Abstract
Write the abstract last. The abstract paragraph is "not" indented; all other paragraphs are indented. The abstract is 120 words or less. The abstract is a brief summary about the contents of the paper. Abstracts are similar to the preview of a paperback book on the back of the book or the preview of a movie on the movie case; they are designed to make someone want to read the paper. What to include?
The content of the abstract includes:
· Motivation and purpose: main subject or research question and review of the relevant literature.
· Specifics: problem statement, approach, objectives, hypothesis, research methodology (method(s) adopted or search strategies).
· Results: main findings (proposed solutions to the problem) and discussion.
· Conclusions and implications/outcomes: what the results mean and further points.
As we can see, the abstract must state:
· The problem addressed and some background information.
· The solution or insight proposed (newly observed facts).
· An example that shows how it works.
· An evaluation: a comparison with existing answers/techniques.
Then, an abstract should provide answers for the following questions:
· What and why.
· What you found.
· How you did it.
· But how do we begin?
What would be an effective way to begin an abstract? To help you on your way let us consider some introductory sentences.
First, let us see some opening sentences that DO NOT offer real information:
1. This paper reports on a method for...
2. The paper explores the notions of...
3. The purpose of our research is to consider how...
4. The objective of this study is to determine...
Introduction
Introduction text here, providing historical information and background information on your project topic. Remember a paragraph must have a minimum of five sentences. Problem statement is the last sentence in introduction. The problem statement starts by stating the topic and then lists the three main problem of the paper; the three main problems become the subheadings within the paper. Introduction can engage readers in many ways, you can start your introduction by using one of the options below.
· Ask a question
· Identify a debate
· Give a comparison
· Explain a situation
· Describe a problem
· Quote an authority
· Cite an example
· Set up an intellectual problem
· Offer a hypothesis
An introduction should seek to engage readers so that they will become invested in your writing. In some contexts this means finding a way to persuade a reader who is reading 60 papers on the same topic that yours is worth paying special attention to. In other contexts this means helping a reader already committed to your work to recognize what unusual or exciting question your paper will address.
Problem Statement
The Problem Statement should always be followed by the introduction. You can use a separate section or just insert one sentence at the end of your introduction. Make sure you list 3 problems that this project will focuses on. This section is the question number 2 of your first assignment. Do not use bullets when writing your problem statement.
Background
The Background Section should reflect the history of the businesses.
Analysis
The Analysis section will focus on the problem you want to solve and you are required to use one or more analysis. Start this section with an introductory paragraph and let the reader know what type of analysis you are using. Provide the definition of the analysis (don’t forget to site it) Also, tell the reader why you chose this analysis. Do not use bullets when writing this section. Below is a link to help you with this section.

Recommendations and Implementations
Recommendation
Make sure to introduce your problem statement one more time and write an introductory paragraph when you start writing your recommendations (List the 3 recommendations) so the reader knows what they are going to read. Do not use bullets when you list the 3 recommendations
· Your recommendation should be the mirror image of your first assignment
· Make sure to site the graphs and tables in your recommendations or implementation
· Your sources should appear on the body of your paper as well as the Reference Page
· A paragraph consists of 5 sentences or more. If it is less than 5 sentences combine some of your sentences to make a paragraph.
· Anytime you see green or red underline it means that you have a grammatical or spelling error (sometimes there are names that shows red, you can leave those alone).
Recommendation 1
Make sure to write a paragraph and expand on recommendation number 1 and explain why it is important to use this recommendation. Make sure to support your claim with sources. At the end of the recommendation, list 3 of your implementation using transition sentence. Do not use bullets when you list the 3 implementations.
Implementation 1
Provide step by step how would you implement your implementation number one. Make sure to use at least one source to support your implementation. At the end of the implementation number one use a transition sentence.
Implementation 2
Provide step by step how would you implement your implementation number two. Make sure to use at least one source to support your implementation. At the end of the implementation number two use a transition sentence.
Implementation 3
Provide step by step how would you implement your implementation number three. Make sure to use at least one source to support your implementation. At the end of the implementation number three use a transition sentence.

Conclusion
Look back at your introduction, and read your problem statement. This is what you set out to “prove.” In your conclusion, you should restate the problem statement in such a way that it shows that you proved your point.
Write your recommendations, mentioning the ideas that you used to support your problem statement in the project paper. This must be done without being repetitive, so use other words and put the ideas in context. You gave specific details, facts and statistics in your body paragraphs, and now you must make a more generalized statement in the conclusion to impress the reader.
Address opposing viewpoints, if necessary. This strengthens your position by assuring your reader that you took other points of view into consideration.
Connect the topic with the company you were researching about. The conclusion is the place to show readers why they should care about the topic, and how the topic affects them.
Call for action on the part of the reader, or refer to future research of your topic. For example, if your project paper is about the need for energy efficiency, implore your reader to take steps toward a smaller “footprint,” and/or mention green solutions that are now being investigated.
End your project with a clincher. The clincher can be a prediction based on your research, a quotation that relates to the topic or a startling fact or statistic that supports your problem statement.
References
“Bibliography” or “Works Cited” – call this section what you want. Whatever the case, you must
list all resources that you used for this project. Therefore, it is imperative that you keep track of all the sources from your literature review and your recommendation assignment. Furthermore, in the text of the report you must cite your sources whenever you use ideas or data generated by someone else. You must cite these sources, even if you do not quote or paraphrase from them directly.
Your reference page should be APA style ( single space and insert space between the sources. Also make sure the first line is outward intended and second line is indented inwards).
Don't forget to put your references in alphabetical order by author’s last name. If one of your references begins with the word "The," put the rest of the name first and insert a comma, followed by the word The (example – Associated Press, The.).
