explain how might a firm’s management decide whether it should continue to invest in current known technology or in new, but untested technology? What factors might encourage or discourage such a shift?
Find something that has either currently become popular or just lost its popularity: Pokemon, Super Hero movies, Latin music, Fidget Spinners, gameshows, etc. Explain your theory on either what made that particular subject popular in the first place or what caused it to fall out of favor. Or you can explain what the effects of this trend might be or have been on American culture. Purpose: Remember that you are writing this essay to explain WHY something happened, or WHAT has or will happen because of the original situation. Your subject itself is either the end point of the causes or the starting point of the effects. The reader needs to know how this information will help them understand things better. You are NOT just proving that these situations or circumstances are connected. Somehow knowing that connection has to be usable by the audience. Even if it′s just understanding the subject as more complex than the reader originally thought, there needs to be some value added to the subject. Always remember that you are presenting us with A cause or An effect, the THE cause or THE effect. There are always more ways to interpret the situation. You are simply presenting us with your best understanding/interpretation of the situation. Organization: Be aware of the difference between immediate and remote causes and effects. The farther away from the subject you get with remote causes and/or effects, the more carefully you have to explain the connections or links between your subject and the cause/effect. You can choose to emphasize one cause or effect if you wish, but realize that it will require much more development and explanation. If you choose to deal with several causes or effects, make sure that you indicate which ones are the most significant, and organize accordingly. Audience: Try to remember that your audience does not know as much as you do. Even if they know more facts about the subject, they don′t know YOUR understanding as well as you do. Your job is to explain to the reader how YOU interpret the information and how YOU see things fitting together.
