However, for this assignment, simply include a “summation” under each outline heading that notes the items you have addressed or will address to date in your final paper. Remember: This is only a draft outline of the final paper. Therefore, it is important to simply note under each heading in written form the key concepts, ideas, theories, and points you intend to apply in your final paper. Although you should absolutely reflect on material from earlier papers, do not simply “cut and paste” sections from earlier work. This is an ideal point to begin your original organizational behavior analysis. Support your outline with a minimum of 4 to 6 appropriate, scholarly references (from your textbook and other scholarly sources; e.g. library, journal databases and journal readings, and enrichment articles in this course). These should be noted in the paper as citations where they apply to your work. Remember that 10 scholarly references are required for your final paper. (Note: Web sites are not scholarly references.)
