BA 374 – Principles of Management

FINAL PROJECT PROMPT

FINAL PAPER:

Paper Portion (30% of Overall Grade)

Please write a paper in response to the following:

· Explore a “unique” firm’s (of your choosing) distinct management structure in detail while drawing upon the many managerial subjects that we briefly went over in class and that you will have considered per the required readings. Provide a short summary about the company’s founding/history and then describe some of the distinctive managerial features that set/s the company apart.

Too, please proof read as you write and be sure to reference outside scholarly sources in addition to. If you are a tad rusty at writing these kinds of papers here is a very helpful link that I have given my students over the years: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/658/1/

The paper needs to have a Cover Page, 6-8 full pages (double-spaced) of written text (INTRO>BODY>CONCLUSION), and a Bibliography Page. In sum, and with the additional Cover and Bibliography pages, y'all should be handing in anywhere from 8-10 pages really.

· How will you I be graded on the Paper?

· Like the midterm, you will be graded for (see attached rubric):

· Organization

· Level of Content

· Development

· Grammar and Mechanics

· Style

· Format

It is due by Monday, March 5th, at the beginning of class. Unless you have an accommodation, absolutely no late papers will be accepted after this point. A hard copy is expected. Further, please note that, again, I grade rather heavily on these and that you will want to give it your all. Because I don't inundate my students with busy work during the term (although you might feel otherwise) I tend to treat the Midterm and Final as the core of your graded work in this course.
