Applied Research Project — Brief Review of the Literature View an introduction and summary of this Assignment. Congratulations! You are now halfway through the course. Your next step is exciting. This week you will add 3

to 4 more pages to your applied research project. In this component, you expose information and insights from

key authors that you discover in the body of management literature. It is essential that you seek these insights

from peer-reviewed journal articles from the Library. Your review of the literature section is a great opportunity

to perform by reconnecting to specific authors of management theory. Think of them as authors who bring

added value to your own investigation of the problem. Restating what these authors said is one thing, but it is

even more important for you to assess the impact of theoretical insights to the practice of management as

advanced by your investigation of a real-world organizational problem. Please remember to properly

paraphrase and to cite the source of the information. Again, follow the guidelines in the grading rubric. It is

important to remember that this is a growing document, and as you move your applied research project

forward unit by unit, more research components will be added.

The construction and development of your applied research project in GM599 is ongoing. It began in Unit 1

and will continue to expand and improve through Unit 6. Moving forward in each unit, you will be adding new

sub-heading sections to expand the research process. At the same time, you will be responding to comments

and critiques from your professor in order to make improvements to past sections.

Step 1: Prepare by studying the Reading assigned to this unit. Practice specific research concepts by

engaging in unit discussions.

Step 2: Design your applied research project in the following manner. Title Page: Develop a unique title for the paper that captures the essence of the problem that is under investigation. Sub-Heading Sections
