Sources of Data for your focal firm and its industry
The purpose of this first AFI paper is for you to provide, for yourself, a baseline contextual understanding of the firm and industry that you are going to analyze for the AFI series of papers.
Because feedback on parts 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 of your paper is so important I require that you submit your papers in the .DOCX format (e.g., Microsoft Word). While Canvas Turnitin will accept PDF files, it will not allow me to give you comments in the body of your text. In a similar manner if you are using the Pages word processing program on a Macintosh Canvas Turnitin will not be able to immediately process your paper and I will have great difficulty in opening it (you can readily save a Macintosh Pages word processing document as a .DOCX document). If you fail to save and submit in the proper format this will result in:
1) a 20% penalty;
2) a delay in grading; and
3) no feedback other than a simple number score.APPENDIX A
Choose one firm from this list for your series of AFI Papers. I would strongly recommend that you review what the different parts of this paper involve before choosing a firm and committing yourself to that firm for the term of the class. If you would like to use a firm that is not on this list, please feel free to do so. Many students pick their employer (e.g. Starbucks) or company they hope to work for when they graduate. That works and would be preferred to help keep the concepts in your mind as you read through their material.
