Research topic: Leadership strategy
Each student should complete an APA annotated bibliography for their approved research paper topic. Create the bibliography using at least 5 peer reviewed journal articles. Students will be graded on the quality of the courses, following APA format, and for quality of their writing (mechanics, spelling, etc).
Students who need a tutorial on how to create an annotated bibliography should use this site for more information:

A sample annotated bibliography can be found here:

BE SURE TO FOLLOW APA format.

This article presents the new standards for outsourcing developed by the AICPA ethics
committee. The standards are summarized, and a brief discussion is included of the
implications going forward for business and international trade. The authors indicate that
changes to the business community will be relatively minor. This is a helpful source for
getting an overview of the current ethics standards in outsourcing.

The American Management Association has created its own guide for business writing.
Designed as a supplemental text to more thorough style guides such as APA, this guide
covers topics relating specifically to business, such as citing financials, formatting of
company reports, and professional approaches to information integrity in the workplace.
This is an indispensable work for anyone doing professional business writing.

outsourcing in France and Germany. Information & Management, 42 , 533-542.

The authors present an investigation of IT outsourcing based on the combined results of a
survey administered to IT firms as well as statistical measures from domestic and French
or German firms. Their data covers a wide range of IT business unit types. However, the
lack of longitudinal data weakens their conclusion that the slower pace of French and
German IT outsourcing has had a long-term positive effect on business in those countries.
