developing a TCO model for one of your primary products (not services). Explain the pros and cons of
applying a TCO model by giving specific evidence and examples from other organizations. (Two to three
pages, double spaced, 12-point font, one-inch margins.)
Required Elements of the TCO:

organizations
Required Formatting of the TCO:
The TCO should be double spaced, 12-point font, and two to three pages in length excluding the title
page and reference page.
•Third person writing is required. Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we,
or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing). If uncertain how
to write in the third person, view this link:

•Contractions are not used in business writing, so you are expected NOT to use contractions in writing
this assignment.
•Title page
•Use headings to help organize the paper
•Use APA formatting for in-text citations and reference page. You are expected to paraphrase and not
use quotes. Deductions will be taken when quotes are used and found to be unnecessary.

course eBook can be used. When using a source document, the expectation is that the information is
cited and referenced with a page or paragraph number.
