Module 1 Deliverable: Topic Selection & Annotated Bibliography

Instructions

Students must select their topic and submit an annotated bibliography by the end of Week 2.

Topic selection should clearly identify the organizational/societal need or the business opportunity you plan to pursue, the means of addressing that need, and any personal experience or involvement

A preliminary annotated bibliography should contain 7-10 sources, each with a brief paragraph describing why that source is valuable and how it contributes to the student’s project

Proper APA formatting and referencing are required for all written assignments. For discussion boards, proper formatting is not required; however, you MUST cite your sources. Improper formatting or citations will result in up to a 20% deduction for your grade on the assignment.

When page requirements are given for an assignment, proper formatting is assumed (1″ margins, 12 point font, double spaced), and the title page does not count toward the page requirement.

For full APA guidelines, the College of Business and Leadership recommends Purdue Owl.
