7-1 Case Study: Using Social Media to Your Advantage

Guidelines

Case studies allow you to investigate organizational challenges within a real-life context. Scenarios focus on something real and particular that you can apply for continued learning.

 

Your case study analysis must be in APA format. Be sure to include a separate title and reference page, a brief abstract, an introduction, subheadings, and a conclusion. The requirements for this assignment are 4 to 6 pages in length (not including title and reference pages), double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and discipline-appropriate citations. Failure to adhere to these requirements of submission will result in the paper not being graded.
