Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources Source type What is it? Examples Best used for Scholarly A source written by scholars or academics in a field. The purpose of many scholarly sources is to report on original research or experimentation in order to make such information available to the rest of the scholarly community. The audience for scholarly sources is other scholars or experts in a field. Scholarly sources include references and usually use language that is technical or at a high reading level. *Note: Different databases may define “scholarly” in slightly different ways, and thus a source that is considered “scholarly” in one database may not be considered “scholarly” in another database. The final decision about the appropriateness of a given source for a particular assignment is left to the instructor. Scholarly Journals • Journal of Management Information Systems • American Journal of Public Health • Early Childhood Research Quarterly Scholarly Books (published by a university press or other high-quality publisher) • Shari’a Politics: Islamic Law and Society in the Modern World • The Grand Design: Strategy and the U.S. Civil War • The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise: Molecules That Move Us Journal articles: • Recent research on a topic • Very specific topics or narrow fields of research • NOT good for an introduction to or broad overview of a topic Books: • In-depth information and research on a topic • Putting a topic into context • Historical information on a topic Peer Reviewed A publication that has gone through an official editorial process that involves review and approval by the author’s peers (experts in the same subject area). Many (but not all) scholarly publications are peer reviewed. *Note: even though a journal is peer reviewed, some types of articles within that journal may not be peer reviewed. These might include editorials or book reviews. **Note: some publications (such as some trade journals) can be peer reviewed but not scholarly. This is not common. See “Scholarly Journals” above Books go through a different editorial process and are not usually considered to be “peer reviewed”. However, they can still be excellent scholarly sources. See above Credible A source that can be trusted to contain accurate information that is backed up by evidence or can be verified in other trusted sources. Many types of sources can fall into this category. *Note: The final decision about the appropriateness of a given source for a particular assignment is left to the instructor. See above. Also: • Newspapers • Magazines • Books • Trade journals or publications • Government websites • Websites from educational institutions (like universities) • Websites or other publications from reputable organizations (like the Mayo Clinic) • Encyclopedias (general or subject) Many websites.

Following the Topic Selection Guidelines below, choose an argumentat.docx
Following the Topic Selection Guidelines below, choose an argumentative topic to research. This will be your topic throughout the entire course, so the activities required for this assignment will provide the foundation for your future Touchstones. The topic for an argumentative research paper must be a debatable topic, meaning that it involves conflicting viewpoints. Additionally, it cannot be a topic that is already decided or agreed upon by most of society. You will need to take a firm position on the topic and use evidence and logic to support the position. Touchstone 1.2 includes a research question, a working thesis, a detailed outline, and a reflection on this pre-writing process.
A. Topic Selection Guidelines
DIRECTIONS:
You may choose any topic you wish as long as the topic has two clear sides and is not agreed upon by most of society. Your topic should be current, appropriate for an academic context and should have a focus suitable for a 6-8 page essay.
B. Research Guidelines
DIRECTIONS:
Refer to the list below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines.
1. Research Question and Working Thesis
Keep in mind:
The research question and working thesis are the driving force behind your research and eventual argument.
❒ Your research question should be a single sentence, framed as a question.
❒ Your working thesis should be a single focused sentence, framed as a statement that takes a clear position on the research question.
❒ Include your research question followed by your working thesis.
2. Detailed Outline
Keep in mind:
Your detailed outline provides a map of the argumentative research essay that you will write, including your key claims and the sources that support them. You may not have all your sources yet, and that is fine. The outline is a way to organize your essay and determine which areas (e.g. your sub-points) will require researched evidence as support.
❒ Headings: one for each paragraph with a brief label of the paragraph’s controlling idea(s); at least 7 body paragraphs, an introduction, and a conclusion
❒ Introduction includes your working thesis.
❒ Body paragraphs should each have their own unique title and key points.
❒ Conclusion includes notes on your final thoughts.
❒ Subheadings: two to five for each paragraph, below each heading, indicating key points that support the controlling idea
❒ Sources: one to three for each subheading, as relevant, indicating the support for the key point
❒ For each source, include the author’s name and the idea or information relevant to your argument (e.g. “Lappé on mono-cropping corn/soy and production”).
3. Reflection
❒ Have you displayed a clear understanding of the research activities?
❒ Have you answered all reflection questions thoughtfully and included insights, observations, and/or examples in all responses?
❒ Are your answers included on a separate page below the main assignment?

