This week you will continue to work on your Final Project which is due in Week 7. By Day 7 you will submit a business memo written to your Instructor that explains how you plan to incorporate your learning from the week into your Final Project. 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:
Be sure to record good notes in your Final Project Portfolio including a brief analysis of why your recommendations are important. Please make sure you describe the type of organizational structure(s) and processes that your organization is currently utilizing as well as any assumptions you have made.
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 5 Assignment will typically be 1.53 pages (0.751 pages if single spaced) excluding a title page (not required for this Assignment) and references.

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.
