Situation: <\/span><\/b>Pretend you are the CEO of a large American auto company (i.e.
\nFord, GM, etc)<\/span><\/u> and
\nhave been asked for your opinions by the Board of Directors. They will be
\ndiscussing your position paper at the next shareholder meeting, as this issue
\nis hotly debated in the business world right now and shareholders want to know
\nwhere company management stands on this issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Topic for Position Memo #2: <\/span><\/b>Should companies support
\nthe goal of net zero emission by a certain date or take another approach?<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Sources:<\/span><\/b> Sources can be found on a separate page in this
\n“Weeks 3 & 4” module. While you can utilize other sources if
\nyou’d like, your memo should still show a clear understanding of the
\ninformation presented in the core sources I have provided.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Format:<\/span><\/b> You are basically writing a letter to the Board of
\nDirectors (this can also be called a memo – it’s the same thing). Here are the
\ndetails:<\/span><\/p>\n

Short version of the instructions<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>1,000 words at least (not
\nincluding the title and the citations)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>State your position<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Provide three clear
\nrationale for your position<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Address two
\ncounterarguments to your position<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Include five total
\ncitations (this should be easy because I’ve already provided six sources)<\/span><\/p>\n

Longer version of the instructions<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>1,000 words at least (not
\nincluding the title and the citations)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>State your overall
\nposition on the issue in the first part of the memo<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Create three sub-sections
\nthat outline three key rationale supporting your position. You’ll create a
\nsub-header for each sub-section. Then each sub-section will explain the
\nrational in 1-3 paragraphs (usually).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>For each sub-section, be
\nsure to provide a combination of examples, data, research, anecdotes,
\nor other information supporting that rationale<\/i>. Ideally, you should have at
\nleast two pieces of supporting information for each sub-section.<\/span><\/p>\n

o   <\/span><\/span><\/span>Example: If I was writing
\na paper about why someone should exercise, my first rationale might be:
\n“Exercise helps you stay healthy into old age”. That will be the
\nsub-header for that section. Then, when explaining that rationale I would cite
\nresearch showing how weightlifting slows muscle and bone density loss as we
\nage. Then, I might present some data for the lifespans of those who lifted
\nregularly versus those who didn’t. Then I might tell a story of my
\nfather-in-law barely being able to go up stairs at 75 years old, but then he
\nstarted lifting and got stronger and lived until he was almost 90. Please note
\nhow I used different types of information to provide full support for my rationale.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Provide one new citation
\nfor each subsection (this means that you can utilize information cited in
\nprevious parts of the memo, but each sub-section should introduce a new
\ncitation)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Create two sub-sections
\nthat address counterarguments to your position. Show that you see and hear the
\nother side’s of the arguments and are willing to address them. You can address
\nthem by explaining how these counterarguments helped you arrive at your overall
\nposition. For example, maybe you had a more extreme position before but the
\ncounterarguments moderated your view. Or the counterarguments helped you refine
\none of your rationale to achieve a broader consensus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Provide one new citation
\nfor each of the counterargument sub-sections (this means that you can utilize
\ninformation cited in previous parts of the memo, but each sub-section should
\nintroduce a new citation)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>With three sections of
\nrational and two sections addressing counterarguments – and one new citation
\nper section – you’ll end up with five citations total (minimum)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
