MBA-FPX5910 Assessment 3 Instructions: Annotated Outline

Create a 2-5 page annotated outline that include the sections to be analyzed, ethical decision making aspects of the topic, main points of the recommendation, and credible evidence you plan to use for supporting the analysis and recommendations.

 

Introduction

While everyone has their own process for writing, creating an outline is often an important early step in the process in all types of writing, even for the most seasoned writers. By creating an outline, you draft a plan that organizes your thoughts, helps you see gaps in your thought process, and enables you to decide where in your paper you will address particular issues.

An annotated outline is a document that organizes the main sections to be included in your paper. The annotations are based on thinking through your approach to the paper and developing enough detail that anyone who reads the outline can follow your thought process.
The purpose of this assessment is as follows:

    • To build an annotated outline that shows the key sections of your analysis, the ethical considerations, and the leadership and collaboration aspects that you intend to include in your capstone project. With this outline, faculty can understand the organization and purpose of your paper; upon approval, you may move forward to writing the capstone project (Assessment 4).
    • To help you manage your work because you will need to start researching now (if you have not already) in order to create your annotated outline.
    • To demonstrate that you know how to cite in APA format by including some quotations or paraphrases from researched sources. The sources you include in the outline may or may not be used in your actual paper.
    • To demonstrate your ability to create a well-organized document, suitable for academic or business, that meets established criteria.
    • Assessment Description
      For this assessment, create an annotated outline that provides a framework of your capstone project. Begin by reviewing the MBA Capstone Project Description [PDF]. Your annotated outline must state the name of your chosen organization and must include the following items:
    • Identify the main sections to be developed in the paper and tie them to the project objectives.
      • In your key sections, you should use at least four main headings; these sections make up the body of your outline.
      • Each heading must have at least two sub-points to develop the detail required.
      • Include a description of each major point.
    • Identify where each supporting reference will be integrated.
      • Include at least one reference to support each major point of the paper.
      • Incorporate relevant quotes or paraphrases from a source that you might use for support, with an APA in-text citation.
    • Identify main points that address ethical aspects associated with your chosen business.
      • Ethical considerations/aspects should also be one of the headings of your outline.
      • Use the program outcomes to help determine the areas of ethics that you might want to cover.
      • Include at least one reference to elaborate on how you intend to cover ethics in your project.
    • Identify main points that address leadership and collaboration aspects associated with your chosen business.
      • Leadership and collaboration considerations/aspects should also be one of the headings of your outline.
      • Review the program outcomes to determine the areas of leadership and collaboration that you should consider.
      • Include at least one reference to elaborate on how you intend to cover leadership and collaboration in your project.
    • Identify main points of your recommendations. Your recommendations should also be one of the headings of your outline.
      • Identify credible evidence to support an analysis.
      • For the evidence you provide, include key points to clarify why it matters and how it will inform the analysis.
    • Your annotated outline should have these sections:
    • An executive summary.
    • An introduction.
    • The body of your outline should be comprised of at least four main headings with additional subheadings and points. (Never use the word “Body” as a heading or subheading.)
    • A conclusion.
    • References. Use APA style and formatting for all the sources you use in the annotated outline.
    • Submission Requirements
    • Style: This outline should be written in academic format; refer to the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines. It should be double spaced, use subheadings, and be well organized and well written.
    • Communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message and quality.
    • APA guidelines: Format your paper according to current APA style and formatting.
    • Resources: Use at least four resources from credible resources.
    • Length: Your outline should be 2–5 pages.
    • Font and font size: Use 12 point, Times New Roman.
    • It is highly recommended that you submit your outline to Smarthinking (linked in the MBA Program Resources) to request feedback on ideas and organization (that is, global issues). Smarthinking can be instrumental in helping you get a solid, flowing outline and foundation to your capstone.
      Evaluation
      By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:
    • Competency 1: Apply foundational knowledge and an understanding of business systems, processes, and technology within and across core disciplines.
      • Identify the main sections to be developed in the paper and tie them to the project objectives.
    • Competency 2: Integrate information across disciplines and from differing perspectives.
      • Identify where each supporting reference will be integrated
    • Competency 3: Think critically and analytically to provide evidence-based solutions to business challenges and opportunities.
      • Identify main points of recommendations.
    • Competency 5: Lead and collaborate in virtual, global, and culturally diverse environments.

that address leadership and collaboration aspects associated with the chosen business.
  • Competency 6: Integrate principles of ethics and integrity into business decisions.
    • Identify main points that address ethical aspects associated with the chosen business.
  • Competency 7: Communicate clearly and effectively in a business environment.
    • Cite sources and references in proper APA format.
  • ePortfolio
    You should consider adding this to your personal ePortfolio. Being able to demonstrate the logic used to construct a proposal is a valuable skill set. Additionally, your finished capstone project should be added to your ePortfolio, and by having the annotated outline you can show how you arrived at the final deliverable.
    • SCORING GUIDE

    Use the scoring guide to understand how your assessment will be evaluated.

