CMNS 1140 ASSIGNMENT #6—CAREER RESEARCH REPORT
ASSIGNMENT #6 SNAPSHOT
The Career Research Report is Assignment #6 (A6) from our CMNS 1140 Course Outline. It is the final writing assignment for the semester.
Worth: 20% of course grade
DUE: Friday, December 04 7:00 pm (posted to Moodle)
Note: Assignment details for A7 PPT requirements are on separate Word file.
FINAL RESEARCH REPORT—BACKGROUND AND LEARNING CONTEXT
Background
The Research Proposal (A4) that you submitted was the first step towards your Career Research Report. The A4 Proposal allowed you to narrow down your research topic, frame boundaries for your research report, and formulate questions that you could explore in your final report—the Career Research Report, Assignment #6.
It also forced you to find credible sources.
Now you’re ready to explore your research question in more depth and produce a final report
with conclusions and recommendations.
The learning objectives for this assignment focus on research and writing skills.
Learning Context
We will apply the following critical communication skills and principles to research and write an informative and
persuasive
, researched report:
1.
APPLIED RESEARCH
Collection, collation, and analysis of data from primary and secondary sources using appropriate referencing (MLA etc.)
2.
CRITICAL THINKING
(ANALYSIS)
Problem analysis and definition in context of Audience and Purpose
Development of
arguments
—that is, claims supported by evidence in the way of facts and statistics.
3.
WRITING
(SYNTHESIS)
Integration of text (facts, claims, statistics etc.) with visual elements, such as tables and figures to produce a cohesive final report with conclusions and recommendations.
The Final Research Report—An Extension of Your Research Proposal
Your A4 Research Proposal allowed you to formulate questions which you felt were viable research questions for a Final Report on two career related topics that would be useful for Year One students in that field.
Ideally, your proposal gave you (and the instructor) a pretty clear idea of whether your research ideas/topics/questions were feasible. I will give you feedback on your proposal to indicate whether the topics are feasible or if there are possible problem areas. This initial feedback will allow you to proceed with researching and drafting your final report.
For your final CMNS 1140 project, you will write a four-to-six page report. (This page number total does not include cover memo, table of contents, executive summary and Works Cited!) Your A6 report will
evaluate
(make a claim about) at least two aspects of your career interest(s) that you feel would be useful and interesting to first-year students in that field.
ASSIGNMENT DETAILS
ASSIGNMENT #6 (CAREER RESEARCH REPORT REQUIREMENTS)
Assignment #6—Career Research Report—requires you to write a short (four-to-six page) report that provides useful and interesting information aimed at Year One students who are interested in the same career as you are pursuing.
Please note that the four-to-six page guideline excludes the following pages:
i. cover memo,
ii. title page,
iii. table of contents,
iv. executive summary , and
v. works cited.
ASSIGNMENT CONTEXT
Primary Audience: Your CMNS 1140 Instructor.
Secondary Audience: Year One students in the same career path as you.
Purpose: To convince your CMNS 1140 instructor that you have written a viable and valid research report for your final CMNS 1140 assignment, one that first year students in your program or field might find informative, useful and interesting.
Assignment Challenges
Your main challenge is to clearly define the research parameters in the context of your Audience and Purpose, research and collate some useful and interesting facts (or claims), integrate quantitative data into visuals, present this information concisely and precisely and end with conclusions and recommendations that logically follow the data that you have provided in the report.
Remember—this is not a problem solving report! Avoid making value statements; simply present the facts and try to persuade the audience that your facts are relevant, accurate and current and that they should take heed of your recommendations.
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
THE ASSIGNMENT IN A NUTSHELL
You will write a four-to-six page (excluding title page, cover letter table of contents, executive summary, and works cited pages) report that supports a claim (thesis) about each one of the two (minimum) questions that you have chosen to research and explore. These questions or topics are the ones you have selected in your Career Research Proposal; they are directly related to your career interests and you feel that an in-depth exploration of each question would be useful and interesting to first-year students in your field.
Furthermore, in your recommendations section you will articulate how an understanding of the information that you are presenting will assist you and your classmates to make more informed decisions about your chosen career path.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that you carefully review the Sample Formal Report PDF posted on Moodle.
REPORT REQUIREMENTS—The Front Matter
The following items are required for your complete report. These four items are referred to as “front-matter” and are not paginated as part of the report because they are considered ancillary to the main discussion.

questions
I will find the most significant criteria that I will use for the marketing of products and services. The method that I will avail myself should be reliable and efficient for the working environment. Through the research I conducted, I will be able to apply the knowledge and skills learned in marketing to ensure I will be able to adapt to marketing strategies. Good
My method that I will utilize will be primarily secondary research in carrying out the study. I will conduct other research through reading academic journals. I will be able to develop my marketing strategies that will help to foster my skills in marketing. Primary research (interview) is also required.
