Your “X” provided in a Word document will address:

· The current policy

· The need for change

· The suggested change

· The cost implications

No one is to download the social media website “X” 

If you have a personal account or use “X,” do not submit this course assignment in “X.” 

This assignment is completed as a Word document (without title or reference page) and submitted to the Dropbox.
