What were the limitations of the research? NOTE: The article doesn’t need to be cited in the body of the annotated bibliography because it is referenced in the beginning of the review. For any other sources used (e.g. the text) you would cite as you normally do and list them in the reference section. [Analysis of the article: 1-2 paragraphs describing the following: Whether or not the points made by the author are logical and supported by evidence and whether the author demonstrates any bias in presenting the arguments. Were other arguments or possibilities considered? Are the author’s conclusions supported? Do they fit with your understanding of the topic and your textbook’s description (cite the textbook and any other sources you use for analyzing your article – include any additional sources you cite as part of your analysis in your reference list)?

Proposal 2

(Consulting Proposal 2). Each proposal must be 1000–1500 words and include at least the following 5 sections:1. Definition of project 2. Diagnosis of current situation 3. Recommendations 4. Implementation plan 5. SummaryA sample/template for the proposals is provided in the Assignment Instructions folder. Each proposal must include a title and reference page formatted according to current APA requirements. You must use a minimum of 4 scholarly peer-reviewed sources plus the text. Write the proposal as if you are addressing the CEO or organizational leadership as identified in the selected case study. The overall narrative in the proposal must include significant emphasis on diagnosing the problems in the business with recommendations for relevant change. These recommendations must be supported with specific examples or sources.  For example:• If the organization needs to change its recruitment strategy or perhaps offer new products, what specific types of change are involved?• Will the employees be affected? If so, what type of employees?• How should the recommended changes be implemented?• Are there drivers of the change that will determine the success of the change initiative? If so, what are they?Keep in mind that the proposal is an overview of the current situation, needed changes, and recommendations; therefore, it is important to refrain from providing too much detail. However, the proposal must contain enough information for the CEO to select a course of action. Because the person receiving your proposal is the CEO, there is no need to re-state information in the case study as he/she should already be aware of the current situation.You are encouraged to integrate information from any of the Reading & Study materials or your own experience. These prompts are provided to support your analysis and critical thinking as you read the cases and to give you some structure if you select one of these for your proposalTOPICS TO CHOICE FROMWellcome IsraelDonna Dubinsky  and Apple Computer IncEmilio Kornau

Economic and Community Recovery Solution:

         I know that I am not alone as a professor in stating this topic is one of my biggest frustrations as a professor!! This is becoming increasingly true as more & more students use the internet to obtain sources for their class papers. Not using appropriate references can also be a reason for losing points on an otherwise well written paper        Recently, I have received many papers with not only had some sources which were not scholarly, but had no sources which were scholarly! Frequently, this occurs when students do not take the proper time to plan for a paper. I was a pretty good procrastinator while I was in graduate school the first time. However, I always made sure that I had my resources well in advance. Then I was able to procrastinate writing the project and still write a good paper (though not as good as if I had not procrastinated at all). If you wait to the last minute, you will frequently not be able to find enough scholarly resources.        For most professors, a minimum of 8 sources from outside of class is typical for a scholarly paper. While this shouldn’t be difficult to obtain, even if you only have access to a educational library with minimal resources, you will need to allow for time to track these sources down. One good prefatory rule of thumb: If you are not sure if a source is scholarly,           The best place to find scholarly resources is through at college, university, medical library or other educational library. Most public libraries do not contain many scholarly references and those which are available are not as likely to be up-to-date. Academic libraries are designed to meet the needs of scholars making this is the best place to look. Generally, you’ll save time by driving a little further to a scholarly library instead of searching a public library with limited resources.        School library are increasingly providing many good, scholarly resources through the web. Generally, these are accessible through your home computer with a password. When you start at a new school, it is good to quickly become familiar with these resources. It will save you time and frustration.        In general, most scholarly resources are not available for free. If you find a free web resource, then you may want to do some double checking to make sure it’s scholarly. Your school generally pays a substantial amount of money for you, your professors, and other students to have access to these online resources. This is why they are password protected.          Rarely are magazine scholarly. If you can find the periodical at your local Barnes and Noble, it’s probably intended for a more lay audience. If you are unsure you may want to take into consideration the peer review and intended audience factor discussed below.        There are some interesting exceptions, though. Some professional organizations provide newsletters or magazine style publications which are scholarly. The most common example is the . Another is the magazine of the Association for Humanistic Psychology ( to see AHP on the web for an example). While these may be considered scholarly, you still want to use them sparingly. These are articles “in brief” and generally are not as in depth as a journal article. If you rely too much on these your professor will become suspicious that you may be trying to avoid doing the work of the paper. (Wilmington University Professors) 

