are:
Support ideas or claims in body paragraphs with clear details, examples,
and explanations.
Organize ideas logically by using transitional words, phrases, and
sentences.

In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the
following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives,
Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your
instructor's suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation
of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.
Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted
similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the
results of those experiments.
Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by
each of your five (5) criteria.
Example: If your research revealed that four companies similar to yours
increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from
home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your
suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home
three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as
a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased
worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However,
additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative
if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares
better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too
costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-
person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand,
“Always there for you!”�
Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look
like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2]
of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the
structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below,
should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text
citations and follow up with References in APA style):
Evaluation of Alternatives
Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how
each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion.

Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second
criterion, etc.
Productivity
Alternative A: Telework from home 3 days per week
{narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
Alternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per
year
Cost
Alternative A: Telework from home 3 days per week
Alternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per
year
Briefly summarize in narrative form the major discoveries that emerged
from the Evaluation of Alternatives section.
Include a chart like the ones below to illustrate at a glance:

must be included (to avoid plagiarism) whenever you are directly
quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing researched material.