Following the Topic Selection Guidelines below, choose an argumentat.docx
Following the Topic Selection Guidelines below, choose an argumentative topic to research. This will be your topic throughout the entire course, so the activities required for this assignment will provide the foundation for your future Touchstones. The topic for an argumentative research paper must be a debatable topic, meaning that it involves conflicting viewpoints. Additionally, it cannot be a topic that is already decided or agreed upon by most of society. You will need to take a firm position on the topic and use evidence and logic to support the position. Touchstone 1.2 includes a research question, a working thesis, a detailed outline, and a reflection on this pre-writing process.
A. Topic Selection Guidelines
DIRECTIONS:
You may choose any topic you wish as long as the topic has two clear sides and is not agreed upon by most of society. Your topic should be current, appropriate for an academic context and should have a focus suitable for a 6-8 page essay.
B. Research Guidelines
DIRECTIONS:
Refer to the list below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines.
1. Research Question and Working Thesis
Keep in mind:
The research question and working thesis are the driving force behind your research and eventual argument.
❒ Your research question should be a single sentence, framed as a question.
❒ Your working thesis should be a single focused sentence, framed as a statement that takes a clear position on the research question.
❒ Include your research question followed by your working thesis.
2. Detailed Outline
Keep in mind:
Your detailed outline provides a map of the argumentative research essay that you will write, including your key claims and the sources that support them. You may not have all your sources yet, and that is fine. The outline is a way to organize your essay and determine which areas (e.g. your sub-points) will require researched evidence as support.
❒ Headings: one for each paragraph with a brief label of the paragraph’s controlling idea(s); at least 7 body paragraphs, an introduction, and a conclusion
❒ Introduction includes your working thesis.
❒ Body paragraphs should each have their own unique title and key points.
❒ Conclusion includes notes on your final thoughts.
❒ Subheadings: two to five for each paragraph, below each heading, indicating key points that support the controlling idea
❒ Sources: one to three for each subheading, as relevant, indicating the support for the key point
❒ For each source, include the author’s name and the idea or information relevant to your argument (e.g. “Lappé on mono-cropping corn/soy and production”).
3. Reflection
❒ Have you displayed a clear understanding of the research activities?
❒ Have you answered all reflection questions thoughtfully and included insights, observations, and/or examples in all responses?
❒ Are your answers included on a separate page below the main assignment?

Research
Research skills are important in both the academic and the work environment. During your career as a student, you have researched different subjects to gain knowledge. In the workplace, you may conduct research for numerous reasons, such as to determine the cost of new equipment, to gain an understanding of a technical term or concept, to summarize a procedure for your supervisor, or to uncover facts for a technical report.
To keep up with changes in technology, it is imperative that you gain familiarity with all available research methods. In the past, people typically performed research at a library. Today, they turn to the World Wide Web; however, technical writers can conduct research through numerous channels. Personal interviews, e-mail questionnaires, and listservs (programs by which e-mail messages are sent to a mailing list go out to all those on that list) can provide valid research opportunities.
Chances are, if you need to research a particular topic, your first source will be the Internet. There, you can find information from government organizations, academic institutions, commercial groups, and individuals. Remember, though, that not every site on the Web is a reliable source of information. Universities, for example, are more credible than obscure Web sites with a single author who lacks verifiable credentials. To conduct research on the Internet, follow these tips:
•Look for Web sites that end in .gov, .org, and .edu.
•For a .edu or other site, make sure you can find the author of the material.
•Check the author's credentials and see if he or she is referenced in the field.
•Find out whether the author has a bibliography or a works cited section, and check to ensure that his or her references are reputable (i.e., academic books, government journals, etc.).
•See whether the Web page has a publication date, and when the last update occurred.
•If you can't locate the origins of a Web page or its author, be aware that you may not have found a credible source.
Many groups, including federal agencies, offer online indexes and databases. These are generally broken down by subject matter (such as MEDLINE from the Community of Science (COS), which offers medical journals and health publications; or ERIC from the I.

