My research topic is on( Ernst & Young )
Prepare an 8-10 pages paper on the firm of your choice that is operating in the international business environment. The 8 –
10 pages requirement does not include appendices, title page, table of contents, abstract, references, and bibliography. The
minimum is 8 full pages of written material. Any paper not at 8 full pages will earn a maximum percentage of 60%.
This paper should be prepared consistent with the current APA Manual and will have a minimum of ten different
references (No Wiki’s or Pedia’s). Some of the bibliography and references will most likely come from the source
documents, e.g., annual reports, and financial statements of the firm you have chosen. As such this reduces the need for
peer reviewed sources. However, peer reviewed sources are still important and should be listed in the
bibliography/reference section(s) and cited in the paper as appropriate. The paper must be in Times New Roman 12pt
font. Graphs and charts that take up more than ¼ of a page should not be in the body of the paper and put as an appendix
and referenced in the body of the paper. This paper is due the last day of Week 5.
