For the term-paper topic you have selected write a 1200-1500 word draft (5-7 double-spaced
pages) using the process and structure described below:
Outline: Before writing the paper create an outline for the paper based on the structure for the
term-paper described in the next four bullets. You must attach your outline at the end of your
paper. Carefully read the next four bullets before creating your outline.
Divide your paper into sections and subsections, each with an appropriate heading. Each
paragraph should only contain one idea, which is clearly stated at the beginning of the paragraph,
and then developed in the paragraph. The next three bullets describe how the sections are
organized.
Set-up of a theme for your paper (1-2 paragraphs): Develop a creative, thought- provoking
theme or hypothesis for your paper. This theme should be within the context of the (clearly
stated) key product/technology, and/or business/management, and/or commercialization issues
addressed in the speaker’s presentation.
Develop the theme (8-10 paragraphs). Develop your theme or hypothesis with suitable
arguments, supported by evidence and examples. Be sure that the technology issues (e.g., a
company’s technology and product line) and business issues (e.g., marketing and sales strategy)
that you discuss are clearly related to the specific context of the speaker’s presentation (e.g., how
distribution channels are used to market products, etc.). Provide several concrete examples (e.g.,
examples of successful research projects at Microsoft, Seagate’s markets and products, etc.).
End the theme (1-2 paragraphs): Re-examine your theme or hypothesis. Does it still stand; does
it need to be refined, or changed? What conclusions can you draw from this seminar presentation
relative to the development, management, and commercialization of technologies and products?
What are the technology, business, and management challenges and opportunities going forward?
Use the following sources of information in writing your term paper: your own class notes the
speaker presentations on the CSE170 class website: https://canvas.ucsc.edu/courses/30042
internet and library research on relevant companies and topics. Hand in the completed term-paper,
