 Requirements

For our first formal assignment, you will be writing a report about a real business local to the Buffalo area (some examples are The Lexington Co-op, Anna Grace, Lloyd Tacos, and Buffalo Spree Publishing). The report must be at least 1,000 words and include the use of reliable research (see Chapter 12 on pages 368-403 and Chapter 13 on pages 404-443 of Business Communication for help). Unlike the brochure, this report is not intended to make the business “look good.” Rather, the purpose here is to provide management and/or investors with useful and well-researched information about the business so that they can make informed decisions going forward. Therefore, the information you provide should be well-balanced and your recommendations should logically follow from the information stated earlier in the report. 

We will be having a mandatory peer review session in class on Tuesday 9/18. You are required to bring a hard copy of a draft of your report to class on the day of peer review.
