MAN4720 008 Applied Concept Paper Linking Chapters 10 and/or Chapters 11 of Wheelen & Hunger (2015) Strategic Management & Business Policy, 14th Edition
Question Description
Select a business news article or articles and show how between six and eight
implementation staffing and evaluation, control concepts in chapters ten and eleven are reflected in
real business world happenings.
You must adequately link between six and eight concepts from your
assigned chapters to demonstrate your comprehension and critical thinking ability and may use
concepts from either or both of your assigned chapters The key terms section at the end of each
chapter may be helpful in making your selection.
If multiple articles is your choice,
please be sure to include an abstract for, and copies of, each article.
A sample paper is included as course information handout 6.1 and the sample grading sheet is posted
as number 6.2 is also posted to provide additional guidance. Be sure to include the following:
A cover page with your name and Z number, course name and section number, assigned unit, due
date and instructor’s name. Remember to number the pages and include the title of the chapters
addressed in your paper. A second copy and your major are not required for this assignment.
A photocopy or printout of the published article(s) on which your work is based, which should be
relatively recent, as a general guideline, published within the past two years.
Attribution of all authors cited, APA or MLA formatted, on a sources cited appendix.
Although I suggest that your paper be between five and half and eight pages in length, I tend to be fairly
flexible as long as you avoid both padding and being so excessively brief that it becomes difficult to
read or understand. Be sure that the content is relevant. Use a 12-point font, allowing approximately
1½-line spaces. Structure your paper using titles to divide ideas and distinguish concepts from
one another. Provide an abstract of one or two paragraphs summarizing the article(s) briefly in your
own words. At most, 20% of the paper should be devoted to defining the textbook and course
document concepts that you intend to link to the article. The remainder, representing at least half,
should be dedicated to an analysis showing how your article may be used to interpret the selected
concepts. A one-paragraph conclusion should briefly explain what you learned from the exercise.
Finally, APA or MLA formatted, source notes are essential. Your paper should be structured using the
following segments. Note that Wikipedia, Investopedia and other open source sites may not be used.
