Assignment: Creating the Report
This module taught you how to develop a report about your applied research study. In addition, this module taught you how reporting may vary based on the type of applied research study conducted. Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and other scholarly sources, explain how you plan to prepare your report.
The purpose of this assignment is to explain your study to key stakeholders. Draft a memo to a leader in your field/discipline, organization, or company to explain your applied research study. Essentially, this assignment is a summary of your applied research prospectus (similar to an abstract).

• Identify the target audience of your report (explain your answer).
• Identify the problem and its context.
• Explain the research design strategy and why it is well suited for your study.
• Briefly summarize the literature related to your applied research study.
• Describe the data collection and analysis methods you used.
• Describe the change that could be made in your field/discipline, organization, or company on the basis of your applied research study.
• Use at least two scholarly citations and cite the sources in the body of your work using APA standards.
• Prepare a reference list.
Support your memo by using at least five resources from professional literature in your response. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (websites ending in .edu or .gov).
