Following is a list of research report topics chosen by former students to give you some IDEAS (don’t repeat/copy the same ones, create your own!). Everybody, claim your original one with Instructor by PM & it will appear on the list below. Due by Mon 3/14, 4 pages double spaced, up to 40 pts. (report & shared Discussion posting). This is a required assignment that you do as ORIGINAL work (no plagiarism, use full ref cites). You will need to interview a real person in a real setting as part of your report, this is NOT just a research paper. Confused
Choose your topic by considering: 

- What kind of info sys/technology covered in BUSI 11 sounds interesting to explore further? 
- What organization/business/industry can you identify with or want to work in? 
- Whom to interview? What’s going right or wrong with the computer-based info system they have been using & why? 
- Where can you find good info: your work, interview, library & Internet research, personal experience, vendor info, etc.
