CLA1-Question.docx

Note:

· All the reference and citation should be APA 7th edition.

· Please use citations in every paragraph and add the reference to that citation at the end.

· Please read and answer according to the template provided.

Discussion Question:

Prior to reading this DQ, please read the CLA1 assignment and understand what the
assignment is asking you to complete. Once you have an understanding of the CLA 1
assignment, please continue to the paragraph below to complete DQ1.
Using the Library Information Resource Network (LIRN), JSTOR, or any other electronic
journal database, research six (6) peer-reviewed articles that can be used to answer your
upcoming CLA 1 assignment. Your discussion should summarize the articles in such a way
that it can justify any arguments you may present in your CLA 1 assignment and should be
different from the abstract. In addition to your researched peer-reviewed article, you must
include an example of the article researched as it is applied by industry (company, business
entity, and so forth).
Please note: This article summary should not be the only article researched for your CLA 1
assignment. You may (and should) have several other articles researched to fully answer your
CLA 1 assignment. The concept of this DQ is to allow students to be proactive in the research
necessary to complete this assignment. You may use your article summary, partially or in its
entirety in your CLA 1 assignment.
Important: Please ensure that your reference for the article is in correct APA format, as your
reference in your discussion post. Depending on which electronic database you use, you
should see a “Cite” selection for your article. In addition, there should be a variety of articles
summarized and as such, students should have different articles summarized. Your summary
MUST include ALL of the following in your DQ post (include every item in the bullet list below,
or you will not receive full credit):
Do these in order:
● In correct APA format, write the Reference of the article.
● Clearly state what the article is about and its purpose.
● Describe how you will use it in your upcoming assignment.
● Repeat for a total of six (6) peer-reviewed sources.

CLA1 Question:

Interviewing is both a science and an art. The ability to ask questions without bias is something
you need to practice. You can find more information on this at the above sites from Week 1.
You might want to pilot your interview with a friend or family member for practice. Make sure
that you have reviewed the videos from week one. This week, you will use the questions you
devised in Week 1 to administer your interview and report the findings.
You will start by answering the following questions:
1. In what industry is the company you are building your case study?
2. At what stage in the industry life cycle is the business?
3. At what stage in the organizational life cycle is the business?
4. How did COVID-19 affect the company at this stage and would it have been different if
the company was at a different stage? (Here, you will use the information you got from
your interview).
After answering these questions, you will continue with your findings from your interview using
the questions from the first week’s Discussion question (DQ 1.1.)
Conclude by summarizing your findings.
Important:
As per the APA manual (7th edition), works that cannot be recovered by readers are cited as
“personal communications.” This includes emails, phone conversations, text messages, social
media messages, and so forth are all examples of personal communication.
Example
Narrative citation: (i.e., direct)
Johns Smith (personal communication, August 1, 2020) noted that…
Parenthetical citation: (i.e., indirect)
… complete (J. Smith, personal communication, August 1, 2020).
This does NOT go in your reference list (Basically, it is the exception to the rule that every
citation must correspond to a reference and every reference must correspond to a citation). It
is only a citation.
Note: You will need at least six (6) peer-reviewed sources.
