Contemporary Management Technique Research Paper Assignment Instructions
Based on your evaluation of GEICO in the previous Learning Project: Company Analysis and
Evaluation Project Assignment, select 1 contemporary management technique
(listed in the Blocher & Hicks text) not currently being implemented in the
organization/segment that could aid the organization/segment in achieving its critical
success factors (CSFs).
Using the electronic databases provided by the Jerry Falwell
Library and other sources, search for journal articles in professional, peer-reviewed
accounting and business journals that pertain to the contemporary management
technique chosen.
Write a research paper in current
APA format. The paper must be 10–15 double-spaced pages, with 1-inch margins
and current APA pagination. The font must be 12-point Times New Roman. The
paper must include references from at least 5 different sources. Be sure to
include a title page and a reference page in addition to the essay pages. The
title page and the reference page do not
count as part of the 10–15-page length requirement.
The paper must address the following in order:
Rationale
for the contemporary management technique selected
In-depth
analysis of the technique, in which you fully describe the technique, its
implementation process, its application by other organizations, its applicability
to your organization/segment, and your plan for implementation
Additional guidelines:
Avoid using first and
second person (e.g., “I,” “we,” “you,” etc.).
You must reference a
minimum of your textbooks and 5 additional scholarly sources. Wikipedia,
Investopedia, and the like are not considered scholarly sources and should
not be used. Any use of these sources will be grounds for a 50-point deduction.
Any personal communication
should be cited appropriately within the text; however, citations of
personal communication are not needed for the reference section.
An abstract and table of contents
are not needed.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via
