2. Design the structure of your essay in accordance with the requirements. Try to break down the requirements into individual question. Each and every heading/sub-heading should be structured in line with the questions.

3. In almost all cases, there is limit in maximum number of words in the essay. Budget your number of words in each and every section. This assures you would not do over-writing.

4. Executive Summary should be written at the last stage. It is always easier to summarize what you have written than to elaborate in details from a simple sentence. The Executive Summary should echo what you have written in each and every paragraph as well.

7. Quote from scholars’ theories, reports written by consulting firms, figures from target business segment, and statistical data from marketing research organizations. Those are empowered quote to solidify your points and arguments. Do not quote too much context from there or you may fail in Turnitin (plagiarism) check.

8. Quote real-life examples in business worlds. Recent academic qualifications requires diversities from various industries. The more market relevant, the higher applicability of the learning outcome. The portion of examples should account for approximately one fourth of the essay.

9. Proof-read your writing prior to submission. No red/blue cursive underline does not mean your essay is grammatically perfect.
