Final Project Prospectus

For my final project, I plan on exploring the "best practices" for writing business proposals. The Business WID page seems to concentrate only on writing for economics and general business communication. As a business student, I believe that having a more in-depth resource available to my peers at the Robins School of Business would encourage more students to come to the Writing Center.

I would like to focus on business proposals because I believe that they are important to all business students, regardless of major or concentration. I will interview Dr. Jeff Pollack, who is a management professor in the business school who concentrates in entrepreneurship. In his entrepreneurship classes, Dr. Pollack requires all of his students to write and present a business plan for a company that is entirely their own. I plan on discussing best practices with Dr. Pollack and find out what he thinks that students should know when writing business proposals.

Additionally, I plan on using the Journal of Business Communication to see if there has been any outside research describing the most effective way to write a business proposal. I will turn to additional business communication journals, if need be.

Finally, I will do my best to incorporate some of our readings from class into my project. As always, "Focus on Focus" will be an excellent resource for me. In business proposals, it is essential that all of the information provided is detailed and clear and that there are no errors. "Focus on Focus" will assist me in giving that information to the readers of the webpage. Additionally, I will utilize some of the readings from our final week of class, which revolve around new media for assignments. I think that in the business world, it is especially important that we are prepared to use new technologies to present our ideas. Perhaps I will be able to suggest ways that business proposals could be turned into multimedia projects.
