This week you are required to submit an evaluation. Your paper analysis should be between 3 – 5 pages, not counting the title and reference page. No submission should be fewer than 1050 words.
Include a clear and concise introduction.
Format your case study assignment paper so that the three questions asked below are clearly defined using short headings. Double space your work, cite your work, limit quotes, and edit your work well for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. If you use any quotes, you must increase the length of your paper to compensate. Make sure you have two additional references other than the text and use citations.
This evaluation will be based on the company case studies provided here. There are 10 to choose from. You are to pick ONE (1) of the companies and you must use a different company than you used in the week three paper. You may not have two papers about the same company. You may not use a paper or any part of a paper from a previous class. Name your selection on your title page.
Most of the case studies have authors listed within them. Use those authors to formulate your reference listing and citations. If there is no author listed, use the text as a reference where they were derived.
