Summary:
Give a one paragraph, short and concise summary about the article
(e.g. talk about how the study investigated the top current trends in supply chain, and the top future trends…)
Key issues
bullets or single sentences
(E.g. summary the five current trends (as of the date of the article) and the top five future trends, note how they are changing in a fairly short time frame – 5 years, and maybe make a comment or two about what this means for supply chain management as they note in the article)
Why did we read this article?
(e.g. class time is valuable, and so is your time outside of school. Why was this particular article important to your current or future career? What insights did you can that will be useful to you. Use your words.)
This is a ONE page summary. Not 1.5 pages, or 1.15 pages, or 1 page and one more sentence on the next page. It will be HIGHLY useful in your professional career to learn how to summarize key articles into one page. Your superiors will read or glance over a one page summary MUCH more often than a longer one. And if you cannot summarize the key ideas and issues succinctly, you haven’t yet understood it.
