideas clearly and logically, making it easy for the reader to understand. Anticipate the needs of the audience. Your goal is to share key findings that are relevant to your audience with the goal of persuading them to act. What matters to the audience? How will this benefit or impact them?
    In the formal report, you will include the following required parts (for details about each, see section 10-6 in the textbook):
    Cover (be creative)
    Title Page (include title of the paper, name of the organization or individual the proposal is submitted to, author names, and date)
    Table of Contents
    Executive summary (a quick paragraph of overview — no more than 10 lines of text on its own page)
    Introduction (HINT: write introductions after the body and conclusion)
    Get the reader’s attention
    Provide any relevant background information
    Give an overview of the purpose and scope of the proposal
    Body (*start the paper here and then do other sections — should be approx. 5 pages)
    Show the problem
    Show who is impacted
    Demonstrate why this topic deserves funding
    Make the proposal — show what needs to be done [optional: show multiple possible solutions then recommend one]
    Describe the benefits of your proposal — show how it will help
    Conclusion/Recommendation (including a request for authorization to take next steps)
    OPTIONAL: Appendix (any extra materials you want to include)
    References (use APA format)
    Follow the format for the formal reports as described in the textbook. Include clear headings to divide the sections and lead readers through the report. You may create any infographics or use graphics from sources (just be sure to cite everything in APA format). Reports must include information from at least 4 academic sources (sources that cite other sources in a works cited page or list of references). Any facts included in your report should be cited in APA format. The citations should follow APA format, so review the format in Appendix B. The goal of the proposal is to persuade your audience to take action related to your topic.
    The body portion of the report should be approximately 5 pages single-spaced, but should include graphics and headings as part of the content. The finished paper is likely to be around 10 pages long. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to help with the research process, with content questions, with proofreading decisions, etc. If you were at work, you would not be writing alone. Reach out to people you trust to give you feedback as you work.

  • Title: Decision Analysis for Hard Rock Hotels: Choosing the Best Land Option for a New Airport Site in Segovia

    The city of Segovia is contemplating building a second airport to relieve congestion at the main airport and is considering two potential sites, X and Y. Hard Rock Hotels would like to purchase land to build a hotel at the new airport. The value of land has been rising in anticipation and is expected to skyrocket once the city decides between sites X and Y. Consequently, Hard Rock would like to purchase land now. Hard Rock will sell the land if the city chooses not to locate the airport nearby. Hard Rock has four choices: (1) buy land at X, (2) buy land at Y, (3) buy land at both X and Y, or (4) do nothing. Hard Rock has collected the following data (which are in millions of euros):
    Hard Rock Hotel Choices
    SITE X
    SITE Y
    Current purchase price
    27
    15
    Profits if airport and hotel built at this site
    45
    30
    Sales price if airport not built at this site
    9
    6
    Hard Rock determines there is a 45% chance the airport will be built at X (hence, a 55% chance it will be built at Y).
    Set up the decision table.
    What should Hard Rock decide to do to maximize total net profit?
    How much should Hard Rock be willing to pay for accurate information (i.e. What is the Expected Value of Perfect Information, EVPI?)? Please type your answers into a Word document.

  • “Innovation Ecosystem Analysis and Proposal: Applying Theoretical Frameworks to Drive Strategic Thinking” “Innovating in the Ecosystem: A Pragmatic Approach Using Theoretical Perspectives” “Group Formation and Management Protocol in Online Courses”

