Can you help me understand this Business question?
Understanding the functions of interoffice memos is crucial when choosing the best communication channel in the workplace. Being able to analyze the audience and purpose of a scenario is an important skill to help you justify the necessity and effectiveness of a memo.
Let’s explore a unique scenario in which a New York law firm asked a paralegal to find better options for sushi. This request lead to the paralegal conducting research and generating a three-page memo complete with footnotes. The memo became an urban legend after an article about it was published in the New York Times. (Links to an external site.)
Your task is to read the New York Times article to help you write answers for the following questions and make sure to elaborate in at least 350 words:
- Explain why many people may think this memo is a joke.
- Did the writer choose the best delivery channel for this message?
- When would you use a memo to deliver the sushi option message?
