Coming up with a cloud based software will not only standardize the operations of goodwill, but it will also ensure that the customers can easily access the stores through proper branding.
1. Will the cloud based software approach work?
This approach will work because proper research will be carried out by a selected team. They will check on the various operations of different goodwill stores and identify a common strategy with them. Moreover, the e-learning will be effective in training the personnel on the same operations so that the services can be standardized in all the stores.
2. What are the justifications for implementing such a strategy to the shareholders?
With such a system, it will be easy to brand the store. This will ensure that the services provided are the same in spite of the location of the store. This is actually very important because the customers will be comfortable to visit any store in different locations. It will increase in total sales of the store significantly.
3. How will the customers perceive this idea?
The changing of operations in some of the stores could be a new thing for the customer, but this will be done to ensure that their specific needs are suited. This therefore means that the only challenge for the customers would be to adapt to the new change, but it is expected that they will embrace it positively.
4. With the costs incurred were relevant in relation to the expected revenue?
Standardization of operations could be quite expensive and especially because of the various training programs entailed, but it expected to increase the total revenues significantly. This is because the operations will be made better and errors corrected to suit the needs of the customers. This thus will result to larger volumes of customers and more sales.
and this what I need
In Unit 1, you mentioned a possible "big idea" to pursue this term. For this week's Invention Lab, you will brainstorm four research questions related to that topic or another one if you have changed your mind. These questions are what you would like to find out in the process of your research. After writing the four questions, write down what you think the answer will be to each question, based on what you already know. (Naturally, your answers to these questions might change as you continue your research, and that is fine!)

Here are some examples for a topic about anti-smoking campaigns:
1.How much money is spent yearly in the United States on anti-smoking campaigns? [Provisional answer: I really don't know yet, but I read that anti-smoking campaign funding is going down and anti-obesity funding is going up.]
2.How do researchers determine how well an anti-smoking campaign works? [Provisional answer: Researchers can determine whether an anti-smoking campaign works by using focus groups or surveys to find out if smokers think that the campaign message influences them to change their behavior. Maybe they could also track a study group and a control group over time to see if exposure to certain anti-smoking messages causes the study participants to smoke fewer cigarettes or stop smoking.]
3.Is second-hand smoke really harmful? [Provisional answer: Yes. Second-hand smoke is harmful.]
4.Should the United States require tobacco companies to include graphic warnings on cigarette packs? [Provisional answer: Yes. The United States should require tobacco companies to include graphic warnings on cigarette packs.] Notice how the first two or three questions may lead to factual answers. However, any answer to the fourth question would probably be a debatable claim, which would make it an appropriate thesis statement for a persuasive argument.
Part 2:
Do you think any of your provisional answers might be your working thesis statement? Which one might be a good thesis? Please post your first attempt at a thesis statement. You want a concise (1-2 sentence) statement that clearly indicates your position.
You want to make sure that your thesis statement is persuasive and logical.
•Avoid informative thesis statements such as this: Many health organizations claim that smoking is bad for one's health, and this has led to warning labels and advertising limitations.
•Also avoid illogical thesis statements. This one uses the "slippery slope" fallacy: Smoking should not be banned in public places. If this happens, the government will ban overeating and drinking in public next.
•An effective persuasive thesis typically includes a claim (what should be done, for example) and why. For example: Exposure to cigarette smoke poses serious health risks, particularly to children and those with breathing problems. Therefore, smoking should be banned in all public places to protect the most vulnerable.
