Article Summary Discussion Instructions
There are 3 article summaries due during the semester. They are due as noted on the schedule in the class syllabus. These are group assignments- the same group doing the final case study/project at the end of the semester.
Per the instructions below your group will turn in a physical copy of the summary which will consist of a Title Page, one page article summary and a copy of the article stapled together. .
The article will be your selection from the Wall Street Journal that catches your interest. You will NOT use an article called out in the syllabus- you will receive a zero if you do.
Article should be concerning strategy, operations, supply chain operations etc. Your summary will consist of the following:
Title Page: You will put class, class day and time, group names in alphabetical order, article assignment number, date, and article Title on title page. Rest of page is blank so I can put grade and comments on the page.
Article Summary page. Summarize the article in a paragraph or two. Make sure you have covered the main points of the article. You need to be clear, concise and organized.
Takeaway or lessons learned. Summarize what you have learned from the article-a takeaway for the future, lesson learned etc. Show me or prove to me you are thinking about what the article is about and how you can use the information in the article. Show me how the article relates to a topic or idea from the class.
• Note: Organize the page into two sections via using a section title in the page. We will discuss in class.
• Highly recommend two editing ideas:
a. Read the assignment aloud-good trick I learned at KPMG
b. Have someone else read the summary and give you comments-again KPMG this was mandatory for anyone going to the customer
c. 1.5 pages max.
