Literature Review Assignment
Instructions (2 Part Assignment; Outline Due June 9th, Literature Review Due June 28th)
Literature
Review: Outline Assignment  (DUE JUNE 9th)
Overview
A critical skill
at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by
clearly articulated research questions
that address a specific issue or problem.
For this literature review, your research
will be guided by the following three Research
Questions:
1.     
How
do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
2.     
What
are the latest developments in the process of strategy development and
execution?
3.     
How
can my academic discipline, Information Systems (see note below), as a function within
the organization, influence the process of business strategy development and
execution?
The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question gives you
the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific
cognate in the
Doctoral Program.
Note: The third
research question deals with your Cognate (Information Systems) as a function
that is performed in a business. This is not exploring your degree program, the
courses you have taken, or higher education in any way. You will replace the
words ‘my academic discipline’ in Research Question 3 with your actual academic
discipline. Examples of academic disciplines include Finance,
Marketing, Accounting, Information Systems, International Business Management.
The purpose of
this research project is for you to create a scholarly piece of graduate level
research and writing which conforms to current APA format.
For this initial
assignment, you will be developing the outline for your literature review. Use
the Research Questions as provided in the instructions above. Your outline will
include a minimum of one level of indentation below each Research Question with
not less than two sub‐headings not
including the Summary. Following each
sub-heading you will provide a one to two sentence description of what you will
cover in that section of the literature review. Do not provide any narrative
beyond what is being requested and be sure to include citations for any factual
assertions you make in your descriptions. The sources documents for all
citations provided must be included in the Reference section. Your headings must be descriptive to allow a reader to understand
what is included each section and subsection. You can include more than two
subheadings for each Research Question and additional levels of indentation if
required for your discussion. In the final module you will be submitting your
completed literature review.
Use the format
below:
Introduction
Level 1 ‐ RQ1
Level
2 ‐ Sub heading 1
Level 2 – Sub heading 2
Summary
Level 1 – RQ2
Level 2 ‐ Sub heading 1
Level 2 – Sub heading 2

Literature
Review: Final Assignment (DUE JUNE 28th)
Overview
A critical skill
at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by
clearly articulated research questions
that address a specific issue or problem.
It is important that you include and address the research questions provided. Changing
the research question changes the focus of the study, and the resulting
document will not meet the requirements for the literature review. For this literature review,
your research will be guided by the following three research questions:
1.     
How
do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
2.     
What
are the latest developments in the process of strategy development and
execution?
3.     
How
can my academic discipline, Information Systems (see note below), as a function within
the organization, influence the process of business strategy development and
execution?
The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question gives you
the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific
cognate in the
Doctoral Program.
Note: The third
research question deals with your Cognate (Information Systems) as a function
that is performed in a business. This is not exploring your degree program, the
courses you have taken, or higher education in any way. You will replace the
words ‘my academic discipline’ in Research Question 3 with your actual academic
discipline from your program. Examples of academic disciplines include Finance,
Marketing, Accounting, Information Systems, International Business Management.
What are we looking for in this literature
review?
A literature
review discusses published information in a particular subject area and
sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time
period. This literature review will be more than just a simple summary of
information from various sources as it will include an organizational pattern
that combines both a summary and synthesis of information. Please keep in mind
that a summary is a re‐encapsulation of the important information found in the
source, while a synthesis is a re‐organization and combining of that information to present a more complete
picture. Finally, the literature review will evaluate the sources and
advise the reader of the most pertinent or relevant points.
How will this
literature review be evaluated?
Your work will be
evaluated in the areas listed below. Be sure to review the grading rubric to
ensure that you have addressed all areas that will be evaluated. If you are
uncertain or have questions reach out to your professor right away for
clarification.

Instructions and APA Style Guide
Important note
regarding required page count: Assignments must meet the minimum page
count indicated in the instructions. Documents that are short of the required page
count as well as documents that address a different subject matter than
assigned in the instructions by altering the research questions will have the
Content area scores reduced as described below.
For documents that
fail to meet the content word/page count called for in the instructions, the
professor will multiply the score in each Content area by the percentage actualy
provided. Example:
·        
The
instructions call for 10 pages of content and the student provides 5 pages of
content.
·        
Content
score for Academic Level of Information is determined to be 16 out of 20.
·        
That
Content score is multiplied by 0.5 for a final Content score of 8 out of 20 for
Academic Level of Information. This is done for each Content area in the
rubric.
·        
The
professor will provide an explanation in the Comments section of the rubric.
Are there differences between plagiarism,
paraphrasing, and quoting?
Paraphrasing is
when you take a source or someone else’s idea and say it in your own words or
even combine the ideas of several
authors as well as your own. When you paraphrase, you will still give the author credit through the use of an in‐text
citation connected to the idea as well as a reference at the
end of the paper.
A direct quote from a source has quotation marks
around the quote. If 40 words or more in
length, it must be set in block quotation format.
You can refer to the APA guide
for more information on this.
At the graduate level, you should be relying almost exclusively on the use of paraphrasing to
allow synthesis of the original author’s views with your own. A direct
quotation should only be used in this literature review (or most other
documents you will produce) when paraphrasing would change the author’s
intended meaning. In other words, you should only use a quotation when it is
the only way to convey what the author intended to convey.
Plagiarism on the
other hand exists when the writer simply copies the words directly from the
source without giving credit with an in‐text citation and a reference.
Plagiarism is not permitted and the paper will not be accepted for grading.