A Problem Solving Proposal

 You will be assigned to work in a group of 1-2 or 2-3 classmates. Then, you will begin to investigate possible timely information technology policy and strategy interests, situations, or needs to suggest to the group   look for areas that need improvement and can be solved with outstanding leadership and innovation.   Only then, begin to discuss possible solutions to the problem. Discuss the extent, origins, and possible causes of the problem, consider alternative solutions, and select the solution that seems most practical and that meets these criteria: If the group cannot achieve consensus on a solution, go back and select another problem.Assign someone to take or record this discussion; it will grow into the proposal’s “Background” and “Statement of Need” sections. The “Questions for Problem-Solving Proposals” suggest what information will be needed. You may need to cover other areas not listed. To gather data, you will probably use some or all of the following:   Then the group needs to find the reason. If the reason is convincing, assign him/her another, equal task. If all else fails, see the instructor. If the instructor intervention fails, the student will probably not complete the course.  Contact the instructor immediately. Adjustment will be made. 7.  After each group member has had time to read all members’ work and make written comments on the content, verify that all needed questions have been answered so that everyone understands what everyone else has written.  As a group, begin to arrange the material in the order suitable for a proposal. Decide what illustrations are needed and who will be responsible for each. Meet for the first and second revisions of sections of the body. Provide copies of revisions for each group member.   Assign individuals to prepare the paper’s abstract, table of contents, and table of illustrations, title page, any needed appendix (es) and reference list.     The following elements should be demonstrated in this assignment:  Definition of a Problem: A situation, issue, policy, or practice this is difficult and perplexing but can be improved or solved. What is a current situation, policy, practice that you see as a problem? How do you know the current situation, practice, or policy is not beneficial ? Can it be improved, changed, eliminated? How do you know?  Who/what does the problem hurt? In what way? When? For how long? With what results?   When did the problem start?  What are some of the causes of the problem?  Has anyone before tried to solve this problem here or elsewhere? When? How? With what effect?  What is your proposed solution?Why did you choose it over alternative solutions?If your solution is accepted, what benefits will be gained. By whom? How soon?   What steps need to be taken to start putting your proposed solution into effect? What people need to be involved in planning the implementation of the solution? What steps need to be taken to implement your solution? What materials/equipment will be needed to accomplish each step? What facilities (space, utilities) will be needed at each step? How will they be used? For how long? What people will need to be involved at each step of the implementation? What will they need to know and do? For how long?  How much will it cost for the people needed? How do you arrive at the total? How much will it cost for the materials/equipment?

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.Now that you have written about the topic that you selected in Unit 1, it is time to explore what others have said about that same topic. To begin the process, use the AIU library databases and online search tools to locate at least 6 sources that are related to your topic.The best way to begin this search is by first reading encyclopedia articles on the topic, especially the encyclopedias in the AIU library. Encyclopedia articles provide a summary of current information and, most important, a list of books and articles about the topic. You can often find titles of useful works at the end of encyclopedia articles.Remember, encyclopedias and other reference books (online or print) can be consulted, but their information cannot be cited in your paper. This means that material from reference works cannot be quoted or summarized in your paper. Reference works help you begin your exploration of a topic; however, reference works do not contain original material and therefore cannot be cited in your paper.After consulting reference works, locate at least 6 credible sources related to your topic. These published works will inform you of arguments that are related to your topic. They can also provide evidence (facts, statistics, quotations, and examples) to support your own thesis and main points in the research paper that you will write later in the course.There are two types of citations in APA style: in-text citations and reference citations. An in-text citation is an abbreviation. A reference citation lists all relevant information about a source. The following is a paragraph from a research paper on preventing juvenile delinquency that illustrates the difference between in-text and reference citations:The author and date in parentheses (Friedman, 2014) is an in-text citation. It appears in the sentence where the source was used and is an abbreviated form of the reference citation. All of the information in the paragraph was the student writer’s except what was in the sentence that included an in-text citation.After the paragraph, you can see the full reference citation of the source. The reference citation provides all of the information that someone would need to find this source.Complete the following for your assignment:Each of the six entries should look like this:
