Note to students: This is an example of a paper formatted to
generally align with APA manuscript standards. It is offered as
one example approach to formatting professional papers. Other
formatting conventions are also acceptable. The point is for you
to follow a manuscript format that is consistent and
professional. The JWMI intends for you to focus on learning
course topics rather than being preoccupied with manuscript
formatting details. Having a template to follow should make
formatting your papers easier.

Abstract
Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts
will help students confidently structure professional papers.
This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in
this program and in their professional writing. The approach is
based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The
topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings,
quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed.
The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph,
without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the
manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader
with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The
total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence
written concisely.
Introduction
Learning to write in a recognized
professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve
effective academic and professional writing. Using an
established manuscript format is more efficient for the author
and the reader, leading to more effective communication.
According to a College Board (2004) survey of 120 major
American corporations, “in today’s workplace writing is a
threshold skill for hiring and promotion among salaried (i.e.,
professional) employees” (p. 3). Thus, excellent writing is one
of the most important objectives of a business education. To
help students achieve this professional advantage, the Jack
Welch Management Institute requires all students to develop a
professional writing style. The following sections discuss and
are examples of the basics of one commonly used manuscript
style, APA. Note that this manuscript format does not include
all details of APA.
General Manuscript Format
The body of the paper should have one inch margins and use
a 12 pt. font that is easy to read, such as Times New Roman.
To aid ease of reading, double space throughout the paper.
Align the manuscript flush left, resulting in an uneven right
margin. Indent paragraphs five to seven spaces. Page numbers
are one inch from the top right edge of the paper. Page numbers
are not required for short papers, yet useful for longer ones.
Headings
Begin each major section of the paper with the topic heading
in bold font, centered at the top of the page. The body of the
text is typically divided into subsections as shown in this
template. Usually these subsections represent the primary
elements suggested by the assignment. In fact, one of the first
steps in organizing a paper is to determine the section topics
that fully address the assignment. Sharing section topics with
the professor is one way to assure the assignment is
comprehensively addressed and eliminate uncertainty regarding
requirements. Using sections in the body of a is not only an
excellent organizational approach, doing so helps the reader
understand the flow of reasoning. The title of this section,
“Headings,” is the first level of APA manuscript heading.
Below is an example of a second level heading.
Subsections
Sections can be divided into subsections. An example is a
Method section of a research paper being divided into
Participants, Materials, and Procedure subsections. It is
unlikely that a paper will require more than the two levels.
However, if needed, the third level should look like the heading
shown below.
Heading Level 3. Begin text on this line.Citations and
References
All sources applied in a paper must be cited on a separate
“References” page at the end of the paper. It is not included in
the page count. Within the body of the paper, when concepts
from specific sources are used, a citation containing the
author’s last name and year of publication within parentheses
indicates the cited source; for example, (Welch, 2005). The
author’s last name corresponds with the entry on the References
page, allowing readers to look up the source of the citation. We
do not recommend the use of footnotes. All citations should be
placed in the body of the document.
An example of a References page is located at the end of this
template. References are listed in alphabetical order. Do not list
references that are not applied. Note that APA uses the "hanging
indent" style for references. One easy way to do this is to type
each reference without worrying about the hanging indent.
When finished, select (highlight) all the references and then
open the Citations and Bibliography dialog box in Word. Select
APA. If available, in the Indentation area, under Special, choose
Hanging and then a distance for the indentation.
Course Lectures and Media
Application of course materials is required in papers and
discussions. For discussions, informal or formal citations are
acceptable. For example:
· "As noted in our first lecture..."
· Or, (Week 3, Lecture 1) or (W3, L1)
· If material is from another course, indicate the course number
and as much information as recollected, (JWIxxx, Week 3,
Video)
For papers, use formal citations and references as follows.
· If the material is from the current course: (Week 3, Lecture 1)
· If the material is from another course: (JWIxxx, Week 3,
Lecture 1), or as much as recollected
For the reference section in a paper, simply list JWIxxx, Week
3, Lecture 1, with the lecture title,
as appropriate. References are not required in discussions unless
the material is found outside of
the course content.
Quotations
Originality is an important aspect of graduate writing. To
ensure original thinking, “quoting should be done only
sparingly; be sure that you have a good reason to include a
direct quotation when you decide to do so” (Quoting,
Paraphrasing, n.d.). Notice the placement of the quotation
marks, citation, and final punctuation after the citation.
Guidelines for quotations are based upon the length of the
quote. Quotes with fewer than 40 words are quoted directly in
the sentence. The in-text citation for a direct quote must include
the author(s), year, and page number. See the example for the
indented quote below.
Quotations longer than 40 words follow different guidelines.
Include these quotes in an indented block.
