Each weekly assignment exercise should be accompanied by a title page and reference page formatted according to APA style.
Include side headings (also called sub-titles), according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center Subtitles improve readability and are important for the reader to see where your paper content aligns with the required content.

This final paper should be eighteen to twenty pages in length and should incorporate any comments or suggestions made by the instructor on the weekly assignment papers.

Your research, organization, planning, and critical thinking abilities will be critical in the development of your business report and execution of the Assignment requirements.
Strategists must master the art and science of decision-making. In this Assignment, you are given three options to choose from in order to analyze and develop your business report:
· Option 1: To complete this Assignment, you may choose to analyze one of the following case studies from your textbook: Case Study 3, Case Study 25, or Case Study 26. You can find a list of videos that may accompany your chosen case study in the supplemental resources spreadsheet.
