Week 5 – Final Paper Instructions

Imagine that you are proposing a new communication structure for an organization. Write a formal proposal in which you discuss at least five concepts that you feel are most important for successful communication within an organizational setting. Explain why these concepts are necessary for successful communication and how best to implement them within an organization.

Examples of concepts that you may choose to use are active listening, organizational culture, conflict resolution, key principles of human communication, leadership strategies, formal and informal communication, etc. – you can research others. 

Your information for this paper should not be based on your own opinions; you must back up your information with research. The research may include readings from this course or from outside sources. 

In total, your paper must include at least five sources with at least two from the Ashford University Library. 

This is a formal paper and should include proper grammar, complete sentences, appropriate paragraphs, and correct citations/references in proper APA style.

Along with explaining the communication concepts and including the research, you can also use your personal experiences to explain the research that you are presenting in your paper.
