· You are solving this case as a current-day project -- write in the present tense!

· Write as a formal document submitted by a work team, so avoid 1st person (i.e. "I" or "We") and other personal pronouns. 

· If help is needed for general writing, contact the NU's Writing Center immediately. 

· Students should use National University's digital library for credible business sources and other peer-reviewed papers as references.

· Cite all sources used, including course textbooks and readings.
