that we understand how to summarise and paraphrase the work of other scholars and demonstrate an ability to draw out their main ideas and cite them accurately. the aim of this assessment is to support the development of these skills as well as to broaden your overall familiarity with the subject- related academic literature. online academic writing evaluation (awe) test, which was conducted in weeks 2-3, will have provided an indication of your current academic writing skills and areas to improve. the feedback you receive on this assessment will be used to improve your performance and confidence in completing assessment 3 (research essay). * * * in this assignment, students must develop a research question, select relevant literature, and write annotated bibliography, informing the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of selected sources. step 1. develop a research question related to a recent or current global issue or trend facing managers in a particular country or region. discuss it with your lecturer and other students in class or via on-line forum. assessment template page 2 of 2 here are some examples of legitimate research questions: • what are the common challenges that mnes face in forming and managing joint ventures with state owned enterprises in your country? • how to create an effective cross-cultural training program for australian expatriates working in your country? • how to become an effective business leader in a low power-distance culture? *you may develop your own research question (subject to your lecturer’s approval). **your research question should be different from those of the other students in your class. step 2. search academic journals or books and select three (3) academic journal articles or book chapters relevant to the topic of your interest and chosen research question. step 3. write the annotated bibliography (approx. 500 words about each article or chapter, maximum combined length 1,500 words), outlining their relevance to your research topic, research method, expected findings and possible implications for managers. acknowledge each article/chapter in accordance with icms 2021 style guide (apa style 7th edition). the purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate your ability to develop a research question, to select relevant academic texts and to summarise them in your own words with proper referencing. step 4. submit your annotated bibliography at the end of week 7 to turnitin in the subject moodle site (see the date and time). your annotated bibliography will form a basis for your future assignment 3 (research essay). readings for the assessment (instructions where they can be found e.g. myathens database, moodle etc.) refer to the textbook, myathens database, and useful resources in moodle. grading criteria / rubric assignment 2 marking rubric is available on the mgt604 moodle site. points)="Poor" grammar,="" punctuation="" and="" annotations="" are=""
