Airways.\u00a0 Make sure to take notes and do not take the research lightly as the more research you do the more you will understand Silver Airways and the better the SWOT analysis will be.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> \u00a0Your report is based on the results of the research performed and not on any prepared documentation or website with SWOT information.\u00a0 What this means is that you will research and draw your own conclusions that are supported by the research and the course materials rather than the use any source material that puts together a SWOT, goals or objectives whether from the Internet, for-pay websites or any pre-prepared document, video or source material.\u00a0 A zero will be earned for not doing your own analysis<\/u>.<\/p>\n How to Set Up the Paper<\/strong><\/p>\n

Threats<\/strong><\/p>\n SWOT Analysis:\u00a0 Silver Airways<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n Goals and Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n This framework must have the following items.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n STRATEGIC GOAL 1<\/strong><\/p>\n Identification and explanation<\/u> of Strategic Goal 1 \u2013 Provided by the student<\/p>\n Strategic Objectives:\u00a0 Students will define and discuss<\/u> at least two objectives to drive the Strategic Goal<\/p>\n STRATEGIC GOAL 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Identification and explanation<\/u> of Strategic Goal 2 \u2013 Provided by the student<\/p>\n Strategic

References \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Review the Paper<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n Read the paper to ensure all required elements are present.<\/p>\n The following are specific requirements that you will follow.\u00a0 Use the checklist to mark off that you have followed each specific requirement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Checklist<\/strong><\/p>\n Specific Project Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n Proofread your paper<\/p>\n Read and use the grading rubric while completing the paper to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.\u00a0<\/p>\n Third person writing is required.\u00a0\u00a0Third person means that there are no words such as \u201cI, me, my, we, or us\u201d (first person writing), nor is there use of \u201cyou or your\u201d (second person writing).\u00a0\u00a0If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.quickanddirtytips.com\/education\/grammar\/first-second-and-third-person<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Paraphrase and do not use direct quotations.\u00a0 Paraphrase means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document.\u00a0 Removing quotation marks and citing is inappropriate.\u00a0 Instead put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document.\u00a0 There should be no passages with quotation marks.\u00a0 Using more than four consecutive words from a source document would require direct quotation marks.\u00a0 Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having quotation marks.\u00a0\u00a0 If more than four consecutive words are used from source documents, this material will not be included in the grade.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n You are expected to use the research and weekly course materials to develop the analysis and support the reasoning.\u00a0\u00a0 There should be a robust use of the course material.\u00a0 Material used from a source document must be cited and referenced.\u00a0 A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.\u00a0 Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having quotation marks.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains the reference associated with each in-text citation.<\/p>\n You may not use books in completing this problem set unless part of the course material.\u00a0 Also, do not use a dictionary, Wikipedia or Investopedia or similar sources.<\/p>\n Provide the page or paragraph number in every in-text citation presented.\u00a0 Since the eBook does not have page numbers, include the chapter title and topic heading.\u00a0 If using a video, provide the minutes and second of the cited material.<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong> \u00a0Submit the paper in the Assignment Folder<\/strong> (The assignment submitted to the Assignment Folder will be considered the\u00a0student’s final product and therefore ready for grading by the instructor.\u00a0 It is incumbent upon the student to verify the assignment is the correct submission.\u00a0 No exceptions will be considered by the instructor).<\/p>\n Self-Plagiarism:<\/strong> Self-plagiarism is the act of reusing significant, identical or nearly identical portions of one’s own work.\u00a0 You cannot re-use any portion of a paper or other graded work that was submitted to another class even if you are retaking this course.\u00a0\u00a0 You\u00a0also will not reuse any portion of previously submitted work in this class.\u00a0 A zero will be assigned to the assignment if self-plagiarized.\u00a0 Faculty do<\/u> not<\/u> have the discretion to accept self-plagiarized work.<\/p>\n NOTE:<\/strong> \u00a0All submitted work is to be your original work. You may not use any work from another student, the Internet or an online clearinghouse.\u00a0 You are expected to understand the Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Policy, and know that it is your responsibility to learn about instructor and general academic expectations with regard to proper citation of sources as specified in the APA\u00a0Publication Manual, 6th Ed. (Students are held accountable for in-text citations and an associated reference list only).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \n \u00a0 Purpose\u00a0 The purpose of this project is to introduce you to the planning process and to complete a SWOT analysis to determine a company\u2019s strengths, [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
