Assignment Instructions/ Description
Research Topic: The impact of mergers and acquisitions on company employees
It will be good to focus on the advantages and disadvantages of the mergers vs. acquisitions and perhaps consider large corporations vs. small businesses under 50 employees.
Prepare a detailed outline using prescribed headings with student-inserted subheadings. The paper should be 3-4 pages, double spaced, 12 pt. font. The required major headings are as follows.
I. Introduction [What is the topic, why it is important….to whom]
II. Review of existing literature [history, background, current company experiences]
III. Impact on business [in the past, now, going forward]
IV. Going forward [projected trends, pending legislation, likely regulation, political pressures]
V. Management options to address likely trends going forward; these could include actions to mitigate risks of the trends or actions to take advantage of the trends
VI. Conclusion
The main purpose of an outline is to require the student to identify the main points in their proposed research paper. It is not designed to present the findings but to help the student organize how they are going to approach their research. It is alright if your final research paper deviates some from the original draft.
