Applied Management Project (AMP) ProposalIntroduction and Alignment

In this assignment, you will create a proposal for your final project. It is important to choose your organization and the problem within that organization that you would like to address very carefully, as this is what you will be spending the majority of your time researching over the next several weeks. The problem that you choose should be moderately complex and one that allows you to incorporate the concepts that you learned in previous classes to demonstrate your understanding and your growth in knowledge throughout your degree program.

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

• Prepare an Applied Management Project (AMP) proposal.
• Apply contemporary views of management practice.
