Describe your organization, including the following information:
The products or services your organization produces
The size of your organization and its number of locations
The industry of which your organization is a part
Identify the emerging technology, practice, or process that will be the subject of your white paper, and then review at least three works that have been written about your subject in the past five years. You will use this research to inform your white paper.
Write a summary for each of the three works that you reviewed. Each summary should identify the title of the source, include a discussion of the main topics, and explain why the information is important.
