BUSINESS PROBLEM FRAMEWORKS AND MIND MAPSOverview

Assume that you have been hired as a business consultant for the companies you analyzed in the Week 5 assignment. In this week’s assignment, you will be assessing the needs of the organization for improving organizational effectiveness. You will develop a business report where you will gather authoritative models and theories within scholarly and practitioner literature, using focused search techniques, for the purpose of assessing their credibility, relevance, and applicability for a specific leadership, marketing, or information management problem. Your audience for this business report is department managers who will be assigned to work on the business problems that you identified.
