Management 605

MGMT 605-TERM PAPER Due: April 15,2021

chosen topic from the list below using one scholarly article that you find in the Library or another academic source, such as Google Scholar.

· Leadership and the role of organizational culture

· Styles of leadership within your organization

· Ethics and leadership

· Servant leadership

· Global leadership 

· Leading Change

· Leadership, technology and the organization

· Trends in leadership and how to adapt it in your organization

· Other ideas? Contact your instructor

FYI: A scholarly article is simple an article that comes from an academic source, such as a business or psychology journal. It's not the NYT, Washington Post, etc. 

Using the topic, write a 7-page essay in APA that answers the following questions:

· What the topic is about?

· Why this topic interests you?

· What are the major findings from the scholarly sources you found?

· How will you apply your research to your academic or career goals?

· A summary section that ties everything up at the end of the paper.

Generally speaking, here is how final research papers flow:

· Introduction

· Literature review

· Findings

· Recommendations

· Conclusion

Write an abstract between 100-250 words. The abstract is not an introduction. The abstract is a marketing piece for your paper. It provides a quick introduction, the important findings, recommendations and conclusion

Select 7 scholarly articles that will support your research paper and create an annotated bibliography. For our purposes, think of an annotated bibliography as nothing more than a brief description of what a given resource is about. 

Each of the seven entries should contain the following three elements:

1. The name of the resource/reference

2. A first person summary that explains what the resource/reference is about

3. A paragraph that states how the article supports your research paper.

No reference list is needed because you are providing references in the assignment.

For an example of an annotated source in APA format, see link below: 

Creating Annotated Bibliographies Based on APA Style

Make sure that you include the references from the annotated bibliography to the sections. It is expected that each section will be about half page to a page. This assignment needs to follow APA guidelines. Remember to put all your references and citations in appropriate APA format.

SUPER IMPORTANT

Do not copy and paste the description of the resource you are using from the web and pop it into your annotated bibliography. If you do this, it will be considered plagiarism and scored a zero. The idea is to write in first person and in your own words. Simply write out what the resource is about in first person.

FYI: An annotated bibliography is a tool that you create and call on in the world of research. It's a central document that houses descriptions of your research so that you can use it when writing a major paper or thesis.

Your paper should be written in first person. Do not use quotes and fill up your essay with a bunch of text from the study you are exploring. I will be grading you on your ability to tell me in a conversational way the answers to the above questions
