Article review

Due: March 7, 2019

Details:

Select a relevant topic pertaining to Operations Management or Supply Chain. Find a related article, preferably written in the past 2 years. Submit a 1-2-page, double-spaced write-up. Your write-up should provide a brief description of the articles but should also include you own insights as well. 

Used standard 1” margins, 12-point font, no citation formatting required—keep it simple. I recommend you break the write-up into sections (introduction, body, conclusion), or something similar. I will mark off for excessive grammar or spelling errors. 

Possible Points to Address:

· Why did you choose this topic?

· Why is this topic important? 

· How does it relate to our OSCM class? 

A

The principal characteristic of an "A" paper is its rich content. The writer sustains a thoughtful, analytic argument, looking at ideas from more than one point of view, asking difficult questions and following them up with analysis.     

B

The "B" paper is significantly more than competent. It delivers substantial information—substantial in both quality and interest. The paper might tackle a significant contradiction, problem, or moment of connection in the article and develop it in a sustained way. 

C

The "C" paper is competent: it meets the assignment, has few mechanical errors, and is reasonably well organized and developed.  C papers demonstrate your ability to work with the article and to create meaningful connections between the article and our OSCM course.