Highlight the two research questions you have identified for the final report.
Authorization
I, therefore, request permission to continue with this research. Provide request for approval with suggested timeline as well as preferred contact channel.
Sincerely,
Business management is a broad discipline that entails different career opportunities such as retail management, sales, marketing, and human resource management. There are difficulties in choosing the area, which someone decides to major. It’s significant for students to gauge their preferences, areas of skills, and the required market for specific concentration. In my proposal, I propose to carry out why first-year students should consider marketing as an exemplary aspect of business management. Define Marketing here.
State of the problem
Professionals and students who tend to enhance their education experience difficulties in selecting an area they want to further their studies. It becomes more confusing when someone wants to major in a discipline that contains many sub-disciplines. Therefore, it will be significant to analyse wisely areas that have dilemmas before making informed decisions (Bacon, 2017, p.114). Students tend to undergo various knowledge processes, including self-awareness, such as values, abilities, and identifying interests. While in school, students tend to experience a career awareness process that will enable them to gain knowledge in various fields (McCabe, 2017, p.85). Finally, they will be left to focus on areas that they have made a decision. It will be prudent to narrow down our scope to specific to provide students and professionals who will decide to enhance their studies with prior information to make the right decision. OK, but this does not relate directly to assignment requirements
Literature review
The international trend currently has introduced marketing systems and strategies in developing countries (Rana et al., 2016, p.98). Marketing research has been increased in those countries to create a market for their own produced goods. The increasing trend of marketing research has enabled both scope and quantity to be explored to be familiar with it. It is ideal to have future customers if the quality of the products is considered. Currently, the majority of the firms are devoted to increasing their development in marketing potentials. They should identify both the existing and new products in the market to identify some of the prospects used to ensure their firm’s work can meet market demand globally (Rana et al., 2016, p.100). Some of the developing countries have limited access to the internet and the outside world. This will make them have low marketing for their products and services. Both small and medium-sized enterprises have limited access to legal marketing services. It will be essential to access better marketing strategies that will enable those developing countries economically to increase the market for their products to improve their living standards (Rana et al., 2016, p.102). Insert space between paragraphs, and start a new paragraph when you change topics.
Digital marketing has developed most firms because it allows them a platform where they will sell the products. Digital marketing has most of the countries to market and sell their products.
Insert heading or subheading here to signal new topic
Controversies on the marketing strategy of different firms go beyond considering the number of customers purchasing certain goods, the price of the commodities, and the quality of the goods sold depending on the business (Blanchet et al., 2016, p.46). However, most small business owners tend to use the old marketing strategies method, hence hindering the possibility of forming a new strategy. Most of the marketing strategies are not only meant for wealthy people who require marketing planners (Blanchet et al., 2016, p.50). Marketing strategies tend to help those who want to organize themselves to sell their products globally and advertise their products. Good
Personal interest
This topic’s primary idea is to enable students or professionals who want to enhance their studies to identify some critical areas that will allow them to prosper. People have their interest in carrying out their specialization in fields they are competent with. It will enable them to make the right decisions hence making them attain their goals. OK, but why are you interested in being a Marketer, and what is your personal interest in these topics?
Research questions
1. What are your crucial consumer trends?
2. Can we be able to find out our marketing partners? Comment by Panteli: These questions do not relate to the field of Marketing for Year One students. They relate directly to a business that is doing Marketing.
3. What is the size of our target market?
4. Do we have a better customer understanding of our ideal market?
5. How can we be able to identify our new target segment?
6. What are most of the preferences our customers like?
7. Is an online platform an ideal opportunity for business growth?
8. Which commodity does the majority of the customers prefer?
Relate above questions it more directly to Year One students whoa re interested in Marketing. What are the implications of this information?
The majority of the customers will prefer products that have the right quality that will enable them to enjoy. It will be prudent for customers to be offered the right products to increase the goods’ market demand. An online platform is ideal for the marketing process that enables business owners to develop a network business hence offering a ready market. It will allow producers to reach a large number of customers, therefore providing them ready market. Students who will be conducting marketing as a career course will benefit from the field because they already have the necessary skills and knowledge required for the career.
This is good information, but relate it more directly to Year One students. What are the implications of this information?
Selects and at least two, open-ended and viable research questions
Conclusion
Marketing, as a career, has a tremendous responsibility for marketing strategies for corporates and investment firms. When comparing with an ideal job that has clearly outlined cons and pros, marketing strategies tend to be better. Therefore, people with a steered mind on a career are more likely to succeed in this field of business management and be ready to sacrifice their interests. Those students who are planning to achieve a marketing analyst position should prepare well for the education and skills needed and practice on your their interpersonal skills and always be ready to confront and challenge during your their career path.
