using the problem-solving paradigm in your introduction and identify what theories you will be using in your introduction. Conduct your analysis and offer any resolution/recommendations to the problem you are discussing. This can be a problem/situation you experienced in the workplace or one you have heard or read about. It tends to work best if it is a problem you have some familiarity with instead of something you make up.

NOTE: In your introduction, you must introduce the economic theories you will be applying as well as identify your three components of the problem-solving paradigm as they are related to your topic (do not just list the three questions). You will expand on these in the remainder of the paper and provide your input on how your problem was solved--what would you have done differently, if anything? You are expected to apply the theories you choose correctly. Application means you use the theory and explain how the theory applies to your situation--it is not merely stating the theory. Failure to follow these instructions can result in a significantly lower grade
