SCENARIO: Imagine that your workplace has experienced significant change recently, and your department is expected to respond to change with innovation. Your immediate manager has asked you to determine one specific innovation for your department; you will be responsible for the implementation of this innovation.
ASSIGNMENT: You must create an informative report in which you identify the innovation that you would like to implement, and then compare and contrast two possible methods of implementation for the innovation. For example, if the innovation is implementing a new inventory database, your essay might compare and contrast two inventory management software products. This report should not include a recommendation, but instead should be strictly informative, offering a detailed comparison.
Draft double-spaced, 3-4-page (750-1000 words) informative comparison/contract report in which you:
Include an introduction that informs readers of the problem to be solved and the innovation that you have proposed.
The introduction should end with a thesis statement that conveys the two methods of implementation you will be comparing and contrasting, as well as the 2-3 factors of comparison/contrast that you will be discussing.
For example, if the innovation you’d like to implement is more rapid communication between teams, you could discuss two different instant messaging tools that the company could implement and compare/contrast them through the lenses of cost, usability, and efficiency.
Include 4-6 body paragraphs organized according to either the point-by-point or block method for comparison/contrast writing, which you learned about in this unit.
Using APA format, cite and reference 2-4 credible primary or secondary sources that you used to learn about these methods of implementation and the points of comparison/contrast you chose.
End with a concluding paragraph that restates your thesis in different words and provides a closing thought.
Write in the informative mode throughout the composition, using objective language.
Minimize mechanical and stylistic errors.
