The Individual Assignment requires students to develop an argumentative essay on a business practice. 

Students should look at a business in their local area and identify a controversial business decision. This could be a situation such as location of a new landfill, rate hikes, a business closure, and so forth.

Select the business situation

Write a 1,050-word argumentative essay on your approved business decision including the following:

• Discuss why the business decision is good or not good for business.
• Define the term “good” for the purpose of this situation.
• Identify the premise and conclusion by placing a number in bold at the beginning of the sentence with the word premise or conclusion. For example: (1, Premise), (2, Premise), (1, Conclusion), (2, Conclusion).
  • Sentences labeled as “1, premise” are premises for the sentence labeled as “1, conclusion.”
  • All premises should be labeled for each conclusion in the article. If a sentence is a conclusion and a premise for another conclusion, place two labels.
  • At the end of the paper, identify one example of how you used deductive reasoning and one example of how you used inductive reasoning.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
