• Try to prevent references to other pages in the paper. If necessary, type 'see p. XXX' in the text and explain in a separate document to which part of the text you want to refer. Please be specific: mention page, paragraph and sentence.
• Use italics for non-English words, to emphasize text, and for all kinds of titles (books, plays, movies, and newspapers). Do not use italics to indicate quotes, for names of persons or organizations, or for geographical terms. Titles in italics are not put between quotation marks.
•  Use single quotation marks for quotes. Use double quotation marks only for quotes inside quotes. Quotes up to two sentences are integrated in the text. Quotes longer than two sentences are set apart in a separate paragraph with special formatting. Shift the left margin 1 centimetre to the left, and use Times Roman 12 point as font. Add white lines above and beneath the quote. Use italics for quotes.
•  When reporting quantitative results, please avoid excessive overlap between text and tables. There is no need to repeat in the text all of the numbers that appear in a table.
• Also avoid excessive overlap between the “results” section and the “discussion/ conclusion” section. The “results” section should contain what you found; and the “discussion” or “conclusion” section should contain your interpretation of what you found (not just repeat what is in the “results” section). If you would like to present results and discussion together, use a single section labelled “results & discussion.”

• Literature references as follows:
•  Lynch (2000) describes strategy as an organization’s sense of purpose. At least three different levels of strategy within all organizations can be identified (Hackbarth & Kettinger, 2000; Chaffey, 2002).
