Final Paper

Submit your final paper. You may submit this paper anytime prior to the due date. (I will also accept "late" papers without penalty until Sunday, December 13, 11:59pm PDT, which is when we will have to distribute them for peer evaluation. No work will be accepted after that time.)

The paper should adhere to these specifications:

• PDF file format.
• Maximum of 1250 words per group member (i.e., if you are group of two, you may submit a maximum of 2500 words.) Less is more though, given you can make your argument. Any references/citations at the end of your document do not count against your word count.
• You may use as many exhibits as you'd like. However, please include them in the flow of the document oriented properly, as these will be read on-line and flipping to the back and/or rotating is inconvenient.
• Avoid fluffy cover sheets. Start with a title, the names of the authors, the date,and the word count. Then, dive right into the paper.
• The text should begin with a sentence something like "This paper answers the question " (That is, clearly state the question you are answering in the first paragraph.)

Grading criteria:

• Is the question clear, related to technology strategy, and real/current?
• Did you answer the question convincingly?
• Does the paper bring to bear the relevant concepts, tools, and methods from MGMT 731?
• Is the paper well written and free of mechanical/grammatical errors, including nicely designed exhibits?
