Guidelines for Business Week Assignments

1. Using your own words, analyze a Business Week article (2018 or newer). Your answer should include all of the elements highlighted below:

A. Provide a summary analysis of the critical issues highlight in the article (preferably not more than half-page summary).

B. Answer the specific questions associated with EACH UNIT.

2. Page total: 2 pages

• Format of the report content: make sure you have (1) a general title for your report (other than the name of the news article), (2) an introduction paragraph, (3) subtitles for each topic you discuss, and (4) a conclusion segment that sum ups the discussion.

3. Formatting – Times New Romans/11 or 12 points (double-spaced)

4. Please keep the following in mind:

1. Make sure to include concepts from the readings in the textbook

2. Use own words and sentences

3. Absolutely no copying and pasting from other sources.

4. This is NOT a group project! Everyone MUST work individually since we are working on the same article!  NO collaborative work!

5. You will be evaluated for (1) writing skill-mechanics (20%), (2) content of your report

—how well course materials are incorporated into the discussion of an external article

(60%), and (3) how well you followed the formatting guidelines—page limitations, fonts,

report title, subtitles, etc. (20%)

6. Here is the sample outline to follow:

1. Introduction (1 paragraph)

2. Article Summary (key highlights and challenges) (half-page)

3. Specifically answering Unit’s questions in detail

4. Conclusion
