the management question, “How can enrollment in this course be increased?” Your
assignment will be to formulate 5 research questions, each of which is an action that
management might take to solve the dilemma. Ensure then you specify what
exploration will be necessary.

2 - 3 double-spaced, APA formatted pages; and
Includes at least two (2) references to this week’s materials.

dilemma.

and/or research to answer the question cogently.