    Rationale By engaging in this group project, you are tasked with not only identifying but also critically analyzing an innovative idea within a chosen ecosystem. This process encourages the application of theories such as disruptive innovation, blue ocean strategy, or effectuation in a real-world context. Through this, the assessment aims to enhance your abilities to think strategically about innovation, understand its impact on ecosystems, and develop practical solutions for implementation, fostering a deeper comprehension of how theoretical frameworks guide the evolution of ecosystems. Overview In this group project, “Innovation Ecosystem Analysis and Proposal,” you and your team will explore an ecosystem of your choice. As part of a group of five, you’ll identify an innovation—be it a product, process, service, or business model. Your journey will begin with mapping the current landscape of your chosen ecosystem, followed by the unveiling of your innovation idea. You’ll then craft an execution scenario on how to implement this innovation, and predict how it will transform the ecosystem. This assignment integrates theory with practice, challenging you to use concepts like disruptive innovation, blue ocean strategy, or effectuation to bring your innovative idea to life. Through a written report, you’ll showcase your strategic thinking and how it can influence the ecosystem’s future. Task Components Ecosystem Description ~1000 words (10 points): Task: Describe the selected ecosystem, including its key components, actors, and dynamics. Criteria: Comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem’s current state, clarity in the description of its components, and insight into the interconnections within the ecosystem. Innovation Idea Identification ~1000 words (10 points): Task: Identify and articulate an innovation idea within the ecosystem. Criteria: Originality of the innovation idea, relevance to the ecosystem, and alignment with one of the theoretical perspectives discussed in the course. Execution Scenario ~1000 words (10 points): Task: Develop an execution scenario for the implementation of the innovation idea. Criteria: Feasibility of the implementation strategy, consideration of potential challenges and solutions, and a clear outline of the required steps for successful implementation. Ecosystem Evolution Analysis ~500 words (5 points): Task: Analyze the potential impact of the innovation on the ecosystem. Criteria: Depth of analysis on how the innovation could alter the ecosystem dynamics, identification of potential ripple effects, and insight into the future state of the ecosystem post-implementation. Collaborative Effort and Reporting (5 points): Task: Collaboratively prepare and submit a report that effectively communicates your group’s findings. Criteria: Clarity and coherence in the discussion of ideas, effectiveness of collaboration as demonstrated in the final output, and professionalism in the format and delivery.

Technical Quality: The file should be free of technical issues, with good layout and readability, and any visual aids used should be clear and relevant to the content being presented. Tip #1: Approach the task as if you are part of a team of innovation consultants working for a firm, analyzing the ecosystem with a professional mindset on behalf of your employer or client. Alternatively, approach it as if you are the founding team of a new venture, aiming to launch a business built upon an innovative idea. Tip #2: Use the theoretical perspectives learned from Weeks 5 to 8 as a guiding framework for discovering and executing opportunities. Allow these concepts and theories to shape your innovation strategy for the ecosystem without overwhelming it. You don’t need to discuss the theories in detail, but make sure to connect your discussion to them, ensuring a clear link. Focus on applying theory pragmatically to guide your opportunity discovery and execution strategy, keeping practicality in mind. We do not expect you to review the literature or the theories and concepts. Learning Outcomes The targeted Course Learning Outcomes for this assessment are: CLO 1 Apply relevant theories to critically distinguish between innovative and non-innovative entrepreneurship. CLO 2 Examine various types of innovative entrepreneurship in practice and their implications for entrepreneurs. CLO 3 Demonstrate understanding of the interrelationships between entrepreneurs, organisations, customers and communities in a local and global context through “entrepreneurial ecosystem” perspective.

  • “Revising and Polishing a Research Proposal: Incorporating Feedback and Improving the Introduction and Literature Review Sections”

    -Instruction Revision is one of the most important aspects of writing a research paper – oftentimes, we need the initial drafts to simply get ideas out and get words on paper; we use revision to then clarify, re-arrange, organize, and fine-tune what we mean to say. You have produced two distinct sections of a research paper so far, an introduction that acts as a research problem statement as well as a literature review. Now is the time to pull those two together, use the feedback received to revise and improve the work, and polish up any “little picture” issues that need to be fixed (grammar, punctuation, formatting errors, etc.).
    Using the feedback you have received over the course of the semester from your instructor, as well as the tips discussed in this unit’s assigned reading, revise, edit, and proofread your research proposal. Be sure to include each section that has been covered this semester (Introduction/Research Problem Statement and Literature Review), as well as a cover page (if writing in APA format) or proper header (if in MLA format). Include your References or Works Cited page at the end. Use Purdue OWL Links to an external site. as necessary to ensure your paper is fully APA/MLA formatted.
    *****Only need revision on the introduction paragraph*****
    The following is the feedback on the paper
    ******write an opening paragraph of literature where briefly state what exactly you (a researcher) are going to do, how many sources you are going to use and why you choose them. It means you will be talking about authenticity of your sources and giving them a picture of your Literature Review before actual start.******
    Thank you!
