Download a copy of the Sample Article Review (It is attached)
Using the exact Sample Article Review format, write a review on 3 articles relating to your final research topic. Use the Library database or http://scholar.google.com to find the 3 peer reviewed journal articles relating to your final research topic.
Post your 3 articles to the week 4 Article review discussion (one Peer Reviewed Journal Article review per discussion )
These articles reviews plus the article reviews you did for me in the previous assignment will be used for the final exam which I had already sent to you previously that is due in a few weeks. Attached here is some more information about how to use this info for the final assignment:
Info for final Assignment:
Please note: The articles you select for this assignment must be Peer Reviewed Journal Articles. (* Peer Reviewed Journal Articles contain a study conducted by the authors, and are usually 6 to 15 or more pages in length, with headings matching the headings in the sample article review). If you are unsure about the articles you’ve selected, please contact either the a library representative, or your instructor.
*Industry Magazines, eZines, .coms, blog sites and wall street journal do not classify as peer reviewed journal articles for this assignment.
Students:
As soon as you receive your week 4 Article Review scores from the instructor, begin the process of putting your research paper together. (Visit week 6 research paper link for more details on the content sections for the paper.)
For example, title page, and the reference page for the 6 references you have thus far can be created. Also, the sampling comments and purpose statements for each article can also be put together to begin the process of building the review of literature. Feel free to compare and contrast Findings/Results between authors as you Analyze the material gathered from weeks 2 and 4.
From this point, you will use the material and exercises seen in weeks 5 and 6 to build a problem statement and from it determine the following:
Have you seen a similar problem in your current review of literature? If so, what solutions could you adapt to resolve a similar issue?
Is your problem actually an opportunity to implement something new? If so, are there solutions (or other industry examples) you could adopt as a recommended solution?
Is your problem specific enough to run your own short survey? If so, build a pilot study (survey) using surveymonkey.com and send the survey link to a target audience (like the class, a LinkedIn or Facebook list), giving them 2 – 4 days to complete. Survey monkey populates results that you could first interpret and then incorporate into your final paper and final presentation (Summarization Required).
As the course moves through weeks 5 and 6, students will be exposed to solutions or models for operations management. You may be able to use these models as your recommended solution.
_________________________________________________________________________
Please bear in mind:
It is also the expectation that additional references (beyond the 6 articles) are incorporated in your paper. The article review process is designed to assist students with the development of the journals that are ‘more difficult’ to process, but required for the research paper. Beyond the 6 articles, students may add certain OM modules, or other industry magazine content to their final submission. Student Name
Sample Article Review 1
Reference Information: Scanzoni, John (2001). From the Normal Family to Alternate
Families to the Quest for Diversity With Interdependence, Journal or Family Issues, vol.
22 No. 6, September 2001, 688710.
Purpose of Study: To look at the changes and the diversity of the households from the
late 1960s to present, both from the constructionist and the functionalistic view. And
figuring out which family style works the best to meet both the family and societies
needs.
Sampling Comments: Otto (1970), man can create marriage and family possibilities
uniquely suited to his time, place and situation. Sussman and Cogswell (1972)
adults must live for themselves and not only for their children. The standard family
(nuclear) stifled mutual confidant between mates. Single parenting was viewed as a
temporary condition, which would resolve when the parent remarried, thus it wasnt seen
as a real family.
Measures: The standard family (or nuclear family) was faired to the different variant
families such as single parents, homosexual, multimarriages, and getting pregnant out of
wedlock. Scanzoni reviewed and summarized the functionalist and constructionalist
models and theories starting from post World War II to the present.
Findings/Results/Main Points: Functionalists support the model that views a new
standard family were previous traditional roles are in place while the children are young
in order to promote optimal child development. Scanzonis research found that
developmentalists believe that it is more the lifelong encounters between a childs genetic
makeup, personality and social context and not just the first few years of life. While the
functionalists want to exclude the community, the constructionalists believe that the
community makes the family. Families are produced and created by the actions of
persons operating within the social structure and cultural milieu that surrounds them
(Maines, 2000). They also believe that if the community views a groups as not
mainstream than that group is likely not to succeed.
Conclusion: While one believes that negotiations build a stronger family and community
the other does not believe in negotiation of any type. The citizens that feel the
neostandard model is better state they would have a hard time fairing up. This selfdoubt
along with lack of support may stifle their innovations. Most citizens admit to wanting
the neostandard model for themselves and their children but are willing to accept the
reality of the variant family. Because there is no best family pattern to stray from, there
can be no variants that are invariably judged as lesser. Then and only then have we taken
the first step toward embracing genuine diversity, (Scanzoni 1989). To date there is no
one household model that is flawless but household variety has been found to enrich the
family. Household diversity with interdependence that builds a strong sense of
community has been found to be healthy.
