Research/find a minimum at least four, preferably five (5) or more, different peer-reviewed articles topic (Risk, Issue and crisis management)

Learning Goal: I’m working on a business plans question and need guidance to help me learn.

Topic: Risk, Issue and crisis management

Research Paper: This is a graduate course and students will be expected to research and write papers summarizing in their own words what they have found on current topics from the weekly readings. Research is a theoretical review of relevant literature and application of findings in the literature to a topic related to a specific industry, field, or business problem.

The research must be conducted using peer-reviewed trade or academic journals. While Blogs, Wikipedia, encyclopedias, course textbooks, popular magazines, newspaper articles, online websites, etc. are helpful for providing background information, these resources are NOT suitable resources for this research assignment.

Please Note: The UC Library staff are very helpful with assisting students in using the UC Online Library journal database. Please contact them if you have issues. In addition, the instructor has provided additional resources, including a research tutorial, in the “Course Resources” folder in the “Content” area of the course.

Assignment Requirements:

  1. Choose a research topic from the chapter readings.
  2. Research/find a minimum at least four (4), preferably five (5) or more, different peer-reviewed articles on your topic from the University of the Cumberlands Library online business database. The article(s) must be relevant and from a peer-reviewed source. While you may use relevant articles from any time frame, current/published within the last five (5) years are preferred. Using literature that is irrelevant or unrelated to the chosen topic will result in a point reduction.
  3. Write a four (4) to five (5) page double spaced paper in APA format discussing the findings on your specific topic in your own words. Note – paper length does not include cover page, abstract, or references page(s).
  5. Structure your paper as follows and use APA formatted section headings for the introduction through the conclusion:
    1. APA formatted cover page
    2. Introduction: Include an overview describing the importance of the research topic to current business and professional practice in your own words. Also include the Purpose of Research which should reflect the potential benefit of the topic to the current business and professional practice and the larger body of research.
    3. Review of the Literature summarized in your own words. Note that this should not be a “copy and paste” of literature content, nor should this section be substantially filled with direct quotes from the article. A literature review is a summary of the major points and findings of each of the selected articles (with appropriate citations). Direct quotations should be used sparingly. Normally, this will be the largest section of your paper (this is not a requirement; just a general observation).
    4. Practical Application of the literature. Describe how your findings from the relevant research literature can shape, inform, and improve current business and professional practice related to your chosen topic.
    5. Conclusion in your own words.
    6. References formatted according to APA style requirements.
    7. Please Note: Plagiarism will not be tolerated. The paper must be written in your own words. YOU MUST INCLUDE IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR ALL PARAPHRASED AND DIRECTLY QUOTED MATERIAL. WHEN YOU SUMMARIZE A SOURCE IN YOUR OWN WORDS, YOU ARE PARAPHRASING, AND YOU MUST INCLUDE AN IN-TEXT CITATION OF THE SOURCE IN THESE SITUATIONS, OR YOU ARE PLAGIARIZING.
