Anatomy of an Article: Dissecting its main parts and argument made by the author(s)

Objective: To gain a deeper understanding of the construction and pattern of a scholarly article, and its application to International Management. You will take apart the article, and identify how their parts fit together, and how they form a chain of logic that builds an argument for their conclusion. The article must be on a topic relevant to International Management.

Process: Research the library database or google scholar for a scholarly article (i.e. published in a Journal), or from a news periodical. You will examine the article and develop a brief (1-3 line max.) but convincing summary to describe these elements of the article (save and present the table without these instructions; include a concept map of the logic chain made by the article on a single page as a file): Article citation is in APA style. Remember this is an Individual assignment. (Please, no cut and paste I am looking for your interpretation of the article).
