Abstract-


Introduction- Have you ever wonder what will happen once we start running out of raw materials. Is reverse logistics and the secondhand market the future of solving our hunger for products when raw material are becoming more scares every day? 

Literature Review- Studies have shown that secondhand products are getting popular and have increased in demand because people are learning about the importance of sustainable consumption ( Henkel, 2017)

Findings- It has always been known that reverse logistics is a necessary evil. With economies running out of raw materials many companies have switch their efforts to recycling and have promoted the secondhand market.  They can see that to be sustainable for the future we have to realize that new isn’t always going to work. 

Conclusion- With the ever-growing population a new type of framework will succeed in the near future. Reverse logistics will be the new norm for all companies and the secondhand market won’t be seen with such a negative view. The future is coming, and the future has created a market for used materials that’s funnel through reverse logistics.

Evaluate the internal processes or strategies within an organization in which you are involved, such as your workplace, school, church, or community group, in order to identify a problem that provides an opportunity for innovation. Then, determine an innovative solution for addressing that problem. Examples of potential solutions are entering a new market, implementing a new practice or process, or even changing management structures. The ultimate goal of your solution should be to increase the diffusion of innovation within the organization and contribute to a culture that appreciates innovation as a key to competitive advantage and organizational success.

Though your final paper will not be due until the end of the course, you should identify your problem and generate potential solutions early on. Begin drafting your implementation plan in stages as you work through the course topics. As with your CLC project, you should research and select a model for evaluating both the feasibility of your idea and the implementation plan.

Describe the problem your innovation targets. What is the scope of the problem and which stakeholders, both within the organization and without, does it impact?
Describe your innovation and explain how it addresses the problem. How will it meet the needs of the organization and all stakeholders involved?
How does the innovation contribute to the organization’s competitive advantage?
Develop an implementation plan for effectively diffusing the innovation within the organization. Make sure the plan addresses potential resistance and obstacles, including people and processes.
Identify an appropriate method that could be used for measuring the impact of the innovation on the organization. Explain why you think this is a relevant measure.
Finally, assume your innovation is adopted by the organization. Make recommendations for additional improvements within in this organization (in processes, practices, structures, etc.) that could create and sustain momentum for innovation.
Include at least eight in-text citations from at least five secondary resources from your research.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Paper Instructions:

Your final research project will provide you with the opportunity to examine a problem or issue of concern in a real organization. You will develop a course of action by applying concepts and applications from this course. You may choose a public, private, or not-for-profit organization in which you have been employed (past or present) or you may choose an organization of interest to you. In selecting the organization, it is important to consider the range and depth of research analysis available to you. Information may be accessed through direct communications with people from the organization, data from the media (such as newspapers, webcasts, etc.), organizational literature, the organization’s website, professional journals/articles, and other secondary sources.


You must identify a recent problem or issue from within the past three years. This primary focus of this project is your analysis of the problem or issue; it is not merely an historical account of a problem and the company's solution. Your analysis of the problem or issue may or may not align with the organization’s previous or proposed course of action. In general, your final research project should provide the organization with the most effective course of action to address their problem or issue, based on the application of key principles, concepts, and theories of organizational behavior.


For this activity, you will submit an outline for your research project to your instructor for evaluation.


Your outline should follow and expand on the basic Experiential Learning Model, i.e., contain a section for each of the following segments at the highest level of the outline:

image of outline  
1.    contain a section for each of the following segments at the highest level of the outline:


Again, rather than simply choosing topics from the text as your starting point, start with one personal experience from the workplace or researched experience from an organization that can be linked to course content/topic areas.


Your submission for this activity should consist of 2-3 pages, and include an outline of your CONCRETE EXPERIENCE and an outline of some REFLECTIVE OBSERVATION based on that experience. Then discuss at least two related course content/topic areas that relate to the topic and experience in the ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION portion of the outline, and finish with an outline of possible learning you have realized, based on your analysis of theory applied to that experience in the ACTIVE EXPERIMENTATION section of the outline.


Obviously, you may experience further learning as you go through this process; therefore, the outline can certainly be adjusted prior to submitting the final research paper. You do not have to re-submit this outline, if it is later altered during the course.


Your assignment should follow APA guidelines by including a title page, and be in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double spaced, with one inch margins.
