Instructions Write a 4–5 page business report in which you provide the following: Write a one-page executive summary that highlights your report. Formulate three business problems that justify the need for a project. Develop a specific business problem for each of the following three areas: leadership, information systems, and marketing management. For each of the three business problems, describe how it relates to concerns that businesspeople in the larger industry, field, or area care about. Support your problem statements by presenting evidence from scholarly literature. For each of the three problem statements, include an illustration that shows how the problem was narrowed down using a fishbone diagram (Ishikawa diagram) or a cause-and-effect diagram, where you identified the problem, worked out the major factors involved, identified possible causes, and analyzed your diagram to determine the focus of your problem statement. Select one of your problems and propose a potential Riipen type project that is related to one of your problem statements and can be completed by a Capella learner. Be sure to detail the scope of the potential project. You can assume you are writing a project for CapraTek. Your report should include the following headings: Executive Summary. Leadership Business Problem. Information Systems Business Problem. Marketing Business Problem. Project Proposals. Summary. Using Riipen to find Project Example Here is what to do to explore projects in Riipen: Select the Riipen link, which will take you to the Riipen homepage. Select “Explore” in the upper ribbon. This will take you to the Explore page. You will see where you are asked to sign in. DO NOT SIGN IN OR REGISTER. Select “Explore” in the upper right-hand ribbon again and you will get a drop-down menu. Select “Projects” from the drop-down menu. You will then see a list of projects. You can type in the Search bar (on the left) a topic (i.e., Accounting, Finance, Information Technology, etc.) and this will take you to specific projects on your selected topic. Again, DO NOT SIGN IN OR REGISTER. If you do register and sign in to Riipen, you will only be able to see projects by selecting the “Explore” link and then selecting the Company option. You will then only be able to look for projects by company, which is a slower process.
