JOURNAL ARTICLE ANALYSES: INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENTS

There will be eight journal article analyses. Each student will select one of the key terms and conduct a search of online Library resources to find one recent peer-reviewed article (within the past 3 years) that closely relates to the key term you select. These assignments will be due at 11:59 p.m. EST on the first Sunday during the Module in which they are assigned.

NOTE: Use only the article you select as the sole source for these assignments. Do not add any additional source material.

Your submission must include the following information in the following format:

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term – (the definition should come from the article)

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200-word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research, or findings regarding the key term.

DISCUSSION: Using 300-350 words, analyze the article as it relates to the selected key term. This is the most important part of the assignment. Analyzing articles is an opportunity to delve into organizations to determine best practices. As pertains to Business Ethics, it is an opportunity to discover whether organizations engage in ethical business practices. Corporate Social Responsibility is a way to learn whether organizations take responsibility for their roles in business and are held accountable for their actions…whether good or bad. Organizations in and of themselves are just things. However, when you add people to them, they then become what are known as living and learning organizations – aka knowledge organizations.

REFERENCE: The source for the analysis must be listed at the bottom of the submission – APA format required. Use only peer-reviewed journal articles for these assignments. Refrain from using texts, blogs, .com’s, or other unreliable internet sources.

A title page is required for these assignments. Use the APA Style 7 ed. student version guidelines (APA Style (7th ed.) Guidelines) to format the title page.

Be sure to use the headers (Definition, Summary, Discussion, Reference) in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the assignment are completed as required. Any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire assignment. Further, any flagged documents will result in zero points for the assignment. Flagged documents mean that an attempt at plagiarism exists, or manipulation of the Turnitin process has been attempted. This is unacceptable conduct and will not be tolerated.

A sample of the format for this assignment can be found in Moodle in the Course Resources section at the top of the Course room. Do not deviate from this format. NOTE: I AM ATTACHING THIS SAMPLE FOR YOU BELOW.

When analyzing articles think about the following:
1. What key term was chosen by the author?
2. What is the significance of this key term?
3. What are the theoretical underpinnings for why this key term was chosen?
4. What key finding did the author of the article discuss regarding the key term as it applies to organizations in regard to business ethics?
5. What conclusion can you infer from the article?

NOTE: All criteria (Definition, Summary, Discussion, Reference) for these assignments should be derived from the article that you select based on the key term. No other resource is required.
