SLP Assignment Expectations

Applying business theories, models, and concepts to guide analysis of problems and situations

In this SLP assignment for Module 5 our emphasis will be on applying business theories, models, and concepts to guide analysis of problems and situations, a key aspect of the business professionals job.

Mod 5 SLP Assignment: For the present assignment please provide an essay that identifies key organizational efforts that are (or would be) among the most useful or important in your chosen organization to assure control of important organizational processes. Focus in particular on the core technologies of the organization. You can discuss control efforts and strategies already utilized by your company, and/or make recommendations that you believe would be useful for your organization to consider.

Begin your essay with a thesis statement in the introductory paragraph that identifies what you consider to be the key organizational control efforts that are (or would be) important to the success of your organization, and then develop a persuasive essay to support your thesis.

SLP Expectations:

In this paper, your ability to think critically and provide insightful analysis is the key. You do not want to just "rubber stamp" the organization and say they are doing great, but you want to identify specific areas where they fall short as well as where they do very well. Remember to organize your paper for clarity and document any outside resources.

Precision: Does the paper address the question(s) or task(s)?
