Question: In addition to the readings, use at least two resources to do research on the subject of horizontal or vertical communication. Pick the subject that interests you most. Determine a single application of the subject.
Write a thesis statement (an argument) that you will research. For example, your thesis statement might be, "Managers communicate downward to subordinates more frequently than they communicate upward to superiors." The results of your research will either support or reject your thesis. Produce a title based on your research results.
If you found two reliable Internet articles that stated that managers tend to communicate upward more often than they communicate downward in a particular organization, your thesis would be rejected and your title could read, "Managers at XYZ Company communicate upward with greater frequency than downward."
Write one paragraph containing your thesis statement, one paragraph containing a summary of your findings (cite your sources), and a one paragraph conclusion. List your references at the end.
