You have selected a current, real-world, and re searchable business topic that is a problem, challenge, or issue. In this paper, introduce, characterize, and discuss the problem, challenge, or issue (you can announce the name of the organization, but you can also announce “Company ABC / Company XYZ” in case the organization needs to / should remain anonymous). Be specific, and refrain from making broad, generalized statements. Incorporate at least four (4) research-based literature sources in this paper.

Use proper section headings, proper grammar-spelling-punctuation.

In at least three (no more than four) well-developed paragraphs, discuss the industry, sector, company type, products (goods) and services, and employee make-up of where the problem, challenge, or issue is existing. Provide detailed context about the problem so that any reader can understand the background of the problem. Consider this information to be the “in-take” or “triage” information. Use industry, sector, and practitioner-based reports, statistics, and news to assist with developing this paragraph. Be sure to provide in-text and reference section citations for this material and information.

Discuss the benefits, potential barriers, setbacks, and roadblocks associated with resolving the problem, challenge, or issue.

In one well-developed paragraph, write a one to two sentence problem statement. The problem statement announces the specific problem, challenge, or issue that will be investigated through the research literature. The problem statement addresses what is unknown, what is unclear, what needs to be fixed, what needs to be changed, or what needs to be further researched. The problem statement is a brief, definitive statement of a specific problem, challenge, or issue that you hope to investigate as a result of reviewing the available research literature around the problem topic.
