Assessment 1: Annotated bibliography (Theory) An annotated bibliography provides an explanation of the best available research on a given research topic. The annotation usually contains a brief summary of content and a short analysis or evaluation of the research article. The goal of this assessment is to reflect, summarise, critique and evaluate research, about the research topic. Resources are available on LMS to assist with your preparation of this assessment. For the annotated bibliography, use five journal articles. Prepare an annotation of each article with the goal of informing the reader as to the content, relevance and quality of the research (about 200 words for each article). Focus Question - Explain how theories may be applied to the practice of leading and managing nonprofit organisations. Select one of the following theories to assist you in your approach 1. Resource Dependency Theory; or, 2. Stakeholder Theory; or, 3. Another theory…. Please note the following: • Word count 1,000 words. • Approximately 200 words per annotation • Number of academic journal articles – five (5) with no more than two (2) being older than 2014 • Assessment format – Times New Roman size 12 font; 1.5 line spacing • Do not attach a cover page but ensure your name and student number is on your assessment • Referencing format – APA 7th https://libguides.murdoch.edu.au/APA https://libguides.murdoch.edu.au/APA CHECKLIST – Annotated Bibliography (FOR USE BY STUDENTS) Content/Research Has the student identified important pieces of literature on the topic? Have a range of appropriate types of literature been consulted in accordance with the brief? Has the student outlined the key issues raised and discussed these? Has the theory been covered in appropriate depth and breadth for the size of the assessment? Has the student demonstrated an understanding of the current understanding of theory? Has the student demonstrated an understanding of the importance of the theory? Critical Analysis Has the student offered sufficient selected literature? Has the student critically analysed each of the selected articles? Are opposing or critical views identified and discussed? Does the contribution demonstrate understanding of how the concepts fit into the broader context of leading and managing nonprofit organisations? Does the contribution demonstrate understanding by the student of higher-level thinking, and linking to the theory? Presentation, format, grammar, spelling and referencing Has a good standard of spelling been maintained? Has a good standard of grammar been maintained? Has a consistent recognised referencing format been followed? Is the material presented in a well-organised and logical order? Is the language used appropriate? Has an appropriate contribution format been adopted?

Markers comments: Mark: _________out of 30 PowerPoint Presentation Writing an annotated bibliography What is an annotated bibliography? A list of references, each with its own short annotation, focusing on a given topic What is the main purpose of creating an annotated bibliography? To develop and evaluate knowledge of the research available on a particular research topic. What does the annotation for each source include? • The full reference (author, year of publication, title, publisher etc) • A summary of the key ideas from the source • Your own comments and evaluation of the content and its relevance to your assignment topic Annotation = Reference + Summary + Own Comments and Evaluation Writing an Annotated Bibliography It helps to • develop summarising skills by identifying key ideas in relevant sections • develop an in-depth understanding of the given topic • develop critical thinking and reading skills • think about your own ideas on the topic Why create an annotated bibliography? Journal articles Read the introduction and conclusion and use the subheadings to locate the most relevant parts. Reports Read the summary, introduction, conclusion and recommendations at the end. How to find the main points quickly in different kinds of texts Essay Topic: Poverty in the USA Example Annotation - structure Source Structure and Comments Cancian, M., Haveman, R., Meyer, D. R., & Wolfe, B. (2000). Before and after Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF): The economic well-being of women leaving welfare (Special Report No. 77). Madison, WI: Institute for Research on Poverty. Retrieved from http://www.irp.wisc.edu/publications/sr/pdfs/sr77.pdf Using data from before and after the implementation of TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), the study compares the well-being of those who left welfare under early Wisconsin reforms and those who left under the later more stringent TANF program. Earnings were lower in the second cohort, consistent with the hypothesis that the new welfare regime pushes people with fewer employment skills into the labor market where they accept lower- paying jobs, joining the ranks of the working poor. This study provides evidence that new antipoverty policies are not necessarily more effective than older ones and would be used in the final section of the essay evaluating the impacts of recent antipoverty policies. Although the data is useful, the evidence is limited to only one state, Wisconsin, and may not be true of other States in the US.

The aim (or purpose) of the research by Heikkinen et al. (2019) was to understand the engagement of stakeholder theory in the non-profit organisation. The research was conducted based on Mixed Methods. The researchers used a survey. The researchers used the methods of interviews. The participants for the survey were the chairpersons of national networks. The researchers used a sample. They identified 18 potential chairpersons of national networks. 15 chairpersons of the national network actually took part in the research. The findings state that the network groups play a pivotal role in stakeholder theory concerning the non-profitable organisations. The second findings state that it is the role of the stakeholders, which decide the decision-making power of the organisation. The stakeholders suggest that business ethics is the most important aspect in the organisation. Strengths of the research are that the findings are highly helpful to understand the implications of stakeholders’ theory over the workforce of the NPOs. The weaknesses of the research are that the study is limited to its generalisability. The researchers concluded that testimony highlights the stakeholder’s management and its importance over the workforce of the NPOs. It is certain that the article helps in answering the research question. The article has answered the importance stakeholder theory is applicable and implied in a NPO.
