Introduce material here… This is basically a one or two paragraph (can be more) overview of the subject. This is how I want your paper turned in. Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. This is why you would have to give a quick overview to explain it to him or her. This is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Remember that you got this information from the textbook. Consequently, you should cite McShane and Von Glinow (2017). You should NOT write “According to the textbook” as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. If you are citing from the actual video, use Neri (2009).

If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. The paper should be written in third person narrative. I do not want to see you writing in the first person. Note: I have bolded the required headings that must be present in the paper and please keep bolded. One other note: a business is an “it,” not a “they.” Remember that when you use pronouns describing a business.

Attributes of IDEO’s Innovation

In this section, you will briefly describe what you will cover. It should only take a few sentences. Remember, you will be addressing the direction to, “write a summary of the attributes in IDEO organization that encourage and enhances innovation in an organization. Make sure you include your own critical thinking on the subject matter.”

Level 2 Heading (possible attribute)

You determine what are your headings, and you will have to name them accordingly. If you need subheadings (level 3), then they will look like that which is below. If you do not need them, just remove them.

Level 3 heading. The text would start here. Notice that the only word in capital leaders is the first word. You can add more level 3 headings, you can remove it, it is up to you. I am just providing a template.

Level 2 Heading (possible attribute)

You determine what are your headings, and you will have to name them accordingly. If you need subheadings (level 3), then add them (like above). If you do not need them, then do not add them.

Level 2 Heading (possible attribute)

You determine what are your headings, and you will have to name them accordingly. If you need subheadings (level 3), then add them. If you do not need them, then do not add them.

Level 2 Heading (possible attribute) (use additional headings as needed)

Note: I do not want to see heading written as questions or you asking questions within the paper. You determine what are your headings, and you will have to name them accordingly. If you need subheadings (level 3), then add them. If you do not need them, just remove them.

Also, you must provide at least six scholarly references and cite the references in the form of in-text citations in the body of the paper (i.e., the textbook and SIX additional sources). Again, when you reference material in your paper, you must also have in-text citations in the body of the paper for each reference. Remember, EVERY citation must correspond to a reference and EVERY reference must correspond to a citation. You CANNOT have one without the other.

Summary and Conclusions

This section will tie together all sources used for this case study, conclusions drawn from the reading and any inconsistencies. This section will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice the paper has a continuous flow; there are no page breaks between sections. The only page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction and the summary/conclusions and the reference page. All references for the case study must appear on a separate page (see the following page for an example).

References

This section will reference all original work cited throughout the paper. The heading should appear at the top of the page and all reference material should be listed below in alphabetical order by first last name; also, the title for books is always in italic format and in sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title for articles is in sentence format, not in italic, but the name of the publisher is in italics. See examples below:
