please read and use instructions carefully, I uploaded chapters to choose topics from and to use a page number for references
The purpose of this assignment is to help you become more aware of international business and culture in the news. Instead of giving you a current event article to analyze, you will search for an article that provides a real world example of an economic concept you have covered so far in any of the chapters covered. You will post this to the Discussion Board so that others will have the benefit of seeing other examples and making commenets.
Your current event submission must include the following:
Title of the Article
Source including the URL (Note: The URL must be active and one anyone can copy and paste to access the article) or posted as an attachment if you get it from actual newspaper copy (Note: Scanning the article does not violate copyright because we are making it available only to the class through password protection and not distributing it). See below for suggestions on search techniques.
List the relevant topics (It will be helpful for grading purposes if this is listed at the beginning of your post rather than only incorporated in your narrative.)
Discuss the article by providing:
a summary of the important points of the article
specific examples from the article related to international business concepts you listed above (either described or quoted)
page numbers where the concepts are presented in the textbook and/or the PowerPoint slides so your colleagues use it for reference
Post your article as a thread on the Discussion Board under Current Event. Use the title of your article as the thread title
Search suggestions. Most of you will do an internet search. Here are some things to watch out for:
Choose your search terms carefully. Do not use articles from Wikipedia, Investopedia, dictionaries, About.com, company ads, articles on topics not covered in class but with the term in the title. None of these are appropriate for your analysis and you won’t get any points for the discussion board.
Do use articles from newspapers or news agencies if possible. Articles must be more than 1-2 paragraphs. If you use editorials or blogs, keep in mind that these sources tend to be biased (normative) in the use of economic analysis. If you want to use this as an opportunity to critically analyze the opinion piece, be sure that you point out in your summary any errors in use of economic terminology or analysis; otherwise, you won’t get full points for this type of post.
You may also use the Steely Library link. Again, be careful that you choose your search term carefully and avoid academic journals.
