The assignment is about persuading classmates to share the view that fraudulent carriers and double brokering in the freight brokerage industry is a problem that needs to be examined and solved.

This week we will continue the work you did in the week 2 discussion, zeroing in on the topic for your final paper.
Describe a problem you might want to explore in your final paper. Then try to persuade your classmates to share your view that this problem needs to be looked at. Your initial post will have two parts: Please include a 3 TOPIC THESIS STATEMENT AT TOP OF DISCUSSION IN BOLD.
What is the problem? Describe it in terms of who, what, where, when, how, and why.
Why should this problem be examined? Persuade your peers that money/time should be committed to this problem. Use the appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos (described here in Types of Persuasive Appeals) as appropriate to convince them that this is an important issue to be studied and/or solved.
WEEK 2 DISCUSSION:
PART 1: I have read the policies on plagiarism and AI and agree to follow them.
PART 2: I will be leaning towards my career (Freight Brokerage) I am in now as my topic which is Reverse Logistics Management. As I explored in the library I came across an advanced search engine known as ABI/INFORM where you can find reports on industries and markets from Business Monitor International (BMI) and First Research. I fell in love with it immediately, you can choose a source type, document type and even the language you prefer.
PART 3: I will be conducting my topic on why companies should invest in premier technology providers to prevent fraud and double brokering incidents. Within the freight brokerage industry, fraud is considered a cancer and there are many companies that struggle with there respective carrier management and vetting processes. They simply lack the tools to carefully identify whether a carrier is an “acceptable” carrier to hire or an “unacceptable” carrier meaning to refrain from using. I will dig deeper into this topic and explain more in detail. The problem is fraudulent carriers and the double brokering of freight, this problem affects three separate parties and the overall supply/demand of the economy. Those parties are the two customers and the third party freight brokerage company.
