Part I

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word Research-Driven Formal Report (follow the model offered in Ch. 18 of Workplace Writing) that proposes a change to the workplace or proposes a new initiative using the components of ethical business communication.

Your report should look similar to the example in Ch.18 of Workplace Writing, although it will only contain some, not all, of the sections listed in the chapter. It must include the following headings:

·       Title page

·       Introduction

·       Discussion

·       Conclusion/Recommendation

·       Reference Page

Note. The cover page and references pages will not count toward your final word count.

If you have not done so already, refer to the outline template posted in Week 3 for some ideas about what elements belong in each section.

Format your paper consistent with appropriate course-level APA guidelines.
