You must choose10articles for yourannotatedbibliography.This can be on any topic, but preferably in an area that you are interested in researching for your Applied Project. The research question is about a research area but it must answer a question. It is not sufficient to say my research area is “The New Zealand Wine industry”. Turn that into question and you have “How has the New Zealand wine industry been advantaged by the degree of FDI in the industry”. Or alternatively “how has the NZ wine industry been disadvantaged by the degree of FDI in the industry?”