Enterprise Architecture Enables Processes Paper
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program supports the other IT management processes of an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
· describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:
· initiation/planning/concept phase
· requirements analysis phase
· design phase
· development phase
· integration and testing phase
· implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase
You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to the organization.
The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and author-less website postings). If you need assistance with determining what a scholarly journal is, the UMUC library is a very good source of information, accessed via the following link: http://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/articles.cfm. Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA format.

Documents are graded on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being "Beginning" and 4 being "Mastery," to indicate their readiness to be submitted for publication or professional presentation.
With instructor approval, students will select an organization t.docx
With instructor approval, students will select an organization that either has or is experiencing challenges with its compensation and benefit system. The student will provide a brief historical view of the organization. The student should assess the company’s current challenge, review other organizations that had a similar situation (and the strategy they devised to address the issue), explore theories and strategies that should be contemplated to address the situation, and finally, include a recommendation to management regarding how to address/resolve the situation. Importantly, the student should ensure any recommendations are based on solid research and analysis and reflect a comprehensive solution to the problem.
The Final Paper must include a minimum of eight credible sources (in addition to textbook). Research topics must be reviewed in advance with the instructor.
Writing the Compensation and Benefits Paper
This essay must reflect what is considered the current "state of the art" systems, reflecting both academic and professional (practical) orientations. The Final Paper must be 8-10 double-spaced pages (not including the title and reference pages) and be formatted according to APA style guidelines. This paper may be written in first person. This Final Paper should review the available research, discuss the implications of that research for the topic area, and provide conclusions. The paper should be organized into the following areas (use section headings to organize your key points):
Introduction: The area of research should be described and the purpose of the research. That is, describe the topic area in terms of (a) its relationship to the topic and (b) what you want to be able to contribute to the training literature by writing this paper. Your introduction must include a succinct thesis statement.
Review of the literature: Students must provide a brief historical view of the organization and assess the company’s current challenges. This review will include an examination of other organizations with similar situations, including the strategies used to address their issues. Students need to explore theories and strategies that could address the situation. Identify any areas that may have not been addressed in the literature used for review.
Implications: Assess any implications. Organize the implications of the literature in a manner that logically builds the case for your recommendations. For each of your implications be sure to reference the literature related to that implication. Be sure to indicate whether the implication is one that has already been made in the literature or if this is one that is original to you through your own analysis.
Recommendations: Based on the research, students must make recommendations for a comprehensive solution to the problem. This is where you tie all the pieces together. Make sure your recommendations are organized in a logical order that synthesizes your major points relative to.

ARTICLE CRITIQUE
Purpose:
This assignment is to help the student improve his/her ability to use a library database to locate primary references, to improve their ability to paraphrase information, to create a more objective mindset in evaluating data, and to develop a document using a scientific approach to writing (American Psychological Association (APA) style). Please be aware that it IS NOT POSSIBLE to pass this course without doing this assignment.
Components:
Step 1: Database Assignment: Locate the Psychology Research Guide through the El Centro Library website, and using one of the two databases listed to locate a professional, research based, journal article from a psychology related journal. To qualify: the journal must be a professional (not student) psychology academic journal, must be published in the past five years, and must be research-oriented. The article must have full text availability and must have references. You may seek the help of a librarian, but you must be able to locate the article yourself if asked to do so. You MUST upload your article to the appropriate eCampus link for my approval BEFORE you proceed with the rest of the assignment.
Step 2: Creating a Cover Page and a References Page: In this assignment you are asked to create a cover page and a reference page based on the article you selected from the library database. Once you begin this assignment, you must use the article you selected for the rest of the semester. The cover page and the references page must adhere to APA standards, and they will be graded accordingly. The Cover page must have an APA running head and title which are appropriately related to the content of the article. The running head must also be placed correctly formatted on all pages of the assignment as shown on the template. The Title Page must accurately contain the required information as detailed on the template. The Reference Page must present author name(s) and initials, year of publication, title of article, title of journal, volume number, issue number, page numbers, and the digital object identifier (DOI) if available. You are required to place this in the appropriate APA style, double spaced and with a hanging indentation of .5 inches. Title and Reference pages that are not correctly done according to APA style will not be accepted and must be redone before moving on to the next step of the overall assignment.
Step 3: Writing an Introduction: In this assignment, you must indicate why the authors considered this to be important research and why they approached the topic as they did. This assignment is expected to involve a full page and must include appropriate citations, including both parenthetical and non-parenthetical citations.

