RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
You will write a Research Paper on a topic relating to business ethics. Your paper must be 8–10
pages and double spaced (excluding a properly formatted title page, bibliography page, and
reference page). You must have 8–10 scholarly references cited in current APA format. You must
use your textbooks as sources; other acceptable sources are journal articles from peer-reviewed
journals, theoretical texts, and the Bible. As this is a Research Paper, it must be written in third
person.
You will choose a topic and write a rationale for that topic. Final approval must be received from
your instructor.
You will also create an Annotated Bibliography. The Annotated Bibliography must be in current
APA format, and a 100-word description (of the reference itself and its contribution to the paper)
must be included. The Annotated Bibliography due in Module/Week 3 will not be part of the
final Research Paper due in Module/Week 8. The final Research Paper will have only the
regular references section.
