The requirements of the project are as follows:

1. Topic : Make sure to keep communications as the main focus of the paper.

2. Four Scholarly Resources: You must find at least four (more is always better) scholarly resources (other than your textbook) for your topic. A scholarly resource includes a published book, an article from an academic journal, or an item from a respected news source. You may also find information from web sites, blogs, or other informal sources; however, these will be supplementary and will not be counted as part of your three scholarly resources. Wikipedia may be used as a lead to find other more reputable resources, but Wikipedia may not be cited as a resource. Wikipedia lacks credibility because it is an open resource that accepts materials from anyone without rigorous review for accuracy. Thus, the information contained in Wikipedia is only slightly more credible than asking your neighbor his opinion on a topic and using his comments as a resource.


3. Components: The components of your paper will include the following:

a) Title Page

b) Table of Contents

c) List of Tables and Charts

d) Eight pages of text with a conclusion

e) Two graphics depicting data related to your topic

Overview:

A proposal "is an offer to carry out research or to provide a product or service". In length, form, scope, and method of evaluation by readers, proposals vary perhaps more than any other kind of professional document. Some external proposals, designed for audiences outside the writer’s organization, may be hundreds of pages long and be evaluated according to carefully calibrated point systems. In contrast, some proposals for internal audiences may be a couple of pages long and be informally approved or disapproved by local supervisors. Some proposals focus on products or services; some focus on research. Whatever their differences, proposals have one purpose in common: to persuade the reader to accept the writer’s offer. No matter what its scope or subject, a proposal is a specialized kind of argument that relies on prose, data, and graphics to make the case.

You will write a research proposal.

In the proposal, your purpose will be to make the case that your instructor should approve your projected feasibility report topic. The proposal will contain these sections: summary, introduction (discussion of problem), proposed program (including options and criteria), qualifications, task schedule, and appendix (annotated reference list).

Proposal Sections:

Summary (Briefly makes a convincing case for the project.)

Introduction (A major discussion section: Through detailed presentation of the problem convinces reviewers of the worth of the project.)

Proposed program (A major discussion section: presents the research methodology for gathering data and information; springs from a base of research already carried out.)

Qualifications and experience (Establishes your ability to carry the project to completion.)

Task Schedule (A standard part of a proposal is a task schedule, which demonstrates the writer's ability to plan the work of the project in phases and ensure delivery by the deadline. You may list taks and deadlines or present the information as a table.)

Appendix (Demonstrates the depth of your preparation; in this proposal, consists of the annotated reference list)

Objectives:

In completing this Proposal, you should be able to do the following:

Identify a problem or opportunity faced by a specific audiences and offer possible solutions.

Prepare a well-conceived research plan.

Craft persuasive arguments, incorporating research and graphical data as persuasive elements.

Demonstrate knowledge of proposal format.

Demonstrate the ability to edit.

Topic for proposal:

Communication barriers exist between Information Technology/Development and the rest of the departments within Companies. The barrier affects current work processes negatively and creates unnecessary emotional stress to the individual employees.
