Project 2
Case
Read background information.
Deliverables
You are a special committee tasked with providing Ms. Lincoff a well-informed recommendation and plan of action. As a group, respond to the issues presented in this case by writing three documents.
The first document, the Teamwork Plan, should explain how each of you will contribute to your group. In a collaborative memo addressed to me, outline and explain both individual duties and team duties, including reasonable due dates for each team member. This document should also explain how you plan to manage and resolve conflict should it arise. In crafting this document, think about making efficient design choices (i.e. headings and tables) to make the document as clear as possible.
The second document, the Communication Strategy Memo, should provide analysis of the business problem, the relevant background details, critical issues, audience factors, options for action, and your team’s specific recommendations. In short, your team’s task is to provide comprehensive advice for Ms. Lincoff regarding the issue of customers breastfeeding in Starbucks stores.
The third document, the Business Letter, should be directed to Starbucks customers. It should thoroughly explain the company’s policy on breastfeeding and the reasons why Starbucks has adopted that policy. It should be prepared for Howard Schultz’s signature.
