Maybe you can solve this by using \section{Introduction} instead of section*{Introduction} and controlling numeration depth globally with \setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}

If you want the Introduction to be section 1, then indeed, you should use \section{Introduction} rather than \section*{Introduction}. If you want it to be treated as section one, even when it isn't, then I suppose you could use \refstepcounter{section} right after \section*{Introduction}, but you need to roll it back with \addtocounter{section}{-1} right before the next section, unless you want it to be Section 2. But that solution might be confused to readers.
