Description

• Upload Assignment: Week 5 Assignment 2.2 - Submit Here –...
• In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods.
• In  Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor's suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis,  and References.
• 
  
• Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize  your responses to each question under the following section headings:
•                                                              
• Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)                                                             
• Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)                                                             
• References (for Question 6)                            
• 
  
• Using the provided  template, write Part 2 of a single-spaced report in which you:
•                                                              
• Include and revise the sections from Assignment 2.1 (Problem Statement,  Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods) per instructor suggestions.                                                             
• Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you've identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research.                                                                  
•                                                                      
• Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments.                                                                                             
• Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria.                                                                                                                                       
• Example: If your research revealed that four (4) companies similar to yours  increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three  days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in  this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one  of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem  you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s  Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to  be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily,  in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always  there for you!”                                
•                                                              
• Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next,  explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc.                                                                                                                                       
• Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two  [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below,  should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations  and follow up with references in APA style):
• Evaluation of  Alternatives                                                                            
• Productivity                                                                                                                                                                                                    
• Alternative A: Telework from home three (3) days per week
