Research paper/Outline/Annotated Bibliography
Research Paper:
You will write a paper of 10 full pages (not including cover page, abstract, or references pages) formatted in current APA style and covering The Growth of Business Coverage in the Media.
An introductory and conclusion paragraph should be included in your paper.
Twenty-five academic, peer-reviewed articles are required to be utilized in your research paper. There should be a focus and flow that ties all of the research together. Research should come from journals such as: the Harvard Business Review, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Management Studies, etc. All articles should be no more than five years old.
Outline (2 pages):
The outline is to be detailed; that is, there should be three levels in the outline. The first level is the top: introduction, body, and conclusion. The second level should be the major sections of the paper, and the third level should be the major ideas within each section. The introduction and conclusion should be written out and the final references (no annotation) should be listed on the reference pages.
In your introduction, please make clear what the thesis statement of your paper will be. The thesis statement is that compelling idea or vital piece of information you are trying to communicate in this paper. The thesis should be the focal point of the introduction and the paper itself; it is usually located as either the first or last sentence of the introduction.
The conclusion should summarize the major points of the paper that support the thesis. A good conclusion is difficult without a good thesis.
