1.

In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following

sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods.

2.

In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructors suggestions (You have
already revised it) and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives,
Findings and Analysis, and References.

3.

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper (I provided you in Part 1 - Use it
from there). 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)

Write a two (2) pages, single-spaced report (approx 1000-1200 words) in which you:

Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that youve identified in
your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during
research.

1.
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.

1.
Example: If your research revealed that four 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 highpotential solution to a problem youve identified (of decreased worker morale and
productivity at Does Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a
recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a 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 companys 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.

1.
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).

2.
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):

7. Briefly summarize in narrative form the major discoveries that emerged from the
Evaluation of Alternatives section.

10. Include an APA style (6th edition) References page that documents the one (1) primary
source and three (3) secondary sources that you used and cited in-text in your Evaluation of
Alternatives section. Remember that both in-text citations and References must be included
(to avoid plagiarism) whenever you are directly quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing
researched material.
Your assignment must:

Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on
all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with
your professor for any additional instructions.

Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professors name,
the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the
required assignment page length.
