Assignment: Final Project—Business Memo—Organizational Structures and Processes
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:
Your ideas and recommendations on how your organization can modify its present organizational structures
to be more efficient and effective in the future, making better use of information and information systems for
decision making
Your recommendations for alternative approaches the organization might take to promote and implement
better processes to support better decision making within the current organizational structure(s)
Other relevant recommendations or issues that you identified, as they relate to the content and your
learning from the week
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 organization’s needs, please discuss your choice with your Instructor using the Contact
the Instructor link in the classroom.