It is important to become familiar with the literature in your specialization area, so you understand what is known and how we know it. Of course, in order to become familiar with the literature, you need to be able to find resources and evaluate them—hence the need for library skills. Do you know which journals are most highly regarded in your specialization? Do you know how to use keywords effectively when searching or how to read an article and find the most important information to summarize? These are all skills you need, not just for the courses you will take here at Capella, but you will also need them when you enter your field and throughout your career.
Note: We encourage you to keep an annotated bibliography for each course you take at Capella. Keeping a record of the articles you have found can help you build a reference list that you can continue to refer to throughout your program, for your capstone, and in your career.
Preparation
Complete the following if you have not already:
1. Determine a research question from your specialization.
2. Determine keywords and conduct a search of the most appropriate Capella University Library databases to find relevant, scholarly articles.
3. Choose 3–4 peer-reviewed, scholarly articles related to your research question.
4. Review the

Assignment 2 Instructions
Review the SHRM case, “The Reyes Fitness Centers, Inc: The Strategic HR Opportunity.”
Prepare a 4–6 page case analysis on the topic of strategic management and why it is critical to the success of
an organization in meeting its goals and mission. In your analysis respond to the following question: What is
strategic management and why is it critical to the success of an organization in meeting its goals and mission?
Your analysis of this case and your written submission should reflect an understanding of the critical issues of
the case, integrating the material covered in the text, and present concise and well-reasoned justifications for
the stance that you take.
Case analysis criteria: Your case analysis should consist of:
• A brief analysis of the situation and pending decision problem, as presented in the case, and as
relevant to your answer. This should be exceptionally brief and you should assume the person reading
the Assignment is familiar with the details of the case.
• Identification of the major issues surrounding the organization or individuals involved with the
organization.
• Identification of alternate courses of action to address the issues identified.
• The decision or recommendation for action, with the appropriate supporting arguments.
• The case question is designed to guide the direction of your analysis in the case. Your analysis should
address and ultimately answer the question.
You may discuss your case analysis Assignment with the class, but you must submit your own original work.
Case analysis tips: Avoid common errors in case analyses, such as:
• Focusing too heavily on minor issues.
• Lamenting because of insufficient data in the case and ignoring creative alternatives.
• Rehashing of case data — you should assume the reader knows the case.
• Not appropriately evaluating the quality of the case's data.
• Obscuring the quantitative analysis or making it difficult to understand.
Typical “minus (–)” grades result from submissions that:
• Are late.
• Are not well integrated and lack clarity.
• Do not address timing issues.
• Do not recognize the cost implications or are not practical.
• Get carried away with personal biases and are not pertinent to the key issues.
• Are not thoroughly proofread and corrected.
Assignment submission: Before you submit your Assignment, you should save your work on your computer
in a location that you will remember. Save the document using the naming convention:

Food festivals and celebrating a cultural holiday will not be accepted as an answer. Those are examples of tokenism to make the dominant culture feel like they are doing something. These two activities are fun and interesting, but not how we will strengthen our democracy.

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.
If Statement of Purpose 1.0. isn’t the best map it can be for th.

Research
Research skills are important in both the academic and the work environment. During your career as a student, you have researched different subjects to gain knowledge. In the workplace, you may conduct research for numerous reasons, such as to determine the cost of new equipment, to gain an understanding of a technical term or concept, to summarize a procedure for your supervisor, or to uncover facts for a technical report.
To keep up with changes in technology, it is imperative that you gain familiarity with all available research methods. In the past, people typically performed research at a library. Today, they turn to the World Wide Web; however, technical writers can conduct research through numerous channels. Personal interviews, e-mail questionnaires, and listservs (programs by which e-mail messages are sent to a mailing list go out to all those on that list) can provide valid research opportunities.
Chances are, if you need to research a particular topic, your first source will be the Internet. There, you can find information from government organizations, academic institutions, commercial groups, and individuals. Remember, though, that not every site on the Web is a reliable source of information. Universities, for example, are more credible than obscure Web sites with a single author who lacks verifiable credentials. To conduct research on the Internet, follow these tips:
•Look for Web sites that end in .gov, .org, and .edu.
•For a .edu or other site, make sure you can find the author of the material.
•Check the author's credentials and see if he or she is referenced in the field.
•Find out whether the author has a bibliography or a works cited section, and check to ensure that his or her references are reputable (i.e., academic books, government journals, etc.).
•See whether the Web page has a publication date, and when the last update occurred.
•If you can't locate the origins of a Web page or its author, be aware that you may not have found a credible source.
Many groups, including federal agencies, offer online indexes and databases. These are generally broken down by subject matter (such as MEDLINE from the Community of Science (COS), which offers medical journals and health publications; or ERIC from the I.

