The purpose of a proposal is to persuade someone to do something. Proposals are simple or complex, verbal, written, short or long, high tech multimedia, low tech, or no tech. Proposals are common and sometimes powerful forms of workplace communication with which you are about to become somewhat familiar.
You will write a proposal for this assignment. The purpose of your proposal is to request permission to write a recommendation report, which is the last assignment for this course and is not due now. You identified a topic of interest for your proposal and recommendation report through the Identify a Topic discussion. To be persuasive, your recommendation report should rely heavily on data and expert opinions. If you need or want to modify or completely change your topic, this is a good time to do so.
