In this assignment, you will create your Problem and Purpose Statements. Problem statements ground the phenomenon of concern within the larger context of the problem, identify the need for the study and once the larger problem is articulated, they identify the specific problem proposed for the research. Problem statements must be of sufficient depth to be sustainable through the entire research process.

Develop a draft problem statement that aligns with your program of study–DBA, DHA, DM, DM/IST, EDD, EDD/CI, or EDD/ET. Also develop a draft purpose paragraph that aligns with the problem.

Write 700- to 1,050-word paper that includes your problem statement and purpose.
