A)
- The articles you select must be from peer-reviewed resources and must have been published within the past 5 years. If your topic is so recent that peer-reviewed literature has yet to be produced, search the business or learned press and professional literature.
- You are expected to substantiate your critical analysis with citations from the articles you selected.
- Note that—at the Doctoral level—you are expected to critically review and synthesize research rather than just stating your personal opinion.

- Explain

- The implications for management
- Their relationship to social change
