Reference Style:
Be sure to cite all sources used in compiling information, whether paraphrasing or directly quoting those sources. If you are using direct quotes, include page numbers in the citation. Examples of bibliographic references:

The most critical issue with respect to citation of sources is that the citation given in the text of the paper must match alphabetically a source in the reference list. Double-check and reconcile your reference list to make sure every citation is included!
Reference Quantity and Quality:
Your paper will be judged in part on the basis of your reference materials, both that you have used adequate sources to gain multiple perspectives and that these are respected, credible sources. It is expected that most of these are secondary sources, although primary sources are encouraged as well. A bibliography with fewer than 10 sources is likely to be judged as less than adequate.
Wikipedia may be used to help you identify credible sources, but do not rely on it as a reference. Multiple citations to Wikipedia will hurt your grade.
Tables:
All tables, figures, graphs, and exhibits included within the paper should be numbered (i.e., Figure 1) and given a descriptive heading. At the bottom of each, the word `Source’ with full bibliographic citation should be included, as shown below.
Due Date:
The project submission is due on 03/05/2024.
Two (02) students in each group.
You are required to submit the electronic copy of the project through LMS.

Have all external information sources been credited through reference citations? Has the specified reference style been followed? Do citations in text and reference list match? |
Creativity and Logic Do the strategy recommendations contain imaginative ideas? Do they reflect a logical thought process? Are they reasonable and consistent with basic marketing concepts and principles?