Start long quotes on a new line and indent five spaces from the
left margin. Also, double-space the lines and omit quotation
marks. If more than one paragraph is quoted, indent the first
line of additional paragraphs by .5 inch. Include a reference
citation after the closing punctuation. (Bowman, 2012, p. 1)
Conclusion (and/or Recommendation)
This manuscript style template is offered as a possible
template for papers and discussion posts. A consistent and
professional formatting of papers is expected, rather than
adherence to every detail of APA or other manuscript format. A
basic tutorial can be found at
http://flash1r.apa.org/apastyle/basics/index.htm. A sample paper
applying the complete APA manuscript style can be found at

Assignment 4: The Corporate Rundown (Note- please use the
same company that was used in assignment #1)
The following are specific course learning outcomes associated
with this assignment:
in advanced financial management.
management using proper writing
mechanics.
Introduction:
’s let Mr. Charlie
Munger, co-chairman of Berkshire-
Hathaway, say his piece on the power of financial incentives
once more: “Never, ever think about
something else when you should be thinking about the power of
incentives.” Of course, we agree,
and we want you to learn how to evaluate financial incentives
that you’ll discover in the corporate
world. We also want you to be able to assess relatively strong
and weak corporate governance
systems. That’s the crux of this final assignment.
e you to do is to identify a public
company (preferably one that you’re familiar
with from prior assignments). Then, we’d like you to examine
and analyze its governance
principles, structures, and practices.
decision-
maker will understand the power that
governance and strong systems have over financial performance,
and thus it’s important to train
ourselves to be acutely aware of these issues. Here’s how we
recommend approaching the
assignment:
o Head to edgar.sec.gov to access your company’s financial
statements (or any site where
you feel comfortable accessing your company’s financial
statements, including the
company’s own homepage).
o Pull up the proxy statement (it’s also called the 14A, the
DEF14A, and occasionally the
PRE14A).
o Read the statement in its entirety and reflect.
Write a 3-4 page paper in which you do the following:
1. Determine whether the board seems appropriately constituted.
Are these people qualified to be
governing a business of this type? (Read their bios and even
Google them for more info.)
2. Assess the committees the board members sit on. Are they
appropriately staffed?
3. Assess the management. How long have they been with the
company? What is their relative
experience?
4. Evaluate the board’s philosophy on executive compensation.
5. Discuss the metrics tied to the CEO’s inventive
compensation. Are they sound metrics or not?
6. Determine if compensation is reasonable considering the
company’s financial performance.
7. Determine if related-party transactions (sometimes called
“transactions with related parties”)
exist, and if they do, whether they are reasonable.
Your assignment should adhere to these guidelines:
-organized, conventional business
style. Use Times New Roman font size
12 or similar, double-space, and leave ample white space per
page.
must be cited appropriately. Check with
your professor for any additional instructions on citations.
he first page or in a header, include the title of the
assignment, the student’s name, the
professor’s name, the course title, and the date. Title and
reference pages are not included in the
assignment page length.
assignments over or
under the assignment guidelines.
Check with your individual professor if you feel the assignment
requires a much longer or shorter
treatment than recommended.
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality,
logic/organization of the paper, and
language and writing skills, using the following grading
criteria.

Provide at least one example to support your answer. 1 Note to students: This is an example of a paper formatted to generally align with APA manuscript standards. It is offered as one example approach to formatting professional papers. Other formatting conventions are also acceptable. The point is for you to follow a manuscript format that is consistent and professional. The JWMI intends for you to focus on learning
  • 2. course topics rather than being preoccupied with manuscript formatting details. Having a template to follow should make formatting your papers easier. Title of Paper Author’s Name Jack Welch Management Institute Professor’s Name Course Number Date Abstract Following generally accepted rules for preparing manuscripts will help students confidently structure professional papers. This manuscript provides a basic layout for students to apply in this program and in their professional writing. The approach is based upon the sixth edition of the APA guidelines (2009). The topics of general formatting, the introduction, section headings, quotations, citations, conclusion, and references are discussed. The APA guidelines define an abstract as a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief summary of the paper, such as this abstract. The total length should not exceed 120 words, with each sentence written concisely. Introduction Learning to write in a recognized professional format, such as APA, will help students achieve effective academic and professional writing. Using an established manuscript format is more efficient for the author and the reader, leading to more effective communication. According to a College Board (2004) survey of 120 major
  • 3. American corporations, “in today’s workplace writing is a threshold skill for hiring and promotion among salaried (i.e., professional) employees” (p. 3). Thus, excellent writing is one of the most important objectives of a business education. To help students achieve this professional advantage, the Jack Welch Management Institute requires all students to develop a professional writing style. The following sections discuss and are examples of the basics of one commonly used manuscript style, APA. Note that this manuscript format does not include all details of APA. General Manuscript Format The body of the paper should have one inch margins and use a 12 pt. font that is easy to read, such as Times New Roman. To aid ease of reading, double space throughout the paper. Align the manuscript flush left, resulting in an uneven right margin. Indent paragraphs five to seven spaces. Page numbers are one inch from the top right edge of the paper. Page numbers are not required for short papers, yet useful for longer ones. Headings Begin each major section of the paper with the topic heading in bold font, centered at the top of the page. The body of the text is typically divided into subsections as shown in this template. Usually these subsections represent the primary elements suggested by the assignment. In fact, one of the first steps in organizing a paper is to determine the section topics that fully address the assignment. Sharing section topics with the professor is one way to assure the assignment is comprehensively addressed and eliminate uncertainty regarding requirements. Using sections in the body of a is not only an excellent organizational approach, doing so helps the reader understand the flow of reasoning. The title of this section, “Headings,” is the first level of APA manuscript heading. Below is an example of a second level heading. Subsections
  • 4. Sections can be divided into subsections. An example is a Method section of a research paper being divided into Participants, Materials, and Procedure subsections. It is unlikely that a paper will require more than the two levels. However, if needed, the third level should look like the heading shown below. Heading Level 3. Begin text on this line.Citations and References All sources applied in a paper must be cited on a separate “References” page at the end of the paper. It is not included in the page count. Within the body of the paper, when concepts from specific sources are used, a citation containing the author’s last name and year of publication within parentheses indicates the cited source; for example, (Welch, 2005). The author’s last name corresponds with the entry on the References page, allowing readers to look up the source of the citation. We do not recommend the use of footnotes. All citations should be placed in the body of the document. An example of a References page is located at the end of this template. References are listed in alphabetical order. Do not list references that are not applied. Note that APA uses the "hanging indent" style for references. One easy way to do this is to type each reference without worrying about the hanging indent. When finished, select (highlight) all the references and then open the Citations and Bibliography dialog box in Word. Select APA. If available, in the Indentation area, under Special, choose Hanging and then a distance for the indentation. Course Lectures and Media Application of course materials is required in papers and discussions. For discussions, informal or formal citations are acceptable. For example: · "As noted in our first lecture..."
