Please utilize current articles as they will allow you to most directly apply your knowledge to what is happening outside the classroom in the “here and now”. Select and read a current article on entrepreneurship and/or small business management from any number of business periodicals, to include Business Week, Fortune, The Economist, Newsweek or from a newspaper, such as The Wall Street Journal, the business section of the Washington Post or Baltimore Sun. An article can also be selected from a reputable news source on the Internet, such as CNN.com.Include a copy of the article with your written report or a URL to the article on the Internet.Following an introductory paragraph introducing the article and its main theme, provide a brief and concise summation of the article. The summation will be an outline of the major issues presented. Depending on your article, the summation should be between 2-3 paragraphs in length.Next, perform an analysis of how the business topics presented in the article relates to class discussions and/or topics covered in your textbook. Your ability to analyze and synthesize the information presented in the article is critical. Without a well done analysis, you cannot earn higher than a “C” grade.

This article assisted in expanding upon the role of the entrepreneur in society as presented in Chapter 5 of the text as well as outlined various forms of business ownership as was discussed in class and in Chapter 4. It also explored the various economic systems in the world today as illustrated in Chapter 1 in our discussion of economics.”You would then go on to explain in more detail the various points discussed in the article and how each specifically relates to material from the course.Following the introduction, summary, and analysis sections, prepare a conclusion to your report where you state your opinion about the major issues or concepts presented. Explain why you have the opinion that you do and provide any alternatives or counter-arguments to your beliefs. For example, do you think it is a good idea for China to promote entrepreneurship? What are your views and what might someone who believes differently argue? Do you believe China is better able to compete in the global marketplace as a capitalist-based system or as a communist society? Etc.Just like with your analysis section, your ability to support your opinion with relevant facts and thoughtfully considered counter-arguments is critical to earning a ‘high’ grade. Your conclusion should be 1-2 paragraphs in length.Remember to provide an appropriate bibliographical reference for the article.
