• Introduction: Get the readers’ attention, let them know why the paper will be worth reading. Identify your purpose/argument/thesis and explain why is it important, provide any necessary context/background, and provide a brief overview of what you will do in the paper.
• Explanation and Analysis: Explain how all three organizations are interdependent/interrelated and analyze the importance of these interrelationships – for example how do they impact each others’ operations, finances, activities and what are the implications for the leaders and managers of these organizations if they want to successfully advance their respective missions. You MUST apply concepts and frameworks from the readings to organize and explain what you learned about the interrelationships between the organizations. For example, you may want to use the framework presented by Heckman (2012) to help identify and categorize examples of interdependence between the three organizations you researched.