Enterprise Architecture Enables Processes Paper
Purpose of this Assignment
This assignment gives you the opportunity to apply your critical thinking skills and understanding of the course concepts to explain how the enterprise architecture (EA) and/or the EA program supports the other IT management processes of an organization. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes:
· describe enterprise architecture (EA), the appropriate application of EA frameworks, and an overall ongoing EA program
· analyze and examine how enterprise architecture and enterprise systems influence, support, and enable an organization's ability to contribute to strategic decision making and to respond and adapt to the business environment
· apply EA concepts to support business requirements and identify opportunities for enterprise solutions
Assignment
As you have learned throughout the course, EAs can be used to support a wide variety of information technology management processes, and an EA program strengthens IT management activities. A well-defined and implemented EA contributes significantly to each of the phases of the systems development life cycle (SDLC). For this assignment you will write a 3-5 page paper (not counting any cover sheet or reference pages) that explains briefly what enterprise architecture (EA) is and then how it supplements and enables each of the phases of the SDLC:
· initiation/planning/concept phase
· requirements analysis phase
· design phase
· development phase
· integration and testing phase
· implementation/deployment/support/maintenance phase
You should explain how EA enables each phase, how it fits into each phase, and what unique qualities or capabilities a well-defined EA contributes that might not otherwise be available to the organization.
The use of at least two external scholarly resources (other than class materials) is required. (NOTE: More than two external resources are required to receive all possible points; see Grading Rubric below.) You should use scholarly journals (rather than Wikipedia and author-less website postings). If you need assistance with determining what a scholarly journal is, the UMUC library is a very good source of information, accessed via the following link: http://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/articles.cfm. Remember to correctly cite and reference all sources using APA format.
Submit your paper in Word format via your Assignments Folder as an attached document with your last name included in the filename.

With instructor approval, students will select an organization t.docx
With instructor approval, students will select an organization that either has or is experiencing challenges with its compensation and benefit system. The student will provide a brief historical view of the organization. The student should assess the company’s current challenge, review other organizations that had a similar situation (and the strategy they devised to address the issue), explore theories and strategies that should be contemplated to address the situation, and finally, include a recommendation to management regarding how to address/resolve the situation. Importantly, the student should ensure any recommendations are based on solid research and analysis and reflect a comprehensive solution to the problem.
The Final Paper must include a minimum of eight credible sources (in addition to textbook). Research topics must be reviewed in advance with the instructor.
Writing the Compensation and Benefits Paper
This essay must reflect what is considered the current "state of the art" systems, reflecting both academic and professional (practical) orientations. The Final Paper must be 8-10 double-spaced pages (not including the title and reference pages) and be formatted according to APA style guidelines. This paper may be written in first person. This Final Paper should review the available research, discuss the implications of that research for the topic area, and provide conclusions. The paper should be organized into the following areas (use section headings to organize your key points):
Introduction: The area of research should be described and the purpose of the research. That is, describe the topic area in terms of (a) its relationship to the topic and (b) what you want to be able to contribute to the training literature by writing this paper. Your introduction must include a succinct thesis statement.
Review of the literature: Students must provide a brief historical view of the organization and assess the company’s current challenges. This review will include an examination of other organizations with similar situations, including the strategies used to address their issues. Students need to explore theories and strategies that could address the situation. Identify any areas that may have not been addressed in the literature used for review.
Implications: Assess any implications. Organize the implications of the literature in a manner that logically builds the case for your recommendations. For each of your implications be sure to reference the literature related to that implication. Be sure to indicate whether the implication is one that has already been made in the literature or if this is one that is original to you through your own analysis.
Recommendations: Based on the research, students must make recommendations for a comprehensive solution to the problem. This is where you tie all the pieces together. Make sure your recommendations are organized in a logical order that synthesizes your major points relative to.