    Create a 2-3 page proposal that analyzes your business topic, defines the scope and strategy for how you will go about your capstone project, incorporates your BetterUp assessment and coaching, and explains how your proposed project allows you to demonstrate the MBA program outcomes.

    Introduction

    Based on the feedback you received from faculty on your capstone summary in Assessment 1, you should now have a firm grasp on the scope of your project. In fact, if someone asks you what your project is about, you should have an “elevator speech” prepared. That is, you should have memorized 1–3 sentences that explain the topic, problem, and scope in a clear and concise way. With just these few sentences, explaining your project to someone while on a short elevator ride would be no trouble at all! Additionally, having such a clear vision will help you with this assessment and the project overall.

    For this assessment, you will formally propose your capstone project and include a discussion on how you will apply your leadership skills and where they are relevant in your project. As part of this thought process, you will take a BetterUp leadership assessment and have a one-on-one session with a BetterUp coach. This will give you the ability to discuss how your identified strengths will help you to create a capstone project that is valuable to you, effectively demonstrates the program outcomes, and provides a meaningful learning experience.

    Preparation
    • Read the information in the BetterUp Assessment and Coaching resources in this assessment.
    • Take the BetterUp assessment, and access your results.
    • Complete at least one BetterUp coaching session.
    • Review the MBA Capstone Project Description [PDF].
    Assessment Description

    Write a business proposal that formally proposes your capstone project and ends by asking for permission to continue, just as you might propose a project to a supervisor or client.

    Include, at minimum, the following information:

    • Analyze a business challenge or opportunity.
      • Include an introduction about your proposal.
      • Summarize the capstone project topic, scope, and components; saying that your capstone will comprise a paper and presentation is not enough.
      • Establish the premise of your paper; for example, if your plan is to talk about how Dillard’s department store can come back after a huge financial loss, you should include citations that establish its dramatic financial loss.
    • Define the strategy, scope, and action plan that you will use to complete the capstone project.
      • Provide a general action plan on how you will research, analyze, and identify recommendations or solutions to this business challenge or opportunity.
      • Discuss the general type of data sources you will be using to inform your analysis. Provide at least two specific sources that you are considering. These resources should be from credible sources such as the Wall Street Journal, IBIS, et cetera. Use the excellent Research Guide – MBA for locating credible resources from the Capella library’s business databases and article collections.
      • Include the process or steps on how you will access the data necessary for analysis of a business topic or challenge.
    • Explain how you will apply your leadership strengths (as identified in your BetterUp assessment results) and BetterUp coaching experience to support the various aspects of your project.
      • Discuss how you will leverage your strengths, as uncovered in the BetterUp leadership strengths assessment, to the various aspects of your project, such as recommendations or business solutions. Also identify how you will address your leadership gaps that could impact or weaken your recommendations and solutions.
      • Discuss how you can use the leadership coaching to assist you in completing a capstone project that you feel proud of and that allows you to effectively demonstrate your leadership skills and achievement of all program outcomes.
      • Address how you can use coaching as a development tool to enable you to grow and develop as a leader.
    • Write a conclusion.
      • Include a wrap-up that ensures your supervisor/client that your project will meet all requirements, be valuable to them, and be completed on time.
      • Be sure to conclude by asking for permission to continue to the next step.

    Your proposal should be organized using these sections:

    • Discussion of the Proposal.
    • Strategy and Scope.
    • Action Plan.
    • Application of BetterUp Assessment Results and Coaching.
    Submission Requirements
    • Style:Your proposal should follow professional style, as described in the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines (available in the MBA Program Resources), including single-spaced paragraphs. It should use subheadings and be well organized and well written.
    • Communication:Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message and quality.
    • APA guidelines:Format your citations according to current APA style.
    • Resources:Use at least two citations from credible sources. Also reference your completed BetterUp assessment results.
    • Length:Your proposal should be 2–3 pages (single-spaced, professional style).
    • Font and font size:Use 12 point, Times New Roman.
