The goal of these business periodicals is to understand how concepts in the textbook relate to real-world phenomena. Find a recent article (within the past 2 months) from the popular business press (e.g., Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Week, etc.) illustrating a topic related to the course material we have for the previous two weeks. Don’t forget to cite the article you use. You have free access to most of the resources using UHD library, for example for WJS use this link WSJ.com/ActivateUHDowntown.
It is an individual assignment and should be 1 page with “Time New Roman”, the double-spaced, and standard margin in Words. Please do not exceed the limit unless you ask your instructor. For writing, there is no structure, and you have flexibility. However, you need to have a good flow of writing. Explain what the article is about, explain the details and the way it is related to the material we have learned in the course. Conclude with your own suggestion and general thought about the article. Avoid just summarizing the article, relate it clearly to the material you have learned in the class.
