1. The paper must be fifteen (15) to twenty pages (20), typed (double spaced), in APA format. Use standard margins (1” to 1.25”) and font (Times New Roman, 12).
2. The paper must be written in third person only.
3. Write the paper as if you were going to present the final draft to the person with the power to promote you. Reports that are not up to par with business standards (e.g., incomplete sentences, misspelled words, etc.) will not pass.
Sources used must be published and/or peer-reviewed. The outside references cannot include annual reports or websites from the firm for which you are researching (Intuit, Inc.). Published sources that you might consult include trade journals, industry publications and U.S. Department of Commerce publications. All of these sources should be properly cited. You will NOT receive a passing grade if this section is missing. You MUST use published sources.
Reasons your paper would receive a failing grade:
1. Insufficient industry analysis. Clearly define your industry and analyze it. You must discuss all the subheadings. Type all of the headings and subheadings.
2. Insufficient/no in text citations. You must indicate when you quote and paraphrase. These should be clearly and accurately cited with the author’s last name and page number (refer to APA guidelines.)
3. No references/bibliography page. You must include an accurate reference page. Again, refer to APA format. Simply putting a web address is not sufficient. The outside references cannot include annual reports or websites from the firm for which you work.
NOTE: the reference page should be alphabetical by the author’s last name.
4. Not enough/too many quotes. You need a minimum of eight sources. If necessary, you should have more quotes and paraphrases, but eight (8) is the minimum. You should not have all quotes be figures/numbers/statistics that are just thrown in to get the quote. Quotes are used to support your point. You should also not have too many quotes. If your paper is 30 percent or more quotes, you need to eliminate some. You should write your paper, your quotes should not write it.
FINAL PAPER REQUIRED CONTENTS (main body)
The report must contain all of the following HEADINGS:
Introduction
Industry Analysis: The firm for which you are writing this paper is one enterprise in a larger industry. An industry is a group of firms producing similar products or services, such as banking, fast food, or aerospace and is not limited to a geographic area. Your analysis should consider the
