Annotated Bibliography Assignment Instructions

Overview

In preparation for writing each of your Discussions, you should submit your Annotated Bibliography Assignment on the topic that is being covered for the week (Marketing, Accounting, Finance, Management, Economic Data Analysis, International Business).

· Summarize the source and discuss the research study that was conducted and what the findings were.

Each annotation should look like:

Author (year). Title of article. Title of Journal, Vol no(issue). Pg to pg.

In your summary, you will begin with a discussion of the research question the study is attempting to answer. You will summarize the research that was conducted and the specific findings that were uncovered. You will then provide a summary of what this means for the topic.

Next, you will discuss how the source compares with other sources in your paper and how useful is the source in attributing to your writing.
