Read: A Business Proposal – Customer Records Management Replacement System for the fictional


organisation Tangle Corp that is presented in this subject. This document will be made available via


the Resources section of Interact for this subject.


The document you are to read is a fictional business proposal aimed at the senior management of a


fictional company Tangle Corp. This proposal is an attempt by members of the junior management


team to convince the key senior decision makers of the value of such an investment for the business


and why they should approve it.


Part A


Length: Two blog posts,
each
250 words (total 500)


You are to
analyse
and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Tangle Corp business proposal


to achieve its intended purpose in two key areas:


The persuasiveness of the document and its ability to gain buy in


The communications and leadership scenario between the key stakeholders and how this


might affect the outcome of this proposal.


Your first post is to state your own analysis and position on the two items above. Your second post


should be a response to another student’s initial analysis post. This second post is intended to


elaborate, discuss, debate or otherwise expand usefully on the initial post by that student. It is not


enough to simply agree or disagree, you should effectively explain your reasoning in your own


words.


For this discussion task the cohort will be divided into groups of approximately 10 students within


which you may freely discuss your views. Each student will only have to read and respond to a small


selection of the cohort’s posts.

their CRM proposal document. Due to the importance of this proposal and its potential impact on the


company they have decided to get professional feedback on it from your firm. Note the email from
