As you read the assignment
this week, you will find some concepts more interesting
and
applicable to your personal or work situation than others. Review the key terms
listed in the
assigned
chapters; then, choose a key term that you wish to write on for your thread.
Include
the exact key term you selected in your thread’s subject line.
Thread
(600 words minimum)
After
you have successfully chosen the key term that interests you the most, research
a minimum
of
5 recent international business/management articles that relate to the concept
on which you
wish
to focus your research. Articles must be found in reputable professional and/or
scholarly
journals
and/or business/trade journals that deal with the content of the course (i.e.,
not blogs,
Wikipedia,
newspapers, etc.). After reading the articles, select the 1 article that you
wish to
discuss.
Paper
must adhere precisely to the following headings and format: Utilize
the Key Term (Globalization).
1. Key
Term and Why You Are Interested in It (100 words minimum)
After
reading the textbook, specifically state why you are interested in conducting
further
research
on this key term (e.g., academic curiosity, application to a current issue
related
to
employment, or any other professional rationale). Include a substantive reason,
not
simply
a phrase.
2. Explanation
of the Key Term (100 words minimum)
Provide
a clear and concise overview of the essentials relevant to understanding this
key
term.
3. Major
Article Summary (200 words minimum)
Using
your own words, provide a clear and concise summary of the article, including
the
major
points and conclusions.
4. Discussion
Discuss
each of the following points:
a. How
the cited work relates to your above explanation AND how it relates
specifically
to the content of the assigned module. This part of your thread
provides
evidence that you have extended your understanding of this key term
beyond
the textbook readings. (100
words minimum)
b. How
the cited work relates to the other 4 works you researched. This part of your
thread
provides evidence that you have refined your research key term to a
coherent
and specialized aspect of the key term, rather than a random selection of
works
on the key term. The idea here is to prove that you have focused your
research
and that all works cited are related in some manner to each other rather
than
simply a collection of the first 5 results from your Internet search. (100
words
minimum)
5. References
A
minimum of 3 recent articles (as described above), in current APA format, must
be
included
and must contain persistent links so others may have instant access. In the
event
that
formatting is lost or corrupted when submitting the thread, attach the
Microsoft Word
document
to your thread as evidence that your work was completed in the proper format.
