Prepare and submit a one or two paragraph (Due July 9) abstract of your topic as well as a short outline of your paper's proposed organization.  The abstract and outline should be submitted in WORD format.

Choose an event, situation, issue, or problem from business or society today and analyze the microeconomics aspects of the topic chosen using sound Managerial Economic theory. Provide a description of what you are writing about, but your paper is not the description, but the research and analysis.

The paper (Due July 17) should be 10 - 15 pages in length, double spaced, and follow generally accepted APA guidelines for college papers. It should contain a bibliography, and references should be properly noted.

You may reference economic texts, periodicals, speeches, or any other source as long as it is properly credited. Some suggestions are the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, business journals, any major paper or periodical, television or radio newscasts, other classes you have taken, etc. Remember that a reference can provide support even though it may not be considered economic. Original academic sources are always preferred to second or third-hand descriptions of the original work.
