I. Summary (15 points)

In this section, please summarize your choice of article. It should be about 1-2 paragraphs, and less than one page.

II. Define the main problem/issue (15 points)

In this section, please try to find the main problem/ issue from your choice of article. The main problem/ issue can be similar to what your chosen article author is arguing. On the other hand, you may not agree with the author’s point of view. Please describe whether you agree/disagree with the author, and would like to add a point with your own opinion. It should be about 1-2 paragraphs, and less than one page.

III. Application (50 points)

This is the most important section of this assignment. Try to find related theory from your textbook or lecture note and apply to your chosen article. For example, if you choose to study on employee job satisfaction, you need to describe (1) how job satisfaction can be defined (or measured) in the organization, (2) what other things are related to job satisfaction, and (3) what leader should know to improve job satisfaction based on what we learn (will learn). For other topics, application should be different from the example above. I am expecting to see at least THREE application points from our course material. This section should be more than 2.5 pages.

This is a short paragraph of what you have discussed through the assignment. It should be about 1-2 paragraph and less than a half page.
