TITLE OF PAPER !3 Title of Paper The first part of the paper is called the “Introduction” section, yet it does not have a heading that actually says “Introduction.” Instead, the title of the paper is typed at the top of the first page (be sure to center the title, but do not put it in bold). In this section you would often start with a topic paragraph that introduces the problem under study. Introductions are designed to grab the attention of the reader, set up the topic you will be writing about, and state your thesis for the paper. The importance of the topic should be pretty clear from the first paragraph or two of the Introduction. Section 2.05 of the American Psychological Association (APA) manual (APA, 2010) will help give you some ideas about how to write this.

Try to provide the reader with enough information on the topic to be able to conclude that the...

Organizational structure uses leaders on one end, but at the other end are team-based (Nahavandi, 2012). Organizational structure has an effect on organizational action in two major ways; it lays the basis in which normal operating measures and schedules rest, and it decides which people can take part in which decision-making processes, and to what level do their visions form the organization’s actions. Managers have to realize that markets, supplies, investors, locations, partners, and competitors can be anyplace in the world (Reference for Business, n.d.).

...to reuse words multiple times throughout one’s work. Once you begin to learn new words from time to time, the words will flow out without any thought. Teachers also love to see a great use of vocabulary in essays and other works. Majority of teachers actually try to drill that into their students; use words with a deeper meaning. Use of vocabulary words in my work can possibly help me open my mind to other views as I write them. Vocabulary words that are used in class also helped me expand overall. Now when, I am talking or writing, the words come out as if I always knew them.There is now no thought process on a choice of words or a certain word I’m trying to say. I now have a variety to choose from when I can’t think of a word or pair of words for my work or just in communication overall. The next assignment that I have been working on lately that helped me was the research paper. I don’t mean the research paper overall though because that part comes easily. The parts I didn’t know how to do were the most helpful the first half of the semester. To start I learned how to write a thesis statement correctly. It took some time but Ms. Coleman helped me get through it. The next assignment was writing out source cards with the APA format. I always had trouble with the APA format and remembering how to do it. I feel like I’ve done them enough now to get a grip on them.
