ENGL 420: Business Writing

Wal-Mart is the biggest retailer in the United States, and because of this there is a ton of information ont he internet, on cable news channels, and in local newspapers. Group #8 has met one time out of class and that was the type our memo. After our first meeting I feel like we have good chemistry as a group. I remember various times while writing that we finished each other's sentences and made suggestions to wording to one another. The sources I have found are very revalent.

So far our group has only met once where we wrote the first group deliverable as a team. The first source I have is a power point from an associate professor at Ohio State which states several facts about Wal-mart’s size, growth, benefits, effects and many other specific topics. This is perfect for our project because it is a completely non-biased power point and gives the sources from which its information comes from. The second source is a pbs.org Nightly Business Report which focuses on the scrutiny of the cases imposed on Wal-mart.

So far, it seems that our project is going well, as we have found extensive information on our topic. We have finished our memo, and are researching to find other possible solutions to our problem.
