  • Revise Paper

    SCENARIO: Imagine that your workplace has experienced significant change recently, and your department is expected to respond to change with innovation. Your immediate manager has asked you to determine one specific innovation for your department; you will be responsible for the implementation of this innovation. This report should not include a recommendation, but instead should be strictly informative, offering a detailed comparison.

    ASSIGNMENT: In Unit 2, you drafted an informative report in which you researched several methods for implementing your chosen innovation and compared and contrasted two of them based on factors that you chose. In this assignment, you will revise your Touchstone 2.2 submission using the revision strategies you learned in Unit 3. This revision should reflect significant changes from your first draft and should incorporate the feedback you received on Touchstone 2.2. Review the rubric comments and summary feedback you received on your Touchstone 2.2 draft to deepen and extend your analysis of your topic. Submit a revision of your Touchstone 2 draft that reflects this feedback.

    A. Assignment Guidelines

    DIRECTIONS: All writers revise and edit their work as part of the writing process. For Touchstone 3, submit a revised version of your Touchstone 2.2 composition. The process of revising involves re-thinking your essay, while editing focuses on changes at the sentence level. Your revision should reflect your attention on the following:

    • Focus
    • Structure
    • Flow
    • Clarity
    • Style
    • Word Choice
    • Sentence Variety

    As you consider possible revisions and edits, evaluate how your essay can be improved in each of the areas above. Focus your attention on the areas that would benefit most from revising and editing. You can add, delete, or move text as you revise your essay.

    Note the following revising and editing guidelines:

    • Do not draft a new essay. You must revise and edit your Touchstone 2.2 draft. Depending upon the effectiveness of the 2.2 draft, however, major changes such as refocusing or restructuring may be required.
    • Allow time between drafts so that you can see your original work from a new perspective.
    • Revising and editing are different from proofreading; however, be sure to proofread your revised essay before you submit it.

    Remember to also answer the reflection questions listed below.

    B. Reflection Questions

    DIRECTIONS: Below your assignment, include answers to all of the following reflection questions.

    1. How much time did you spend revising and editing your draft? Which revision strategies did you use, and which of them worked best for you? (2-3 sentences)
    2. Compare your draft to your revision. How did your essay improve? Provide specific examples of the different revision areas (e.g., structure, focus, clarity, etc.) that you focused on. (3-4 sentences)
    3. Think about the entire process of drafting and revising this informative composition. What did you learn about your writing process or yourself as a writer? For example, did any part of the process surprise you or reveal something unexpected? (2-3 sentences)

  • Focus Paper 3: Empire of AI

    writing a third 1-page Focus Paper to help us to continue to explore and identify answers to our working research question about AI.

    • Our research source for this paper will be Empire of AI: Chapters 5 or 6 and we will be using templates from They Say I Say Chapters 1-3 & 7 to help us to craft our argument.
    • No additional sources are needed.
    • You may quote or paraphrase from Introduction to College Research if desired, but you are not required to include this text as a research source.

    Crafting the Focus Paper

    Writing a 1-page Focus Paper requires us to not only focus our analysis on one argument posited in the text, but also to practice writing concisely.

    Structure

    Former students in this class have found it helpful to think of the one-page Focus Paper as structured like a body paragraph in a research paper with:

    • An introductory sentence: providing context for the topic (subject) of your Focus Paper
    • A topic sentence in which you state the subject of the paper clearly and make your point about your chosen topic.
    • 2-4 supporting sentences in which you clarify your point and provide evidence both from your personal experience and the text: Empire of AI
    • A concluding sentence that provides a “statement of findings” as a result of your research (in other words, what did you learn/discover that is helping you to explore/answer your research question).

    Templates

    In this Focus Paper, we will be putting what we have learned from Chapters 1- 3 & 7 of They Say I Say into practice, including:

    • Analyzing and Summarizing the author’s argument
    • Integrating research: quotes/paraphrases from Empire of AI into our writing
    • including MLA in text citations.
    • Using your experience to support and clarify, in concert with the text (Empire of AI) to clarify and support your point.

    Please use the templates from Chapters 1- 3 & 7 They Say I Say to structure your writing, to clearly state your position on one of the author’s arguments in Chapter 1, 2 or 3, to integrate research [quote(s)/paraphrase(s)] from your primary source (Empire of AI), and to incorporate your personal experience with AI.

    • You must include at least one template in each Focus Paper.
    • Type all templates used in bold font.

  • Management Question

    Module 7 Assignment Instructions: Exhibit 6 Implementation, Evaluation and Control

    Objective: Create a detailed plan for implementation, evaluation, and control of the recommended strategic alternative. The recommended strategy is one from the stability, growth, and retrenchment alternatives.

    Exhibit 6 supports sections VII and VIII of your Strategic Audit. It is very important you follow the writing structure of sections VII and VIII when completing Exhibit 6.

    What is an Implementation, Evaluation and Control Plan?

    This plan highlights the actions needed to implement the recommended strategy at the corporate, business, and functional levels. For each action, the who, what, and how are specified. In terms of evaluation, who and how often the action plan will be evaluated is also determined. Finally, metrics are developed for objective and easy control and evaluation plans.

    How to create an Implementation, Evaluation and Control Plan table

    Download TemplateSA-EXH6-Implementation.docx and use it to build your own Exhibit 6.

    In Section VI of your Strategic Audit, you have already identified the recommended strategy with its corporate, business, and functional hierarchy. The template illustrates a plan applied to the Olallieberry Pie Companys (OPC) recommended strategic alternative (growth-concentration-expand into international arena by forging strategic alliances).

    Notice the template has six columns with headings: Strategic Alternative Element, Action Plan, Priority System, Who Will Implement, Who Will Review, How Often Reviewed, and Metrics/Criteria.

    The first element is at the corporate level action, then there are business level actions, and then 3 to 4 important functional level actions. All these action lines or rows should be expanded into good complete discussions in Sections VII and VIII of your Strategic Audit.

    Where the elements and actions come from? Review your recommended strategy ideas at the corporate, business, and functional areas in Section VI to find key elements you would like to incorporate in the implementation plan. Review your TOWS matrix to find key actions you would like to include in this plan too. Not all elements and actions mentioned in Section VI and TOWS matrix should be included, only few that you consider most relevant.

    Exhibit 6 and Sections VII and VIII of your Strategic Audit

    For Section VII, Implementation in SA-WritingTemplate-BUS485B, discuss and describe the details of the programs, budgets, and procedures and the who, what, when, and how details of the implementing plans at all 3 levels: corporate, business, and functional.

    For Section VIII, Evaluation and Control in SA-WritingTemplate-BUS485B, discuss and describe the who, what, when, how, and metrics details of the evaluation and control plans at all 3 levels: corporate, business, and functional.
