Paper includes references from experts from the field of strategic management to explain your validation of key statements. Please use peer-reviewed or credible and reliable references. No dictionary, encyclopedia, and Wikipedia references should be used. Company websites or internal information is fine for informational purposes, but it will not count as one of the three references as internal reference material is biased and should only be used for base or comparison information. Also, make sure all reference material includes an author and a date. To earn a grade higher than a C, at least two references should be used.
