Research Paper Instructions
Mechanics
Your paper must be at least eight (8) full pages (excluding cover page, table of
contents, references page, appendices, etc.) but no longer than 10 full pages. All papers
must be double-spaced and typed in 12-point Times New Roman font with one-inch
margins (on the top, bottom, and both sides), and no extra spaces between paragraphs. All
papers must also follow/utilize the APA format. Grammar and punctuation will count
toward your final paper grade so you are strongly encouraged to utilize The Writing Center.
Content
Students will prepare a paper examining an issue related to a topic of leadership we
have covered in this course. The paper will include three components: (1) an extensive
review of the literature on public leadership related to the selected topic; (2) any “lessons
learned” that can be drawn from the relevant literature; and (3) a concluding section with
a discussion of future challenges related to the selected topic. This paper should be
written in your voice and focus on your academic perspective regarding the related
literature. In other words, analyze the literature and use it to convey your perspective on
the topic selected.
Copying and pasting (or paraphrasing) large parts of the relevant literature verbatim
does nothing to convey your original thoughts on the topic you have selected (and may
constitute plagiarism, resulting in a grade of zero, if done without the use of quotation
marks and/or attribution for each idea belonging to the author of the literature). When
incorporating an author’s ideas into your paper, be sure to cite every time you do so. Cite
correctly (APA format) and cite as often as necessary to give proper attribution while
keeping in mind that this research paper is intended to be original, and reflect your thoughts
on the topic selected and the available literature related to that topic. This assignment will
be checked using SafeAssign.
Students are required to use scholarly sources and peer-reviewed articles/journals
for this literature review. Your paper should cite and utilize at least five (5) scholarly
sources (though you are highly encouraged to use more). Please note that online news
articles, Wikipedia, etc. are not scholarly sources. If you need assistance with searching
for scholarly sources, please contact a  reference librarian.

I am asking you to research and write another structured paper ( 4 pages min). This assignment I trust you will find enormous information about and I hope find interesting and concerning as well.
The travel industry is experiencing unprecedented declines economically. However,  It seems one travel industry business in particular — the cruise ship / passenger cruise ship industry seems to be dealing with the corona virus in ways where people may have little rights and furthermore maybe subject to international laws. There are many interesting facts I hope you will share in your research paper on how the cruise ship industry leads the nation in notifying governments of a pandemic event aboard a cruise ship in any part of the world.
Research how the cruise ship industry implements the — 5 phases of emergency management : mitigation, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. In considering how to focus on any one industry to request you write a paper on and how the business or industry has become intensely effected by the corona virus, I have chosen the passenger cruise ship business/industry to focus on. Many of you may not know that Brevard county Florida has the 2nd largest cruise ship port in the world. I want you to share information in your paper about events past, current and possibly events in the future regarding how cruise ships are working with a pandemic event aboard a confined passenger cruise ship. I think you will find that a cruise ship may be the first of any industries to encounter and confront a pandemic event. In your paper mention about the cruse ship that in Brevard county wanted to come to land but was told to stay in the sea due to passengers on board having the virus, research what you find most concerning and of interest to you about how the cruise passenger ship industry and how it has experienced first hand the difficulties of managing an on board pandemic/disaster event.

Strategy Management Final Assignment

/0 Comments/in /by
The Final Assessment is a 4500 words paper divided into two parts. It is strongly advised to start working on it early in the course.
The aim of the Final Assessment is for you to demonstrate your understanding of key concepts in strategic management and your capacity to craft a professional document. It will be very good preparation for your dissertation.
Part One (approx 3000 words)
1. Choose a concept/model in strategic management. You can choose the concept from the ones discussed in the course or you can choose another one. Examples of concepts are: core competencies, generic strategies, mergers and acquisitions, alliances, CSR, blue ocean strategy, etc. 
2. Critically examine the concept: define the concept; identify when it was first discussed and what the arguments were for its creation; discuss how the concept then evolved by identifying the arguments for and against it over time and by noting any adaptations.
3. Explain how the concept fits today with other concepts of strategic management, and discuss how/if the concept is relevant or not to today’s business challenges.
In Part One you must demonstrate you can research and develop a deep understanding of a concept by identifying, examining and challenging different views of it. You should reference a minimum of 10 academic sources: academic books and/or articles from academic journals that are peer-reviewed. This excludes textbooks, articles from business magazines and ‘popular’ books you may find in airport bookstores, but you can use these as additional supporting references if needed.
All sources should be correctly referenced using the Harvard system, as for any professional academic document.
Part Two (approx 1500 words)
4. Present a real life case study of the concept that you chose in Part One ‘in action’. You can use your own organisation or an organisation of your choice – we recommend you use an organisation you are personally familiar with as it will be easier for you to ‘see inside’ the organisation
Part Two should be like a mini-case study where you will present the situation of the organisation you choose, the issues faced, and how the concept was or is being used to solve the issues and raise the general performance of the organisation.
In Part Two, you must show you can integrate theory and practice. You do this by giving examples of the theory in action, and by evaluating the approach taken and how effective it was in delivering the desired results. By reflecting on events, you may even challenge the theory itself – From the events you describe, is the theory valid? How can it be improved?
Your report for the Final Assessment will be graded using the University’s grading criteria of: Knowledge and Clarity of Reasoning; Interface between Theory and Practice in the Professional Context; Use of literature; Organisation of Material.
Scripts that are excessively long (i.e. exceeding the 4500 word limit of the main report by more than 10%) will not be read beyond the point of the word limit; there is no minimum word limit. Do not put your name on the paper.
The overall structure should be as follows:
1. Cover Page (1 page)
2. Table of Contents/List of Exhibits (1 page)
3. Executive Summary
4. Main Report (within the 4,500 word limit as above)
5. Exhibits (if any)
6. List of references
Submissions should be machine readable and in MS-Word format only; submit only one file.
The university is committed to fight plagiarism and we use extensively anti-plagiarism software. Do not use external sources without referencing them. Do not cut and paste the work of others. Do not copy the work of others.
