OVERVIEW:No matter what you study or pursue in life, effective communication in writing is an important skill. Understanding how to write can help you tell stories, analyze situations, gather information, and argue a point. The final project for this course is the creation of a project recommendation plan for a business. You are a consultant assigned to help Books-R-Us, a small book retailer in the Northeast. Books-R-Us is planning to expand the number of its retail stores from 2 to 10 throughout New England in the next 5 years. The problem the company faces is that each store has inventory and sales information that pertains only to that store. Quite often, a customer will make a request for a book or other items and the customer service representative must call the other stores if the local inventory is out of stock. Books-R-Us would like a single system that brings all stores online so the inventory across the chain is known instantly. It would also like to add an e-commerce element to its website, which currently only lists store locations. Books-R-Us management feels that providing the ability to order online and pick up at or return to a store can give the company a competitive advantage over giants such as Amazon. Books-R-Us also offers customers a relaxing coffee shop with free Wi-Fi.
