How to write a recommendation report for a company

create a Justification/Recommendation Report proposing a positive change you want to make in an organization in which you operate (military, business, civic, church, family unit, club, etc.)

Topics: (choose ONE):

new computer system or software upgrade,

new policy or procedure,

employee/member moral or team building initiatives,

other change that needs to be implemented within your organization, or

be creative!

Guidelines:

use APA style

may use direct or indirect strategy

Consider your audience’s likely reaction to

your ideas to help you choose and make a more impactful report.

Format:

Use memo style format with date, to, from, and subject.

Include headings for each of your sections (examples below):

1. Significance of Problem: explain the issue/problem you want to change.
2. Alternatives/Solutions 1, 2, and 3: this section should include three recommendations describing benefits

(pros), disadvantages (cons), and any costs associated with your solutions. This could be a strategic place to

include paraphrased or quoted content from a source to support your viewpoint or to show costs.
3. Conclusions and Recommendations: summarize your ideas and end with your specific recommendation.
4. Reference(s): a minimum one (1) reputable source must be cited and referenced in APA style to support your

ideas. Sources such as credible websites, or the textbook are acceptable. There should be at least one corresponding citation(s) showing paraphrased or quoted content used from each listed source(s).

The paper should be a minimum of one page in length. A title page is not required since you are using a memo style format for this assignment. A reference page is needed and is not included in the page count.
