Here is the link to this article.



Answer the following eight questions separately.



  1. In your own words*, identify and discuss the main argument (also known as a thesis or line of reasoning) presented in this article (200 words +/- 10% = 2 marks).

  2. In your own words, identify and discuss the assumptions and limitations that readers of this article need to be aware of when they read it (200 words+/- 10% = 2 marks).

  3. In your own words, identify and discuss the research methodology and research methods the authors uses to examine the main issue(s) in this article (150 words+/- 10% = 2 marks).

  4. In your own words, identify and discuss the main findings and/or conclusions of this article (150 words+/- 10% = 2 marks).

  5. In your own words, identify and discuss the main ideas in this article relevant to the themes and/or concepts taught in MGT100 (250 words+/- 10% = 3 marks).

  6. In your own words, discuss (a) the practical applications of the ideas in this article for real life managers, (b) how these ideas could be used to analyse real management dilemmas or problems, and (c) provide recommendations to managers for action (450 words +/- 10% = 6 marks).

  7. Find two peer reviewed journal articles that may be relevant to further examine the theory discussed in this article. Present these articles using APA6th referencing style and briefly explain why you believe these are relevant articles (up to 150 words +10% = 2 marks).

  8. Provide two sentences and appropriate citations. In the first sentence, provide one indirect (paraphrased) quote from one of the peer reviewed journal article shown in Q7 (directly above). In the second sentence, provide one direct quote from the other peer reviewed journal article shown in Q7 (directly above) (up to 100 words +10% @ 0.5 mark each = 1 mark).


Remember to include a reference list that starts on anewpage.



*Writing about an idea in your own words is mainly paraphrasing.To paraphrase is to provide a detailed restatement of an idea. Paraphrasing indicates you understand an idea put by another author so well you can paraphrase it into your own words. Paraphrasing is a legitimate way to borrow an idea so long as you cite and reference the source from which you borrowed it (seeowl.english.purdue.edu/owl/owlprint/619/).






Rationale

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to learn to:



  • research and compare various sources of information about management (LO1)

  • compare and contrast the work of influential management thinkers and researchers (LO2)

  • express opinions on management issues with clarity, from both personal and more objective positions that are backed up with sound evidence and analysis (LO4)

  • apply management theory in order to analyse management dilemmas and problems, and provide recommendations for action (LO5)

  • present academic writing (academic literacy and numeracy)

  • use APA6th citation and referencing (academic literacy and numeracy).
