Paper , Order, or Assignment Requirements

The following format is required:
Title Page: The title is a concise statement of the subject of the paper. On the title page include your name and title of the learning contract below the title of the paper. The information should be centered on the page.

Abstract: The abstract is an “executive overview” of your paper. It should be a 50-to-l00 word summary that would be appropriate to give your manager so that he/she would know the essence of your project without reading the paper in its entirety.

Table of Contents: In this section, list each section of your paper, with the page number. The list should include:

Tables and Figures if you included more than two;
Appendices, if included;
Reference section listing sources used.
Introduction: In this section, state the purpose of the paper in succinct, declarative sentences. Convince your reader that:

the study has a practical value and meaning for you, and

the study is based upon the concepts studied in the course.

Background and Significance: This section provides further justification of the need for your study. If your project examines a topic drawn from your work, you should include a description of your work environment, your position in the organization and how your position fits into the organization, both vertically and horizontally.

Explain the applicable concepts from the course. If your project is focused on a particular organization, explain how these concepts apply to that organization. What is the organization doing well? Would it benefit by adopting some of the concepts you have been studying?

Discussion and Implications: In this section, you should provide a thorough discussion of your findings and the implications of your study. Be sure to include only the pertinent implications.
