In this unit, your team must start working on the assignment by selecting a topic and conducting research on the topic using the Cybrary or other Internet sites. You may either choose one of the topics listed below, or develop one as a team. Your instructor must approve all individually selected topics before you begin your research. Use the group discussion board to communicate with teammates.

What market factors led to the development of a product that you use frequently, and how are those factors different today? Note: We chose to research the market factors of the development of television.

There are two parts you must complete for this unit:

Part 1: Select your topic and research the topic to ensure there is enough information to support your paper. Submit your research links to the small group discussion board, with a brief description of what the link is and how it applies to the group project. These links will then be compiled onto one reference list as noted below.
Part 2: Develop the visual component of your report (taken from the data found in your research). Begin to develop your preliminary conclusions and recommendations based upon your research. Post your preliminary conclusions and recommendations to the Small Group Discussion Board for discussion among your group.
Combine both Parts 1 and 2 as follows: Create a sentence that identifies your chosen topic and prepare from your discussion on the small group discussion board your preliminary conclusions and recommendations section. Discuss how you will support your conclusions and recommendations in the text of the paper. Include in this assignment your visuals and a Reference List with your research links that contain the student’s name that submitted and the brief description discussed above. Submit the assignment to your instructor via the Small Group Drop Box.
