Unit IV Annotated Bibliography

For your second submission towards your research paper, you will expand upon the Unit I Research Paper Topic by creating an annotated bibliography.

Your annotated bibliography will include five outside sources from the CSU Online Library that you can use for the research paper due in Unit VII. In the Unit I Research Paper Topic, you located two scholarly sources. You may continue to use these sources for this assignment or choose all new articles.

Within your annotations, you will include a brief summary of the source. The summary should include answers to the following questions:

What are the authors main points? How does this source fit into my research? Is this source objective, or does it have a bias? How could I use this information in my paper?

Also, be sure to avoid including your own opinion on the contingency theory of leadership you selected and any information not related to your theory.

Each of your five sources should include a 100-150 word annotation.

If you would like some helpful tips on how to write the annotations or format the annotated bibliography, consider watching the Success Centers webinar located here.
