Final Paper
OVERVIEW
You are required to submit a final paper at the end of the course. As part of your course requirements, in Module 4 you must submit a final paper outline, worth 5% of your total course grade. Your mentor must approve this outline. The paper itself, due in the last week of the course, is worth 15% of your total course grade. Consult the Course Calendar for due dates.
FINAL PAPER TOPIC
Take any simple item (e.g. a pencil) and discuss how every aspect of that product relates to every chapter from the manufacturing aspect to the purchasing of the final product by the ultimate consumer.
FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION
Explain every aspect of your selected item in a 15-20 page report. Think carefully and describe how each chapter would apply to your item. If you believe that a particular chapter does not apply, please describe why.
Formulate your paper in your own words; do not merely copy from your reading materials and from Internet sources. Be sure to support the points you make with information from your course materials and from outside sources. Cite and document all sources of information with an appropriate reference.
Your final paper is worth 15 percent of your course grade and should follow your approved outline.
I HAVE AN OUTLINE ALREADY APPROVED WITH COMMENTS FROM PROFESSOR
COMMENT FROM MY PROFESSOR
“Please provide more detail to this outline. You should try to incorporate all the chapters that we cover in class; some may not be as pertinent as others but they should all be addressed in some manner. For example, how will your shoe company be structured? What kind of leadership style? How will you motivate your workers? When and how will you repay
investors?'”