  • 5. · Or, (Week 3, Lecture 1) or (W3, L1) · If material is from another course, indicate the course number and as much information as recollected, (JWIxxx, Week 3, Video) For papers, use formal citations and references as follows. · If the material is from the current course: (Week 3, Lecture 1) · If the material is from another course: (JWIxxx, Week 3, Lecture 1), or as much as recollected For the reference section in a paper, simply list JWIxxx, Week 3, Lecture 1, with the lecture title, as appropriate. References are not required in discussions unless the material is found outside of the course content. Quotations Originality is an important aspect of graduate writing. To ensure original thinking, “quoting should be done only sparingly; be sure that you have a good reason to include a direct quotation when you decide to do so” (Quoting, Paraphrasing, n.d.). Notice the placement of the quotation marks, citation, and final punctuation after the citation. Guidelines for quotations are based upon the length of the quote. Quotes with fewer than 40 words are quoted directly in the sentence. The in-text citation for a direct quote must include the author(s), year, and page number. See the example for the indented quote below. Quotations longer than 40 words follow different guidelines. Include these quotes in an indented block. Start long quotes on a new line and indent five spaces from the left margin. Also, double-space the lines and omit quotation
  • 6. marks. If more than one paragraph is quoted, indent the first line of additional paragraphs by .5 inch. Include a reference citation after the closing punctuation. (Bowman, 2012, p. 1) Conclusion (and/or Recommendation) This manuscript style template is offered as a possible template for papers and discussion posts. A consistent and professional formatting of papers is expected, rather than adherence to every detail of APA or other manuscript format. A basic tutorial can be found at http://flash1r.apa.org/apastyle/basics/index.htm.

  • 10. Assignment 4: The Corporate Rundown (Note- please use the same company that was used in assignment #1) The following are specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment: in advanced financial management. management using proper writing mechanics. Introduction: ’s let Mr. Charlie Munger, co-chairman of Berkshire- Hathaway, say his piece on the power of financial incentives once more: “Never, ever think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” Of course, we agree, and we want you to learn how to evaluate financial incentives that you’ll discover in the corporate world. We also want you to be able to assess relatively strong and weak corporate governance systems. That’s the crux of this final assignment. e you to do is to identify a public company (preferably one that you’re familiar with from prior assignments). Then, we’d like you to examine and analyze its governance principles, structures, and practices. decision- maker will understand the power that governance and strong systems have over financial performance, and thus it’s important to train ourselves to be acutely aware of these issues. Here’s how we recommend approaching the assignment: o Head to edgar.sec.gov to access your company’s financial statements (or any site where
  • 11. you feel comfortable accessing your company’s financial statements, including the company’s own homepage). o Pull up the proxy statement (it’s also called the 14A, the DEF14A, and occasionally the PRE14A). o Read the statement in its entirety and reflect. Write a 3-4 page paper in which you do the following: 1. Determine whether the board seems appropriately constituted. Are these people qualified to be governing a business of this type? (Read their bios and even Google them for more info.) 2. Assess the committees the board members sit on. Are they appropriately staffed? 3. Assess the management. How long have they been with the company? What is their relative experience? 4. Evaluate the board’s philosophy on executive compensation. 5. Discuss the metrics tied to the CEO’s inventive compensation. Are they sound metrics or not? 6. Determine if compensation is reasonable considering the company’s financial performance. 7. Determine if related-party transactions (sometimes called “transactions with related parties”) exist, and if they do, whether they are reasonable. Your assignment should adhere to these guidelines: -organized, conventional business style. Use Times New Roman font size 12 or similar, double-space, and leave ample white space per page. must be cited appropriately.
