Unit II Article Critique

For this assignment, choose a peer-reviewed article to critique related to World Trade, Developing Countries, or a subtopic related to this Unit. Use the databases within the CSU Online Library, or use another source that contains peer reviewedarticles. The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice reviewing articles that contribute to the industry.

The authors of these articles are researchers and professionals who have shared or experimented with ideas that demonstrate potential to improve the industry. As a professional in the industry, it is in your best interest to review the literature and trends. This provides you with the opportunity to read about what was successful and how it was accomplished. Plus, it allows you to analyze what was unsuccessful, how you can improve it, or at least how you can avoid repeating the mistakes of others. Use these skills to contribute to Research Papers and other scholarly writings. If you have not already, hopefully, you will contribute to the industry by publishing an article and sharing with your community of peers.

As you read the article you choose for this assignment, consider the following questions:

How could the topic of this article apply to your personal or professional life? How could it apply to an organization you have observed?

The article you choose must meet the following requirements:

· Be peer reviewed

· Relate to the concepts within this course

· Be at least ten pages in length

The writing you submit must meet the following requirements:

· Be at least two pages

· Identify the main topic/question – include how it ties into the objectives.

· Identify the author’s intended audience

· Critique the article and share your thoughts—what appears to be valid and invalid?

· Do you agree with the author’s assertions? Why, or why not?

· Try to find an article that can tie into your portfolio project for the course. Further information and research on important concepts and topics will allow you to attain a better analysis of the MNC for your portfolio project.
