ou are to choose an article from a recognized news source on a topic related to Organizational Behavior. This should be either from an academic source or reputable business trade journal (e.g. Business Week, Wall St. Journal, Harvard Business Review, etc). Do not use websites such as Huffington Post since these are based on blog posts. The article should be relatively current—published between 2015-2022. Make sure that your article is of sufficient length so that you have enough information to work with for the assignment.
I do not need to approve the article but if you are concerned about whether it is appropriate, you can check with me. If you having trouble locating an article, please let me know and I will direct you to the appropriate library resources.
Develop a paper that addresses the following:
- Introduction – Write a brief introduction to your assignment, providing the title and date/source of your article and why you chose it
- Summary of Article – Provide a summary of the main points in the article
- Connection to Course Concepts – Discuss how points made in the article related to concepts in the course
- Conclusion – How you write this depends on the topic of your article – the following are examples of things you can comment on. What do you see happening to this issue moving forth? Do you agree/disagree with the author? How well was it written? How have things changed (if at all) about this issue since the article was written?
A typical length for the paper is about 4/5 pages (more is OK). You can create subheadings around the outline provided above. Please note that papers which provide mostly a summary of the article will lose significant points. The grading of the assignment will be based on the following: 60 points for relevance of article to the course/how well you tied specific points in the article to course concepts; 60 points for format/organization of the paper and balance of summary vs. analysis of article; 30 points for grammar, typos, and posting up copy of article or link under Discussion Board 3, totaling 150 points for the paper. This paper must be submitted by Friday 6pm on Week 7. You must also post an attached copy of the article or link to article on the Individual Discussion Posting 3 in Week 7.
