This will not be a perfect synopsis at this point but it should capture the main themes and important ideas from the week. Your memo should include the following:
Note: If you are unable to find relevant information you may want to look for similar information at /for other similar publically traded companies. You may find relevant information that will enable you to make appropriate inferences about your organization and make reasonable assumptions so you can proceed with your project.
If you have questions about how to apply what you are learning or how to find the most relevant information for your organizations needs please discuss your choice with your Instructor using the Contact the Instructor link in the classroom.
General Guidance on Assignment Length: Your Week 3 Assignment will typically be 1.53 pages (0.751 page(s) if single spaced) excluding a title page (not required for this Assignment) and references.
As a best practice for this course as you engage and complete your weekly activities you will capture notes on your learning for each week and add them to your Final Project Portfolio which you will use to formulate your Final Project. By the time you turn in your Final Project in Week 7 your working Final Project Portfolio document will contain your notes on the resources you found relevant in each week as well as your ideas for how your organization can improve its business information systems management with respect to each weeks main themes. You should also include your analyses of the implications of your recommendations as well as reasons why your recommendations are important. You will update your Final Project Portfolio each week.
This week you are encouraged to begin setting up your presentation in PowerPoint. You should complete a title slide and 12 slides with your preliminary recommendations for your organization as they relate to this weeks learning.
