OVERVIEW OF
THEORY IN BUSINESS RESEARCH

The
background material for this module introduced you to some journals where
scholars and practitioners share their insights. For this assignment we will
test our ability to understand and differentiate between scholarly and
practitioner journals.

Examples of
scholarly/academic journals would be the Academy of Management Journal,
Management Science, and Academy of Management Review.

Examples of
a practitioner journals would be Academy of Management Perspectives, Sloan
Management Review, and Harvard Business Review.

You are
expected to know how to use both types of materials as references for your
future efforts. This initial learning task should be the beginning of an effort
to increase your ability to search for information sources for whatever topics
you are pursuing toward your doctoral research.

In this assignment
you are expected to:

Discuss 5
best practices for conducting a literature review.

Find two
theoretical studies as well as two applied research studies related to your
area of research interest and include an annotated bibliography of these
articles in APA style
(http://writingcenter.unc.edu/tips-and-tools/annotated-bibliographies/).

Discuss how
you might use both as part of background material.
