MGMT 1010

Article Summary and Presentation Assignment

60 Points Maximum

Procedure:

1. Find an interesting article related to a topic of your choice. The topic must be a Management

concept from one of the chapters that weve studied this semester. Note that you are not trying

to explain a chapter; rather, you are trying to apply one or more concepts to an actual

Management situation. Do not simply outline the chapter and try to present it, or profile a

company or organization.

2. Prepare a written summary (minimum 500 words) of the article that you will deliver to the class.

The summary should give us the highlights of the article (in your own words), and should more

importantly identify how your article relates to the chapter youve chosen to present. The

article will probably not relate to the entire chapter; it will likely be an example of one or more

concepts from the chapter. You know youve found a good article when it immediately reminds

you of something youve studied! This results in not just a mention of your topic; rather the

references are woven throughout your summary. Lastly, the summary should also include the

name of the article, the name of the publication, the date the article was published and how you

found it. This summary will be attached to your initial post in the forum.
