KEY TERM GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKETS
After you have successfully chosen the key term that
interests you the most, research a minimum of 5 recent international
business/management articles that relate to the concept on which you wish to
focus your research. Articles must be found in reputable professional and/or
scholarly journals and/or business/trade journals that deal with the content of
the course (i.e., not
blogs, Wikipedia, newspapers, etc.). After reading the articles, select the 1
article that you wish to discuss.
Your thread must be placed in the Discussion textbox
and adhere precisely to the following headings and format:
1.
Key
Term and Why You Are Interested in It (100 words minimum)
After reading the textbook, specifically state why you are interested in
conducting further research on this key term (e.g., academic curiosity,
application to a current issue related to employment, or any other professional
rationale). Include a substantive reason, not simply a phrase.
2.
Explanation
of the Key Term (100 words minimum)
Provide a clear and concise overview of the essentials relevant to
understanding this key term.
3.
Major
Article Summary (200 words minimum)
Using your own words, provide a clear and concise summary of the article,
including the major points and conclusions.
4.
Discussion
In your own words, discuss each of the following points:
a.
How the cited work relates to your above explanation
AND how it relates specifically to the content of the assigned module. This
part of your thread provides evidence that you have extended your understanding
of this key term beyond the textbook readings. (100 words minimum)
b. How the
cited work relates to the other 4 works you researched. This part of your
thread provides evidence that you have refined your research key term to a
coherent and specialized aspect of the key term, rather than a random selection
of works on the key term. The idea here is to prove that you have focused your
research and that all works cited are related in some manner to each other
rather than simply a collection of the first 5 results from your Internet
search. (100 words minimum)
5.
References
A minimum of 3 recent articles (as described above), in current APA
format, must be included and must contain persistent links so others may have
instant access. In the event that formatting is lost or corrupted when
submitting the thread, attach the Microsoft Word document to your thread as
evidence that your work was completed in the proper format. Please see the
appropriate instruction link in the Discussion Assignment Resources for more
information on creating persistent links.