It is important to become familiar with the literature in your specialization area, so you understand what is known and how we know it. Of course, in order to become familiar with the literature, you need to be able to find resources and evaluate them—hence the need for library skills. Do you know which journals are most highly regarded in your specialization? Do you know how to use keywords effectively when searching or how to read an article and find the most important information to summarize? These are all skills you need, not just for the courses you will take here at Capella, but you will also need them when you enter your field and throughout your career.
Note: We encourage you to keep an annotated bibliography for each course you take at Capella. Keeping a record of the articles you have found can help you build a reference list that you can continue to refer to throughout your program, for your capstone, and in your career.
Preparation
Complete the following if you have not already:
1. Determine a research question from your specialization.
2. Determine keywords and conduct a search of the most appropriate Capella University Library databases to find relevant, scholarly articles.
3. Choose 3–4 peer-reviewed, scholarly articles related to your research question.
4. Review the
Annotated Bibliography Worksheet [DOCX]
, which you will use to write your assignment.
Instructions

Assignment 2 Instructions
Review the SHRM case, “The Reyes Fitness Centers, Inc: The Strategic HR Opportunity.”
Prepare a 4–6 page case analysis on the topic of strategic management and why it is critical to the success of
an organization in meeting its goals and mission. In your analysis respond to the following question: What is
strategic management and why is it critical to the success of an organization in meeting its goals and mission?
Your analysis of this case and your written submission should reflect an understanding of the critical issues of
the case, integrating the material covered in the text, and present concise and well-reasoned justifications for
the stance that you take.
Case analysis criteria: Your case analysis should consist of:
• A brief analysis of the situation and pending decision problem, as presented in the case, and as
relevant to your answer. This should be exceptionally brief and you should assume the person reading
the Assignment is familiar with the details of the case.
• Identification of the major issues surrounding the organization or individuals involved with the
organization.
• Identification of alternate courses of action to address the issues identified.
• The decision or recommendation for action, with the appropriate supporting arguments.
• The case question is designed to guide the direction of your analysis in the case. Your analysis should
address and ultimately answer the question.
You may discuss your case analysis Assignment with the class, but you must submit your own original work.
Case analysis tips: Avoid common errors in case analyses, such as:
• Focusing too heavily on minor issues.
• Lamenting because of insufficient data in the case and ignoring creative alternatives.
• Rehashing of case data — you should assume the reader knows the case.
• Not appropriately evaluating the quality of the case's data.
• Obscuring the quantitative analysis or making it difficult to understand.
Typical “minus (–)” grades result from submissions that:
• Are late.
• Are not well integrated and lack clarity.
• Do not address timing issues.
• Do not recognize the cost implications or are not practical.
• Get carried away with personal biases and are not pertinent to the key issues.
• Are not thoroughly proofread and corrected.

Personal Reflection Memo The unexamined life is not worth
This document provides instructions for a research paper assignment on strategic thinking, decision-making, and innovation for a graduate course. Students must choose a topic from a list provided or from the chapter readings and research a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed articles on the topic. The 4-5 page paper must include an overview of the topic's importance, the purpose of the research, a literature review summarizing the major points of the articles in the student's own words, an application of the research to business practice, and a conclusion. The paper will be graded based on inclusion of all components, demonstration of critical thinking, use of scholarly research, topic relevance to course materials, writing quality, and proper use and formatting of references.
How to write a research proposal for ph d
This document provides guidance on writing a research proposal for a PhD. It outlines the key sections that should be included such as an overview of the research, literature review, research questions, research approach, significance, and references. It emphasizes that the proposal is used to assess the quality of ideas, critical thinking skills, and feasibility of the research project. The document also notes potential pitfalls to avoid such as ensuring the research idea is clearly stated and addresses a gap, and that the scope of the project is reasonable and can be completed in three years.

“…if one of the primary purposes of education is to teach young people the skills, knowledge, and critical awareness to become productive members of a diverse and democratic society, a broadly conceptualize multicultural education can have a decisive influence.” Textbook page 338.
What steps do you think schools can or should take to promote our democracy in today’s very diverse country?
Food festivals and celebrating a cultural holiday will not be accepted as an answer. Those are examples of tokenism to make the dominant culture feel like they are doing something. These two activities are fun and interesting, but not how we will strengthen our democracy.

✍
Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.
If Statement of Purpose 1.0. isn’t the best map it can be for th.

