What are other companies/organizations/schools doing in relation to your topic?

Part 1: Topic Submission (60 points)
Learning objectives:
Write and edit so that your messages are clear, concise and precise
Apply critical thinking skills and increase your ability to interpret, analyze, evaluate, conclude and explain
Your specific topic must be approved by your instructor. You cannot submit any subsequent assignments without submitting a topic proposal and getting approval from your instructor. As such, ensure that there is enough information in your submission for your instructor to fully understand and approve your idea; not doing so will delay your ability to move forward with the assignment.
Your topic proposal will address the following questions:
What are you proposing?
To whom are you proposing it?
You must find at least one source* that helps you identify or understand your audience
What need or problem does the proposal address?
You must should find at least one source* that helps you identify the problem
What are other companies/organizations/schools doing in relation to your topic?
You must research and APA document a source*
*For each of the three sources, submit an APA bibliographic reference.
