*****The purpose of this assignment is to practice an important aspect of the writing process: synthesizing the information from a scholarly article and drawing meaningful connections to future implications.*****
First, select an industry with which you are familiar and in which you intended to have your future career, such as health care, marketing, retail, technology, etc. Consider an organization or position you might be interested in. The industry you select in this assignment will be the focus for the remaining writing assignments in this course.
Once you have made your selection, refer to the article "How Do Consumers Reconcile Positive and Negative CSR-Related Information to Form an Ethical Brand Perception? A Mixed Method Inquiry" as well as the guidelines for writing, located in the Topic 2 Resources. Then address the prompts below in a paper of 750 to 1,000 words:
- Summarize and paraphrase the assigned article, addressing the required sections shown in the attached "Article Review Example" template document (the research problem and questions, the methodology, the findings, and the implications discussed by the authors).
- Discuss how the findings and implications of this article would impact the industry or organization you have identified for your future career.
- You do not need to find additional research for this assignment as the assigned article should be the only information cited in each section.
Reminder: This is an academic exercise that should not be written in first person. This is an APA paper that includes a separate title page and a reference page.

******The purpose of this assignment is to conduct graduate-level academic research on an industry of choice.*****
In the "Article Review" assignment in this topic, you selected an industry that you plan to focus on for your future career. In this assignment, you will identify scholarly resources that will help you to prepare for the Topic 3 "Concept Map" and the Topic 4 "Three Pillars, Free Market Principles, and Future Impact" assignments. Review the directions in the Topic 3 and Topic 4 assignments for details.
Using Google Scholar, the GCU Library, or another reputable site, identify scholarly sources that are relevant to your chosen industry that support the concepts of the Colangelo College of Business's three-pillars – servant leadership, ethics, and entrepreneurism – as well as free market principles. Refer to the Topic 2 Resources to determine what is considered a scholarly resource and for assistance with this assignment.
You will also reference one chapter from Mastering Graduate Studies and the book Solid Ground: A Foundation for Winning in Work and in Life by T.W. Lewis, both located in the Class Resources.
Complete the attached "References List Worksheet" by accurately formatting the eight required reference types, listed below. Type your references into the corresponding cells of the table within the worksheet, and do not delete the provided examples. These references should be formatted according to APA requirements within the chart according to the type of reference. Please be mindful of capitalization, italics, and punctuation. All references must have all been published within five years of the assignment’s due date. Do not include any topic Resources or other Class Resources outside of the two that are required. Do not include examples from the worksheet in your references. Include all the required types of references, listed below:
- Four peer-reviewed journal articles (include at least one article for each of the three pillars: servant leadership, ethics, and entrepreneurism and one for free market principles)
- Solid Ground: A Foundation for Winning in Work and in Life, located in the Class Resources.
- One webpage
- One dissertation/thesis from a database
- One book chapter from Mastering Graduate Studies, located in the Class Resources.
Then, create a title page and a references list for the above resources. Submit the completed "References List Worksheet" to the dropbox. The title page and references list should be completed at the end of the worksheet, so you should only be submitting one document for this assignment.
