While it seems that college forces you to write endless research papers and focuses on the importance of citing your sources…why do you need to know all of this?  Even in the corporate world, you will need to know how to research your topic and put together a well written proposal.  The purpose of this week’s discussion is to find a corporate report and discuss the research required to create that report.  Do a search for “Corporate Social Responsibility Report” on your search engine of choice.  Do your best to choose a company that hasn’t already been mentioned in the discussion.  As a consumer, are you convinced that this report is well supported with research or are you reading about an individual opinion?  Is the information that the company used relevant to the point they are trying to make?  Is the report well written and easy to follow?  These questions are guidelines, please feel free to elaborate in your responses.