■ Research Paper
General Systems Theory: Its Past and
Potential†
Peter Caws1,2*
1Department of Philosophy, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA
2American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington, DC, USA
This paper has three parts. First, I discuss what I take as the original stimulus and the pur-
pose of general systems theory (GST) to be, why I think it is important, and how I came to
be involved in it. I reflect on von Bertalanffy’s general system (sic) theory and the early
debates on the topic, stressing the essential concept of isomorphism, with its rewards in
following up parallel developments in different domains, and its risks and temptations
in the projection of grand and all-inclusive systems. Second, I discuss the direction my
own work took after my term as President of the Society for General Systems Research
(1966–1967), and how it diverged from the early program, in particular in its emphasis
on the difference between system and structure and on the essential role of individual
subjectivity in the latter. I stress the importance of the concept of ‘relation’ as underlying
that of ‘system’, and in particular the difference between relations as embodied in physical
systems and relations as components of intentional structures that may or may not corre-
spond to physical systems. In the third and final part, I discuss the place of GST in the
philosophy of science, especially in connection with the unity of science movement, and
its potential for the organization of this domain. I ask what light the concept of system
can throw on our knowledge of the universe and its worlds (a distinction explained in
the paper), and what the risks are of assuming tight isomorphisms between mathematical
structures and physical systems, for example, in cosmology and quantum mechanics.

of the following options below and, in your post, write a paraphrase that avoids plagiarism of the paragraph you have chosen. Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.
or
Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

••• JONATHAN LETHEM CRITICS OFTEN USE the word prolifi.docx
- Jonathan Lethem is known for publishing many novels, stories, essays and other works across different genres. He is described as a "protean" or shape-shifting writer.
- Lethem believes creativity comes from influence and interaction with other works, not isolated originality. He celebrates the "ecstasy of influence" where culture is built upon what came before through borrowing and remixing.
- Many artists, including musicians, visual artists and writers, engage in practices that borrow and reuse elements from other works but these practices are seen as essential to creativity rather than plagiarism. Appropriation and remixing are at the core of cultural production.

A National Profile of
the Real Estate Industry and
the Appraisal Profession
by J. Reid Cummings and Donald R. Epley, PhD, MAI, SRA
FEATURES
T
J- he
he real estate industry has been devastated on many fronts' in the years
following the Great Recession, whieh began in 2007^ due to the bursting of the
housing bubble and the subsequent finaneial crisis relating to the mortgage
market meltdown.' The implosion of the mortgage markets initially began when
two Bear Stearns mortgage-backed securities hedge funds, holding nearly $10
billion in assets, disintegrated into nothing.* Panie quickly spread to financial
institutions that could not hide the extent of their toxic, subprime exposures, and
a massive, worldwide credit squeeze ensued; outright fear soon replaced panic.
Subsequent eredit tightening and substantial illiquidity in the financial markets
rapidly and severely affected the housing and construction markets.' Throughout
the United States, properties of all kinds saw dramatic value declines.
In thousands of cases, real estate foreclosures disrupted people's lives,
forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue .docx
“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us, this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version, the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course, all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story, our choice is between a course of action that will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)
1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?
2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.
3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources Sou.docx
- 1. Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources Source type What is it? Examples Best used for Scholarly A source written by scholars or academics in a field. The purpose of many scholarly sources is to report on original research or experimentation in order to make such information available to the rest of the scholarly community. The audience for scholarly sources is other scholars or experts in a field. Scholarly sources include references and usually use language that is technical or at a high reading level. *Note: Different databases may define “scholarly” in slightly different ways, and thus a source that is considered “scholarly” in one database may not be considered “scholarly” in another database. The final decision about the appropriateness of a given source for a particular assignment is left to the instructor. Scholarly Journals • Journal of Management Information Systems • American Journal of Public Health
- 2. • Early Childhood Research Quarterly Scholarly Books (published by a university press or other high-quality publisher) • Shari’a Politics: Islamic Law and Society in the Modern World • The Grand Design: Strategy and the U.S. Civil War • The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise: Molecules That Move Us Journal articles: • Recent research on a topic • Very specific topics or narrow fields of research • NOT good for an introduction to or broad overview of a topic Books: • In-depth information and research on a topic • Putting a topic into context • Historical information on a topic Peer Reviewed A publication that has gone through an official
- 3. editorial process that involves review and approval by the author’s peers (experts in the same subject area). Many (but not all) scholarly publications are peer reviewed. *Note: even though a journal is peer reviewed, some types of articles within that journal may not be peer reviewed. These might include editorials or book reviews. **Note: some publications (such as some trade journals) can be peer reviewed but not scholarly. This is not common. See “Scholarly Journals” above Books go through a different editorial process and are not usually considered to be “peer reviewed”. However, they can still be excellent scholarly sources. See above Credible A source that can be trusted to contain accurate information that is backed up by evidence or can be verified in other trusted sources. Many types of sources can fall into this category. *Note: The final decision about the appropriateness of a given source for a

