Prepare an essay that demonstrates research and analysis of scholarly articles. The essay should be clear and demonstrate an understanding of the critical key issues and relate this to the relevant theories, research and related material. Your textbook should serve as an initial starting point for commencement of your work.
Choose one (1) question from the list below. Your essay needs to have at least 10-12 references in it. Use the prescribed textbook and 1-3 other current relevant textbooks. At least five (5) of your references should be recent, relevant, peer refereed journal articles sourced from credible databases (namely Google Scholar, Ebsco Host (Business Source Premier) or Emerald). Avoid general internet sites.
Annotated Bibliography Task
There are two (2) parts to undertaking and completing this assessment task. Firstly as a hurdle requirement you need to submit an annotated bibliography which basically summarises contrasting perspectives or approaches from the scholarly research (Due week 4). This could include contrasting perspectives on the particular essay topic. You must paraphrase two (2) recent peer reviewed or scholarly articles. More specifically you need to address the following:
· Paraphrase the author(s) key theories, research approach and findings
· Discuss and critique the underpinning theories, arguments and point out potential strengths and limitations to the author(s) perspective
· Contrast the respective author(s)views and or research methodology highlighted in the respective journal articles
Having completed the annotated bibliography task, and received feedback, you will then complete your essay by undertaking more extensive research on the chosen essay topic (refer list below).The two articles and annotated bibliography information can be integrated into the essay.
