In this assignment, you will write 1500-2000-word White Paper, according to the criteria and steps outlinedbelow.Format:Your paper should document all research in APA format, with a complete reference list at the end. YourWhite Paper must demonstrate accurate and effective synthesis of research material, with correct use ofparaphrase, quotation and citation. The layout and design of your White Paper is more flexible and shouldreflect the nature of the industry and/or organization or group you have chosen to represent. Step 1 – Positioning1. Select an industry or field that you might be interested in working within. This might be technology,health, manufacturing, marketing etc. Try to be as specific as possible (smart technologies, maternal health,??).2. Next, choose a perspective you’d like to work from within your industry or field. You might choose abusiness perspective, a more generalized industry interest-group or lobby group perspective, a non-profitperspective, or a research/think tank perspective.3. From these choices, do some research and select a company, organization, lobby group or policy groupthat you would like to hypothetically represent when writing your White Paper. Step 2 – Content1. Select an issue or debate relevant to the group or organization you have chosen. Conduct extensiveresearch into this issue/debate. What you examine will depend on what you’ve chosen, but may includecauses, effects, factors, range of positions, and history of action related to that issue.You must use at least FIVE credible industry-level sources suitable to your topic and your organization.You must include at least ONE well-labelled and appropriately styled visual representation of information.You can use quantitative (numerical data) and/or qualitative information in your visuals. Your visuals canbe graphs, charts, infographics etc. – any visual representation of any kind ofinformation/relationships/trends etc.2. You will synthesize this research strategically to highlight the needs of the group or organization youhave chosen.While the White Paper is a synthesis of research material, it also contains a persuasive component,indicating (sometimes subtly) an argument, policy approach, practice, or position for the industry ororganization. For example, your synthesis may highlight a direction of action for your group or might justifythe work already being done by your group. This will be the most difficult decision in planning your WhitePaper.3. Finally, then, link your synthesis and the position you have taken on the issue to the strategic interests ofthe organization you have chosen. You may link a product or service of their organization or a particularpolicy position that is in the interests of the organization, etc.White PaperMarking Criteria CommentsStrategic Position/Argumentation (5 points)● Paper develops an effective and logical position in thecontext of the chosen industry/organization andchosen goal for the research● The strategic work of the paper – the deliveredmessage to the audience – is clear, consistent,coherent and logicalResearch (5 points)● Focus and scope of the research is adequate andlogical given the topic, goal and context of the paper● Sources chosen are of good quality and relevant● Depth of engagement with ideas from the research isadequate to the topic chosen and show industry-levelengagement.Synthesis / Documentation (5 points)● Synthesis skills are effective● Paper is organized into logical categories● Research is paraphrased and linked in effective waysto highlight knowledge● Accurate and effective documentation of researchmaterial using APA format● Quality paraphrase and quotation skills● Accurate works citedOrganization (5 points)● Information is organized into effective sections andtied to the introduction and overall goals● Paragraphs are well-organized and rhetoricallyeffectiveClarity & Mechanics (5 points)● Effective sentence structure● Clean and consistent formatting● No spelling/grammar issues● Professional and industry-relevant tone
