I am looking for a minimum of two academic sources (the case study is not an academic source and also does not need to be referenced in your paper). The word count for this paper is between 1,500 – 1,750, however I will allow you to go a little over but no more than 2,000 words. Your Turnitin percentage must be under 20%. Please proof-read and run your paper through spell-check and follow the template and you should do very good on your paper**
