First you will find at least four journal articles on your chosen topic and write an annotated bibliography summarizing each article. Finally you will then synthesize your findings in a paper of what you found, the pros and cons found in the research, and your recommendation to the manager or CEO concerning this issue in their organization.
For example, you could select several articles on workplace violence and write an annotated bibliography of each summarizing their main points in non-research language, including agreements and disagreements on particular findings. Next the summary paper should explain why this particular topic is important to the workplace and how the organization¿s leaders and employees can use the information. Additionally you will make suggestions for this organization based on your research findings. The paper should be presented in a professional way, nicely formatted, free of spelling and grammatical errors, and presented in a clear and structured way.
A brief (no more than 1 page) summary of each article. The summary should include:
The basic premise and research question of the study
The methodology
Results
Conclusions
Annotations may consist of all or part of the following list of items, depending on the purpose of the bibliography:
