Define Problem and Purpose statements. Then, identify a problem in your current job or previous job, such as inadequate use of technology, inefficient procedures, spotty customer service, poor product quality, low morale, or a personnel problem. Assume your boss agrees with your criticism and asks you to prepare a report. Write: a two or three sentence statement describing the problem, a problem question, and a simple statement of purpose for your report. (You are not required to write an actual report)
