First and foremost, an independent article report (IAR) is not a book report. As such, students should avoid providing a simple summary of their selected article. Providing a simple summary of the article will result in a “0” grade for the assignment. Each IAR should be prepared with standard word processing software (e.g., Microsoft Word, Apache Open Office, Corel WordPerfect, Google Docs) and adhere to standard APA formatting guidelines as described below. A clear and concise, yet potent writing style will be necessary to score well on the IARs. Approximately one page of each IAR should provide some background on the article with the remaining four pages emphasizing the student’s analysis of the article. Each IAR should be presented in APA format including an APA-formatted cover page (you do not need to include an abstract page) and the full five-page report itself. The sixth or seventh edition of the APA Style Guide is acceptable for this assignment. In addition, students must include a References page indicating the citation for the chosen article and any other sources referenced in the paper. As per approved APA guidelines, the IAR should be written in a sans serif font or a serif font including 12-point Times New Roman or 11-point Calibri, 11-point Arial, or 10-point Lucida Sans Unicode. In addition, APA guidelines require a one-inch margins on all sides of each page. IARs must be double-spaced and, as per APA guidelines, no additional spacing is permitted before or after any paragraph lines. When a student’s IAR is due, the report must be submitted via eCampus. Late reports will be subject to grade reductions for each day, week, or partial week that the report is overdue. When students are preparing their IARs, the following points should guide their thoughts: 1. What is the theme of the article from your point of view? 2. How does this article relate to business ethics? 3. Which of the four ethical theories discussed in class in Unit 1 is found within the article? a. Students should reference theories from the class lectures and eCampus readings in this section. 4. What is your personal reaction to the article? 5. What would you have done if you were in a management or leadership position in the situation presented in the article? In applying these guiding questions, students may consider breaking their IARs into the following headings: • Theme of the Article • Relationship to Business Ethics • The Theories of Business Ethics Mentioned • Reaction to the Article’s Content • How I Would Address the IssueArticles to choose from:Evergrande Gave Workers a Choice: Loan Us Cash or Lose Your Bonushttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/19/business/china-evergrande-debt-protests.htmlTim Cook Faces Surprising Employee Unrest at Applehttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/technology/apple-employee-unrest.htmlTheranos whistle-blower concludes her testimony in trial of Elizabeth Holmes.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/technology/theranos-whistle-blower-erika-cheung-elizabeth-holmes.htmlEx-Employer of GameStop Trader ‘Roaring Kitty’ Fined for Lack of Oversighthttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/16/business/roaring-kitty-gamestop-massmutual-settlement.htmlBiology Starts to Get a Technological Makeoverhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/16/technology/synthetic-biology.htmlWhy digital retail darlings Warby Parker and Allbirds are betting big on stores to grow ahead of public debutshttps://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/17/why-digital-warby-parker-allbirds-are-betting-on-stores-before-public-debuts.htmlTwitch streamers participate in #ADayOffTwitch boycott to protest rise of 'hate raids'https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2021/09/01/twitch-why-streamers-boycotting-platform/5680827001/Would-Be NFT Millionaires Throw a Dart and Usually Hit a Dudhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-18/would-be-nft-millionaires-throw-a-dart-and-usually-hit-a-dudWhat the Solana Blackout Reveals About the Fragility of Cryptohttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-18/solana-trading-how-outage-reveals-vulnerability-of-crypto-blockchainsChess legend sues Netflix for $5M over ‘Queen’s Gambit’ portrayalhttps://www.foxbusiness.com/media/chess-legend-sues-netflix-queens-gambitAmazon faces Teamsters union drive at nine Canadian siteshttps://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/amazon-faces-teamsters-union-drive-at-nine-canadian-sitesN.J.’s weed commission will miss deadline to start accepting new business applicationshttps://www.nj.com/marijuana/2021/09/njs-weed-commission-will-miss-deadline-to-start-accepting-new-business-applications.html
