Project Proposal

Submit a short (a page and half) Project Proposal, indicating the name and relevant aspect(s) of DELTA AIRLINES as a subject for your report. The proposal must be accompanied by

1. Annotated bibliography.
The project proposal should be a page and half (double spaced)
1. Description of the organization that you propose to analyze with a summary of the scope (e.g., entire organization, key business area, major system, etc.) for the risk assessment you are expected to conduct.
2. The proposal should identify DELTA AIRLINES with a brief explanation of why you chose the subject for this assignment.
3. The proposal should also describe the research methods to be used and anticipated sources of research information sources.

5 significant articles relevant to your subject organization and to identifying and assessing risks in a context similar to the scope of your report. For a report of this nature you may expect to find useful sources in both business-focused (e.g., Business Source Premier, Business and Company Resource Center, ABI/Inform) and technically-focused databases (e.g., ACM Digital Library, IEEE, Gartner.com). The annotated bibliography will consist of 100 words per article, that describe the main ideas of the article, a discussion of the usefulness of such an article in understanding various aspects of you report, and other comments you might have after reading the article. For each article, there should be a complete reference in APA format. Your Annotated Bibliography will then form the basis of the sources for your report. (You may also supplement the references used in your report with additional reference material.)

The grading criteria for the proposal are as follows:
1. Organization Selected & Justification (Right Scope and Relevance): 60%
2. Research methods proposed (Bibliography): 40%
