Management Accounting and Finance Concepts for McDonald
the task is to prepare and hand in a Project Proposal that includes the nature of the project, the sources of information
you plan to use, the most important concepts and techniques to be applied, and incorporate responses to the five assigned tasks in the order of the given outline. You have taken on a project which you need to cut down in size - you simply do not have the resources
to analyze McDonalds so think how you can get a better grasp of the project assignment. No abstract - this is a professional report (needs an executive summary) and of course you need to put the project into a professional report layout
Start with the given outline of your research paper. Make this outline as close to final form as possible. Remember, changing the outline is a global revision issue that is generally more difficult than local revision issues. The outline is the foundation of the paper-the basic framework on which you hang your ideas. The annotations indicate the content level of each section and the substance of the paper's argument.
Keep to the given outline. It should look-roughly-like a table of contents with abstracts underneath each major heading. Add the Executive summary and index as for a professional report.
Keep the headings proportioned at the same level throughout the paper. Each heading should express the main idea of that section with perspicuity. The annotated outline is not the place for details.
Keep the annotations brief and directly stated, at a level of generalization that summarizes the entire section. Discuss the main idea-the major contribution-of each section, not the details.
The annotations should reveal an orderly movement of thought from introduction to conclusion. The reader should immediately recognize a relationship between the sections.
For each heading, use a topic sentence that directly expresses the main idea of the section. Your annotations must be directly related to this topic sentence-do not ramble about the details of the section, but rather elaborate on the section's main idea. The annotations should contain roughly three to six sentences under each heading-enough to give the reader a clear idea of each section's contents, and no more.
Remember-the annotated outline should help you conceptualize the larger paper and make timely progress toward the paper's completion.
