I’m working on a writing case study and need support to help me learn.
Paper Case Study:
Case studies provide an excellent opportunity for you to conduct more in-depth research and analysis on a relevant corporate intelligence topic or incident. Each student is required to write a 6 in pages research paper utilizing Turbain (Times new roman12 font size) format, not including cover/title page, list of references, or any appendices according to the guidelines below. The paper must be clear, concise, and logically organized, with correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure

The above questions are simply a guide for you to consider. As they are deliberately broad in scope, you should have enough flexibility to focus your paper on specific topics such that are of most interest to you. Following are guidelines, expectations and requirements for completing the case study:
