INTRODUCTION
In a few words, identify and address a problem and a proposed solution. You can focus on
common dilemmas, new trends, changing techniques, industry comparisons, new entries to
market, etc. How do you propose on solving this issue and what are your recommendations? The
solution is based on a thorough examination of the problem and potential solutions.
Make sure you that you have your audience in mind when you write your white paper. Who is
your audience and what are you trying to convey? Are they industry experts or is this an
investment pitch to a business audience? This should help you set the tone and the correct
verbiage for your paper.
