First, create an abstract of your business recommendations for network solutions for large businesses. An abstract is a no nonsense, one paragraph statement of the purpose for your paper. Abstracts are usually 100 words or less. Readers like to know the purpose of a paper before deciding whether or not to read it. So, tell the readers right up front about your paper (an abstract appears first).

Since this is a recommendation paper, your paper should explore some alternatives and then make a recommendation to management as to which alternative is best. The deliverable for this is an abstract 100 words and a list of alternatives. 

 

Then, write a recommendation of network solutions for a large business. Here are some tips:

1. This is a formal recommendation, so avoid “I” and “me.”
2. Don’t forget to introduce your topic and offer some general background information.
3. Explain each alternative clearly. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each alternative?
4. State your recommendation in unambiguous terms. The business audience needs to be able to make a decision based on your recommendation.
5. Cite your APA sources in the body of the paper and then have the complete APA reference to the sources on your reference page.
6. Be clear and concise, but be complete. This is a difficult balancing act. Basically, the business audience needs good, solid information, but the audience doesn’t have a lot of time. Your job is to organize the information in a clear and understandable way for the decision makers at your company.

The deliverable for this is your paper in Word format. It must have a title page, an abstract, the body of your paper, and a reference page. Your paper must be 11 pages.  This does not include the title page, the bibliography, or any supporting material (graphics, charts, etc.).  And the recommendation needs to follow the APA style.

sItUatION 2

A few years after successfully launching a new outdoor

advertising business, Sean Richeson found himself

spending 16 hour days running from one appointment to

another, negotiating with customers, drumming up new

business, signing checks, and checking up as much as

possible on his six employees. The founder realized that

his own strength was in selling, but general managerial

responsibilities were very time consuming and interfered

with his sales eff orts. Richeson even slept in the offi ce one

or two nights a week just to try to keep up with his work.

Despite his diligence, however, Richeson knew that

his employees weren’t organized and that many problems

needed to be addressed. For example, he lacked the time

to set personnel policies or to draw up specifi c job descriptions

for his six employees. Just last week, he had been

warned that one employee would sometimes take advantage

of the lax supervision and skip work. Invoices often

were sent to customers late, and delivery schedules were

not always kept. Fortunately, the business is profi table, in

spite of the numerous problems.

Question 1 Is Richeson’s problem one of time management

or general managerial ability? Would it be feasible to

engage a management consultant to help solve the fi rm’s

problems?

Question 2 If Richeson asked you to recommend some

type of outside management assistance, would you

recommend a SCORE counselor, a student consulting team,

a CPA fi rm, a management consultant, or some other type

of assistance? Why?

Question 3 If you were asked to improve this company’s

management system, what steps would you take fi rst?

What would be your initial goal?

Jonathan Tandy, owner of a small furniture manufacturing

firm, is trying to deal with the firm’s thin working

capital situation by carefully managing payments

to the company’s major suppliers. These suppliers

extend credit for 30 days, and customers are expected

to pay within that time period. However, the suppliers

do not automatically refuse subsequent orders when a

payment is a few days late. Tandy’s strategy is to delay

payment of most invoices for 10 to 15 days beyond the

due date. Although he is not meeting the “letter of the

law” in his agreement, he believes that the suppliers

will go along with him rather than risk losing future

sales. This practice enables Tandy’s firm to operate

with sufficient inventory, avoid costly interruptions in

production, and reduce the likelihood of an overdraft

at the bank.

Question 1 What are the ethical issues raised by Tandy’s

payment practices?

Question 2 What impact, if any, might these practices

have on the fi rm’s supplier relationships? How serious

would this impact be?

Question 3 What changes in company culture, employee

behavior, or relationships with other business partners may

result from Tandy’s practices?
