1. Introduction (first level heading)
This is NOT Step I in the work sheet. This is an overall description/explanation of your topic, and importance of the topic. This section should be about ONE page long.
Make sure to use in-text citations here from your other listed references.
2. Four-Step Analysis
ALL STEPS in the WORKSHEET MUST BE INCLUDED in this section. DO NOT simply copy from the worksheet though.
This is the bulk of your paper. At least ONE case must be identified and discussed (check out the final paper requirements for details). At least two case articles that are related to the same case should be cited in this section.
Use the Four-Step Case Analysis Worksheet we used for case study as your guideline, put your discussions into sections with section headings. Analyze that issue thoroughly.
Make sure to use in-text citations here from your references (at least your case articles should be cited here).
Below is an example of the list of sections you may want to include in your paper. You may organize your paper differently. However, you do need to complete all FOUR steps as we did in case studies.
1.1. Cases Identified
This is Step I for the case analysis. The case related to your topic along with the in-text citation are identified as the introduction of this section. Make sure to cite BOTH articles.
1. Case Facts
Present the facts (especially the technology involved) you gathered from the case here with in-text citations. The facts must be compiled from BOTH case articles while in-text citation only need to be presented at the beginning of the discussion. No need to repeat the in-text citation for each fact presented.
1. Ethical Value and Stakeholders Analysis
Present the ethical values in question based on the case facts here. You can present the stakeholder analysis in a table similar to the one you use in case analysis.
