Write an effective formal report on a current business issue (within the six months before the due date) inclusive of the following parts:
Title page
Table of contents
Executive summary
Body with at least one page with graphic/s, and appropriate referencing (APA or MLA style
The total length of the body is three to four pages (double spaced) not including the
title page, table of contents, executive summary, and reference page.
Proper in-text citations complying with APA or MLA requirements are expected for this assignment. The graphic should be within the body of the paper, not at the beginning or at the end.
Remember to check that your similarity match on Turnitin is no higher than 20%. If it is higher, check to ensure the direct quotes you have included only quote the minimum number of words you need to make the point (and paraphrase the rest).
12 point font
One inch margins

-In-text citations for everything that is not common knowledge
-Works Cited (MLA) or References (APA) page for all research papers

At least three sources for research papers to avoid bias (not a college requirement but a common sense one to reduce the chance of bias)