Also: • Newspapers • Magazines • Books • Trade journals or publications • Government websites • Websites from educational institutions (like universities) • Websites or other publications from reputable organizations (like the Mayo Clinic) • Encyclopedias (general or subject) Many websites could be considered credible. The more information provided about the source, the more likely they are to be credible. Look for information about the author and/or the organization, how recently it was published, the intended audience, the intended purpose, and whether there is evidence of bias. • Basic/general/background information about a topic
- 5. • Current events • Local news • Statistical data • Information about specific organizations or companies (look at the organization’s or company’s website, or look for articles in newspapers or trade journals) • Government information • Information about popular culture • Opinions or commentaries • Topics of general interest Ashford University Library, June 2015, CR 0130415 3/19/2018 https://au.waypointoutcomes.com/assessment/21335/preview https://au.waypointoutcomes.com/assessment/21335/preview 1/3

- 13. Team Management Ac�vity and Reflec�on This assignment focuses on how the management practices of planning, leading, organizing, staffing, and controlling are implemented in your workplace. Using the Ashford University Library and other credible online resources, find three Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (https://bridgepoint.equella.ecollege.com/curriculum/file/b2d6fb 25-629e-42e1-a13e- 43bf67043c8a/1/Scholarly%2C%20Peer%20Reviewed%2C%20a nd%20Other%20Credible%20Sources.docx) that provide information on Amazon.com’s business structure. Here is the scenario and situation: Assume you are an employee working in the Amazon warehouse, and you pack orders and categorize them into small, medium, and large batches. You are considered a packer. You have experience packing all sizes and have been with the organization for two years. You are considered one of their best employees, you have a solid reputation for being a hard worker, and all of your orders are packed correctly. You have also been busy; you recently completed Amazon’s management training program, and you have completed your BABA degree at the Forbes School of Business and Technology at Ashford University. Congratulations: You have just been promoted to manager. You will be relocated to a new plant that is two hours away that employs 100 employees. You will oversee a team of 10 supervisors and 90 packers and will now oversee the entire warehouse operation. How will you work to use and apply the five functions of management?
- 14. Now let’s apply the five functions. In your paper, include the following sections: Planning: Examine the specific areas you will choose to manage that fall under the planning function. For example, what might be some of the things you will plan to do and implement to build an effective team and culture? People are the most important resource in any business, what do you plan to do to build a positive team culture? What processes and systems do you plan to use? Organizing: Assess if the present structure that Amazon has set up is working. Do you need to make or suggest any changes to make it more efficient and effective? What structure will you use and implement? Explain how you will use departmentalization in your organizational structure. Staffing: Analyze your staffing needs. How do you intend to staff your organization and replace members that leave or are promoted? How does the HR process apply? What things (if any) will you suggest? Leading: Justify the leadership theory and style you will follow to ensure efficiency. Will you use transformational or transactional leadership? Why or why not? Controls: Identify what controls and measures you will implement. How will you apply the four steps of control (these are in Chapter 5; i.e., establishing standards,
- 15. measuring performance, comparing performance, and making decisions)? https://bridgepoint.equella.ecollege.com/curriculum/file/b2d6fb 25-629e-42e1-a13e- 43bf67043c8a/1/Scholarly%2C%20Peer%20Reviewed%2C%20a nd%20Other%20Credible%20Sources.docx 4/7/2018 Week 4 - Assignment https://ashford.instructure.com/courses/20399/assignments/4045 18?module_item_id=1027164 2/3 Be sure to integrate vocabulary learned throughout this course and citations from the text to support your analysis.