compare the financial statement of two companies. please select from the following list:
Walmart Amazon target tesco plc, carrefour group.

You will be required to watch the video linked in the pdf file and answer four questions. The second question requires you to analyze two countries that depend on the last name. In my case it is Canada, Brazil (I highlighted in yellow). The professor also noted to put the data you have collected in the appendix. The appendix is not part of the word count. The rest of the instructions are in the pdf file itself.

You must utilize the readings and/or theories in your examination. Two readings that all students must include is the article by Dirks and Mueller (see Canvas) and Chapter 4 of the Golash-Boza book. Your paper should reflect deep and thoughtful analysis and engagement with course readings. Incorporating ideas from class discussions, offering examples from course material, and quoting from readings are ways to strengthen your analysis.
Papers should be five pages in length, typed (double-spaced), with one-inch margins, and in Times New Roman Font size 12.You need to have in-text citations in ASA style and a list of references in the work cited page. No title page is necessary. See the ASA style guide for the citation and reference format

Questions: 
When writing your paper you should address at least four the following questions:
1. What messages about ethnicity, race, and class do the images imply? What is the story being told? What is the social significance of the portrayal of the people in the images? What does it teach us about racial and cultural norms and privilege? What does it teach us about how ethnic or racial identities are constructed in the U.S.?
2. Do the images challenge or reinforce stereotypical notions of particular ethnic or racial groups or people of a particular class? Are the images offensive? If so, explain why and consider the social consequences of such images. Do these images transgress or challenge stereotypes of the different groups represented? If so, explain your thinking. How might the images contribute to greater racial understanding? 
3. What is the social and cultural significance of these images/portrayals? How do these images contribute to racial stereotypes and assumptions? How are race and class constructed and interrelated in the depiction?
4. What is the most useful frame to use when analyzing these images? For example, are the portrayals examples of institutionalized racism, attitudinal racism, interpersonal racism, colorblindness, the social construction of race/class, etc?
5. What structural barriers (e.g. forms of institutionalized racism such as racist laws) has the group represented experienced? How can this history inform our understanding of these images? In your assessment are the images positive or negative? Explain. 
6. How do the messages reinforce or challenge understandings of whiteness as a cultural norm? Are notions of normative whiteness present? What are the implications of this portrayal of whiteness? How is the ‘Other’ represented and constructed? 
Suggested Structure for the Paper:
Introduction (recommended length up to ½-1 page)
Successful papers will:
1. Situate chosen portrayals and describe the context from which the portrayal came. For instance, students should describe the program from which a video clip is derived and the time frame in which it was shown. For example, if choosing an image from a magazine, describe the magazine, its intended audience, and the date the issue was published.  
2. Provide a clear and well-formed thesis.
3. Describe and summarize the chosen portrayals. Include descriptions of peoples’ dialogue, accents, dress, stances, behavior, and any relevant characteristics or interactions. Briefly describe the image and any action so that someone who has not viewed the portrayal understands the salient parts of the video or image.  
Body (recommended length 3-3.5 pages)
4. Examine the portrayals and explain the implied racial meanings of the image. It is important to provide evidence for your interpretation. Use sociological concepts and/or theories to strengthen your analysis.  
5. Draw on course readings and discussions. 
Conclusion (recommended length 1-2 paragraphs)    
6.    Briefly restate your thesis and the main points and evidence you have to support it

Class specifics summary:  Companies can best benefit their stakeholders
by fulfilling their economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary
responsibilities. Being profitable, or meeting its economic responsibility, is
a business’s most basic social responsibility. Legal responsibility consists of
following a society’s laws and regulations. Ethical responsibility means not
violating accepted principles of right and wrong when doing business.
Discretionary responsibilities are social responsibilities beyond basic
economic, legal, and ethical responsibilities.
