Assignment
This assignment is to write a 2 pages single spaced compare/contrast essay about my company and any other company thats similar.
This assignment is all about a company the instructor told us to make up in the class to use it for the semester. My company's information is below this line:
-What is the name of your company?
My company's name is (Athath)
-What products or services does your company offer?
In this company, we export furniture from other countries.
We would have offices in two different locations, an office in a location where we are providing the furniture from, and an office in a location where we are shipping furniture to, so it would make it easier for our customers to reach for us to get their orders placed and shipped. We would also offer furniture customization options. Customers can customize their furniture as they would like it.
-What devices do they have?
In the company, we would use cellphones, tablets, computers, printers, also communicate with emails.
-Where do they need to communicate from?
Since we have offices in different locations, Communications between us are going to be through direct calls, e-mails, and meetings in each office.
-What common channels your company would use and how?
There are a lot of things that can help the company, like Google Docs, Skype, Facebook, YouTube.
Google Docs is very useful, it would be used in employees' schedules, and mostly, our customers' orders. Skype is a great way of communication. It would be very useful for employees to communicate from a location to another.
Facebook is a site that almost everyone uses, so that would help the company to advertise its name and its work to a lot of people.
YouTube in my opinion is a very good place to show our work and how we get everything done in this company, also showing examples of other costumers' experiences with us to let them get a lot of ideas about us.
This is the assignment instructions from the prof.
Write a short report using the compare/contrast organizational pattern found on page 71. The first step in this assignment is to determine your audience. Who do you want to write to? The second step in comparing and contrasting two similar items is to determine the criteria: the standards or needs you will use in researching the items. Almost always, you will need to consider several criteria. Start by deciding whether each criterion represents a necessary quality or merely a desirable one. Based on your discoveries, make a value judgment. For example, which restaurant would you frequent, which store would carry your products, which service provider would you select, which of the two cars would you buy, or which product would you purchase. Please remember that the two products must be similar. Don't compare a grocery store to a car, for example. You will also create a column, table or graph comparing and contrasting the two items.
Discuss a topic relevant to your new company such as:
• Two restaurants that you might use to meet with clients or hire to cater an event for potential investors (taste, cost or presentation) • Two service providers (such as cable, Internet, cell phone, etc.) • Two vehicles because you need a company car or truck • Two devices or products for your employees (such as laptops, phones, TVs, food, farm equipment, etc.)
