Employees must know how to express business issues effectively when writing reports and emails.

Explore some resources and identify three issues in education that you consider most important. You may explore a variety of resources such as newspapers,scholarly journals, publications from professional organizations, education-related websites, etc.

For this Discussion, you will narrow the scope of each education-related issue you identified in order to formulate problems that merit further investigation. What are some of the problems—whose resolution might be informed by applying knowledge from existing research or conducting a new research study—associated with each of the issues? Why is it important to investigate one or more of these problems? Identifying issues and problems early in your advanced graduate degree program allows you more time to build on your knowledge base related to them. Further, you will be prepared to analyze and evaluate scholarly inquiry with a critical eye.

When evaluating an issue and reflecting on ways to positively address the issue, the task, at first, might seem overwhelming. For this reason it is important to critically examine the issue to determine the most important related problems. As you consider problems associated with an issue, you should be able to begin identifying potential research topics. Before you can begin planning a research study for a topic, the topic must be quite narrow. As you narrow a topic to a specific problem, ask the following:

• What has already been studied in the literature?
• How much time will it take me to complete a study related to this problem?
• What stakeholder buy-in will I need to obtain to perform this study?
• What are the benefits of doing this study?
• What are the ethical considerations related to this study?
• Will I be able to recruit participants for this study?

These questions are not inclusive of all that needs consideration when contemplating a research study, but they give you an idea of what needs to be considered when you take an educational issue and extract problems for possible investigation.

 

Write how you would narrow a topic from each of the three issues by identifying a problem for each issue that can be researched. Identify one piece of key information you discovered in a scholarly resource about each problem. Then, create problem statements that concisely define the scope of how you will research each problem.

Writing an Efficient Business Complaint Letter

As the Vice President of Rochester Preferred Travel, you are upset with Premier Promos.

Premier is a catalog company that provides imprinted promotional products for companies. Your travel service was looking for something special to offer in promoting its cruise ship travel packages. Premier offered free samples of its promotional merchandise, under its “No Surprise” policy.

You asked yourself, “What can we lose?” and on January 11, you placed a telephone order for a number of samples. These included:

• An insulated lunch sack
• A portable power strip in a zippered case
• A square-ended barrel bag with fanny pack
• A deluxe canvas attaché case
• Two colors of garment-dyed sweatshirts

All items were supposed to be free. But it seemed odd to you when they asked for your company’s credit card number. This was because Premier had promised to bill you only if you decided to keep these sample items.

When the items arrived, you were not pleased. You returned them all on January 21. You have a postal receipt showing the return. However, your February credit card statement showed a charge of $258.20 for the sample items. You called Premier in February and spoke to Virginia, who assured you that a credit would be made on your next statement. However, your March statement showed no credit. You called again and received a similar promise. It’s now April and no credit has been made. You realize that this situation is now too complicated for another telephone call, and you decide to write and demand action.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research ways of writing an efficient, positively phrased complaint letter.

Based on your research and understanding of the scenario, create a 1- to 2-page document in Microsoft Word, that includes the following:

• Draft of an original complaint letter addressed to, Ms. Arletta Sandusky, Customer Services, Premier Promos, 2445 Bermiss Road, Valdosta, GA 31602.

Your letter should include the following parameters:

• All the essential parts of a business letter.
• The opening and closing of the letter must demonstrate originality.
• It must have positively phrased content.

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.
