Running head: REPORT TO THE BOARD Report to the Board Star Student Westcliff University BUS 345: Fundamentals in Decision Making Professor Fantastic Month Date, Year Report to the Board Introduce material here… Remember, each case study must have the headings listed below and must be answered according to assignment instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade and this is how your work should be submitted. Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. You do not want to copy-and-paste the case, but put forth a brief summary so your reader knows what is going on. This section is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. If written properly, this section can actually serve as the abstract for the paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Remember that you obtained this information from the textbook. Consequently, you should cite Robbins and Coulter (2018). You should NOT write According to the textbook as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. Do remember to take notes as you read through the case study information so that you are prepared to complete this report. If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. The paper should be written in third person narrative and not in the first person. Note: The required headings that must be in the paper are bolded and should be kept bolded. One other note: a business is an it, not a they. Remember that when using pronouns describing a business. Make sure you always include enough text to form a complete paragraph before moving to the next section. Decision Making Concepts In this section, you will briefly describe what you will cover. It should only take a few sentences. After describing what you will cover, this section will discuss, “A summary of the decision-making concepts presented in CLA1.” Make sure you always include enough text to form a complete paragraph before moving to the next section. Do not simply copy from your CLA1, as you are reporting to the Board of Directors. Poor Decision Making In this section, you will briefly discuss the following, “A plan defining, and detailing the psychology of poor financial and investment decisions and how this information can be used to aid the finance department.” Make sure to include enough text to form at least one complete paragraph. Rational Decision Making In this section, you will discuss the following, “A process for making rational decisions and avoiding cognitive mistakes during negotiations.” Make sure to include enough text to form at least one complete paragraph. Strategies for Improving Decision Making In this section, you will discuss the following, “Detailed strategies that you would incorporate to improve the overall decision-making process throughout the organization.” Make sure you always include enough text to form at least one complete paragraph before moving to the next section. Ethical Decision Making In this section, you will discuss the following, “A system that ensures ethical approach to decision-making.” Make sure you always include enough text to form at least one complete paragraph before moving to the next section. Conclusion This section will tie together all sources used for this professional assignment, conclusions drawn from the readings, and any inconsistencies. This section will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice the paper has a continuous flow; there are no page breaks between sections. The only page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction, and between the summary or conclusions and the reference page. Note: If there is a header at the bottom of the page (on the last line), you will need to insert a page break immediately before the header to properly move it to the next page with its text. All references for the assignment must appear on a separate page (see the following page for an example). The requirement is to have at least 4-peer-reviewed scholarly references and the textbook as resources. References This section will reference all sources cited throughout the paper. It also gets its own page, meaning that it will not start at the bottom of a previous page. The heading should appear at the top of the page (first line of text) and all reference material should be listed below in alphabetical order by first last name. Also, the title for a book or text is always in italic format and in sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title for articles is in sentence format, not in italic, but the name of the journal or magazine is in italics. Furthermore, references are formatted with a hanging indent, meaning the first line is never indented, and all subsequent lines are indented. See examples below: Barzani, R. S. (2014).

After deliberation by the board, you have been elected and appointed to the position of CEO.

However, you understand that you must improve the efficiency of decision-making at all levels of the organization in order to be more effective as a whole. You decide to conduct a series of seminars and workshops within the organization in order to meet this challenge. Provide a detailed report that you will present to the board that outlines your strategy to improve decision-making at all levels in the organization. Your report should include the following: · A summary of the decision-making concepts presented in CLA1 · A plan defining, and detailing the psychology of poor financial and investment decisions and how this information can be used to aid the finance department · A process for making rational decisions and avoiding cognitive mistakes during negotiations · Detailed strategies that you would incorporate to improve the overall decision-making process throughout the organization · A system that ensures ethical approach to decision-making You must reference: any articles uploaded, your textbook, and at least 4 additional sources.

Your papers must include an introduction and a clear thesis, multiple body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Top papers demonstrate a solid understanding of the material AND critical thinking. *Please refer to the Grading Criteria for Comprehensive Learning Assessments (CLAs) in the University Policies for specific guidelines and expectations.
