The paper will be turned into turnitin.com. There is a tab available below for posting your paper. In addition to the paper, you will then provide a power-point presentation deriving the main points of your paper and it will be posted on the discussion board. (similar to the group project’s presentation.) You will find a dedicated place to post your slide presentation.The final paper is due through turnitin.com by Feb. 28th. Once you post a paper, prior to the due date, you can’t re-post unless I remove it on my end. I would recommend that you make sure the paper is exactly how you want it to be prior to posting. Grammar, punctuation and APA formatting are heavily graded on the final paper. As MBA students, we should all be at a level of submitting properly formatted papers. Each year I have one or more students who do not know how to properly cite papers. Search for an APA guide and use the 20/80 rule, which is 20% citations and 80% in your own words. Please take your time and really create a paper you will be proud of.
