Theoretical Background
• The theory of innovation diffusion claims that new
products or processes can be accepted by a majority
after influencers accept the innovation (Author, 0000,
para. 00).
• The principle of bottom-up management claims that
innovations are more successful if these originate from
the user majority (Author, 0000, para. 00).
Theoretical Application
• In Week 2, the socialization stage, program goals can be
explained and submitted for approval by AIU students
who are considered as influencers.
• Benefits can help convince the influencers to distribute
the posters (Week 3) and to implement the program
(Week 4).
• In the planning stages, the hostel residents will be
involved in the finalization of the poster, schedules, and
room cleanliness assessment rubrics.

• Credibility Gaps – Some influencers may not be
credible to some groups of students. Solution: Seek
student solutions to address this problem (Author,
0000, para. 00).
• Recidivism – Some students may revert to old habits or
cultural standards that negate the program goals.
Solution: Seek student solutions to strengthen
implementation methods & standards (Buthor, 0000,
para. 00).

Statement of the Problem & Proposal
In two weeks, I will submit an A3-sized poster with 10
pictures showing 10 steps to maintain hostel room
cleanliness in less than 20 minutes a day.
Timeline & Implementation Strategy
Proposed Poster Design
Methodology
1. This section contains a step-by-step instruction that
others can follow to reproduce the same results.
2. The steps clearly show how the proposed poster’s
contents and design were planned, selected, and
arranged. For example:
3. The ten areas in a hostel room that requires most
attention will be identified.
4. A five-step cleaning & arrangement guide is formulated
to fit the needs of these ten areas.
5. The five-step guide is tested and revised with the help of
5 students with the dirtiest rooms.
6. Photographs are taken and used on a poster.
7. The poster is reproduced and posted in each hostel
room.
8. An implementation schedule and names of checkers are
posted beside each poster.
9. Penalties and rewards are added to the announcement.
10.. A weekly record will measure the frequency of
cleanliness and order in each hostel room.
