Planning
Start your first paragraph here. The introduction should contain five or six sentences.
Although the introduction does not contain all details, it should provide an overall outline of the subtopics you will cover in your paper. Readers should be able to read your introductory paragraph and have a good understanding of what to learn from your paper. The best way to use this template is to read through the entire document first. Delete each section as you fill it in with your own content. This template is formatted to meet APA's requirements of 12 pt font double space between the lines, so when you delete the sections one at a time, you will see that your work is formatted properly. Do not include these helpful outline instructions in the final paper submitted.
Four Functions of Management
In this section, you will compare the application of each of the four functions of management in terms of how it might be different 25 years ago, based on the evolution of management theory. Answer the question based on your reading and additional research. Next, you will include supporting details. Your own thoughts are encouraged but look to support your thoughts with credible research from textbooks or library. If you are using outside sources (research) to lend credibility to your details, this is where you should include them; most importantly, this is also where you use in-text citations to cite other people's ideas from your sources (Author's last name, year of publication, page numbers). Do not include these helpful outline instructions in the final paper submitted.
