I am beginning on my applied management project. The first step for me is to create the "proposal" for the project. I'm very confused regarding what all goes into the proposal. The instructor is requiring 10 annotated references and indicates the paper to be three to five pages in length. I know I have to list these references in an annotated bibliogrophy but do I need to include them wihthin the body of the writing of the proposal as well? I feel like by using all of these references in the body of the proposal I will be writing the research paper instead of the proposal. I'm wondering if I just state my problem and what I am proposing to fix without including references in the body of the paper. In the end, my question is: can you tell me what I should be including in the proposal and what I should do with the references (in the body of the paper, in an annotated bibliogrophy, in a reference list, a combination of these)? Thank you for your time. Below are the instructions for the assignment
