business proposal

Write a proposal in which you explore a real problem at a company or organization with which you are familiar. You will propose to find a solution for that problem. The problem may involve a policy, procedure, product line, or piece of equipment; or the organizations structure, mission, or market. Successful proposals will

demonstrate that there is a problem (i.e., provide evidence of its existence and its impact on the company/organization);
provide background, reasons, and evidence for your proposal to find a solution to that problem (ie. explain why you think this problem could be solved); and
anticipate objections.
Remember that this proposal should focus on the problem and how you might find an appropriate solution. DO NOT WRITE ABOUT THE SOLUTION YET. In your business memo later in the semester, you will present your findings and a solution. Business writing should always be action-oriented, and so be sure that you propose next steps at the end of your email.

The proposal should be addressed to someone in a position to act on it. The document should be no more than 200 words in length (including the heading). It should be attractively designed, using subheadings and Munter and Hamiltons tips on the use of white space for high skim value.
