Guidelines: The paper will be graded on accuracy, creativity, content, and spelling/grammar.
• Be sure to include your approved domain name on the title page.
• This written report will be presented to the CEO of HBFA. Keep in mind that the CEO is not familiar with the technical jargon or specifics of e-commerce. This report should be written in a manner that will instill confidence in your recommendations.
• The paper should be well-structured and demonstrate your ability to analyze the issue as it relates to the course. The content should illustrate critical thinking skills. While there is no minimum word requirement, a one sentence answer to each question will not qualify as "critical thinking".
• The paper should be free from spelling errors and basic grammatical mistakes (including paragraph breaks).
• The paper should include a title page and a reference page. Use APA 6th edition style to format the reference page. Visit www.APAStyle.org for reference information.
• The paper should be double spaced.
