Create an organizational scenario that calls for the research that you will do. For example, create a fictitious outfitting company that brings people out on treks in the Appalachian Ski Mountains in North Carolina. The problem is that your guides do not currently have portable GPS systems. Because of this, in the last year, three of your guides got lost and returned late, leading to bad publicity and partial refunds. Your hypothesis is that if your guides were equipped with portable GPS systems, they wouldn't be so likely to get lost. Your proposal is an argument that you be authorized to research portable GPS systems (in the proposal) and to recommend (in the recommendation report) whether any of the available models would be a good investment and, if so, which one you should buy for your company. ( choose a topic that deals with a current high-tech item, such as digital cameras, GPS systems, vehicles, or computer-related consumer items. That way, you will be able to find accurate, current information about the topic on the Internet)
