JUSTIFICATION REPORT

Assignment 2.2: Justification Report – Part 2
Due Week 5 and worth 150 points

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.

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)
Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)
References (for Question 6)

Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:

Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you’ve identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research.
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!”
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.
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

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
{narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
Cost
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
{narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
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:

Dealing with Multiple Bosses Justification Report
ENG 315 – Professional Communications

?
Problem Statement

Having to deal with multiple bosses can be very challenging. It can also be overwhelming at times because they are not always on the same accord and one may think that they have more of a priority over the others. There can be several issues that arise when dealing with multiple bosses such as: conflicts, customer and employee satisfaction, work overload, time management, and several other issues that may arise from time to time.
.
Overview of Alternatives

Alternative A – Weekly Manager Meeting: Weekly meeting should be conducted between the managers so that everyone is on one accord and after this happens you will be able to properly tell your staff what is needed of them to do without having any conflicts between the bosses and the staff.

Alternative B Weekly Team Meeting: Once bosses have conducted their weekly meeting it would be nice to then incorporate the staff into the meeting so that if there are any issues that need to be address they all can be hashed out at that time. It would be great for the bosses and the staff to be on the same page of how to handle daily functions for the organization.

Criteria

1. Customer Satisfaction – It is the responsibility of the organization to keep the customers happy with the service that they are getting but if you are dealing with bosses that are not on the same accord then it can cause conflicts and improper information to be given the staff that has to deal with the customers. When the customer is not happy then it can be a huge problem.

2. Work Overload – Each boss as a different agenda and can feel like their stuff should take priority over the others which can make things difficult when trying to fill everyone’s requests.

3. Conflict Resolution – I believe there should be weekly meetings held between all bosses so they can hash out any and all problems that they may have before it comes to the staff. Once they have conducted their weekly meeting then there should be a weekly meeting with their staff so that they staff can properly conducted their tasks.

4. Conflicting Messages – The more supervisors that you there will be some conflicting messages. Their methods of communicating can unintentionally send mixed messages

5. Employee Morale – Employee morale can make or break an organization because when your employees. When employees are happy then your business is more likely to strive and survive. If you have unhappy employees it can cause low productivity and poor cooperation which becomes a hindrance to the organizational goals.

Research Methods
Research methods included internet searches and knowledge of my own from when I had to deal with multiple bosses at an organization that I once worked for. I also have will be talking to some people that I know that own a business in which at their establishments there are multiple bosses to learn how they deal with each other and how they keep a positive interactions with their staff.
