Ultimately, you will?be answering the following?research question:

Should your “chosen company” be considered a threat by the competition in the industry? Why or why not? (NOTE:?this research question IS your “?Business?Report Topic” for your APA?Assignment)

3.?Make a?list of the strengths and?weaknesses?of your “chosen

company”?. While you will?likely?use some of your?personal?opinion content that you wrote for your Week?2?In-Class Assignment,?try?to?think?more?broadly?here and tie?in specific?business?issues and themes.

focuses on finding?resources and?using?proper citation,?but?it serves?as?the starting?point or foundation for this?Business?Report/Memo assignment.

5.?Write a draft of your?Business?Memo?(Competitive?Review),?USING the??resources you?identified in your APA Assignment. Your?Memo should?be?YOUR OWN WORDS. ?I want to?read?about YOUR?ideas?and?thoughts.

Your?Memo should?begin with the following 4?lines?(NOTE: these?lines?are NOT included?in the?required?page?length for this assignment).

Next, you will write the “?body” of your?Memo.??Use?headings to?organize the??content?in this section. ?This section should?be?2-4?pages?in?length,?but this???is?based on single-line spacing,?normal?margins and?12-pt font. ?You?can?use?pictures, charts, etc. to supplement your content,?but?they?will?not?count toward the?page?requirements.
