7:09 I nexus.uwinnipeg.ca INTRODUCTION This assessment is worth 20% of your final grade in BUS 1201. You should seek additional advice and guidance from your course Instructor if anything in this document is not clear, or if you wish to simply discuss the assessment further. Note that this is an individual assessment and is thus not to be completed in groups. WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO DO For this assessment, you are being asked to summarise an article from either the popular press (e.g., a newspaper or magazine article) or an academic journal article and draw connections to at least three business concepts from the course. The learning goals for this assessment are as follows: 1. Gain experience in summarising short articles, including identifying pertinent information. 2. Practice associating relevant course concepts with “real life” situations. 3. Compose a written document that has a consistent and logical flow. To begin, you will first select one (1) article from a choice of articles that your Instructor will make available to you? The flow chart below illustrates the sequential steps that you should follow as your write your Analysis: 1 Note that some instructors may not give you a choice, but instead mandate a single article to be analysed for this assignment. 2 1 INTRODUCE AND SUMMARISE An overview of the article’s topic and central theme. Aim for 150 to 200 words. LINK AND EXPLAIN 1 Link and explain at least three (3) relevant business concepts as discussed in the course. CONCLUDE 1 Present a summary of what you have written, including a recap of the three (3) concepts. Aim for 100 words. ] + 2 16 7:10 7 I nexus.uwinnipeg.ca INTRODUCE AND SUMMARISE An overview of the article’s topic and central theme. Aim for 150 to 200 words. LINK AND EXPLAIN Link and explain at least three (3) relevant business concepts as discussed in the course. CONCLUDE Present a summary of what you have written, including a recap of the three (3) concepts. Aim for 100 words. As you might expect, the most critical part of your Article Analysis is Step 2 (“LINK AND EXPLAIN”). It is here where you will be expected to to explain how at least three business concepts from the course (selected by you) relate to the article you have selected. It is not enough to simply state that, for example, an article on the Eurozone crisis is about monetary policy. Rather, you must explain what monetary policy is and how it relates to the subject matter of the article. Put another way, show us what you have learned. Note that you are free to use concepts from the textbook even if these have not yet been covered in class. REQUIREMENTS 1. Your Article Analysis must be no more than 1300 words. 2. You must use headings when discussing each of the three issues (e.g., “Issue 1. Oligopolistic competition in relation to Magna International.”). 3. You must include a single title page that contains your name, student number, the title of the article you are reviewing, the course code (BUS 1201), the section number (e.g., 011, 006, etc.), the name of your instructor and the date you submitted. Your title page should therefore look something like this: 3 TITLE OF ARTICLE YOU ARE REVIEWING John P.

Student Student Number: 0008712 BUS 1201 – 011 INSTRUCTOR: Dr Albert Einstein SUBMITTED: 25 March 2025 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Write in the third person. 2. Write in the present tense. 3. Do not write an abstract or executive summary — neither is necessary for this assessment. 4. The choice of font, margins and justification is yours. We recommend 1.5cm document margins, a nice professional font such as Times New Roman or Verdana (this document’s font), and either left or full justification. REFERENCES AND REFERENCING 1. To complete this assessment, you ONLY NEED TWO SOURCES: the textbook and your lecture notes. 2. External sources (i.e., references other than your text or the lectures) are NOT recommended for this assessment. The use of external sources will NOT improve your chances for a higher grade. 3. If you find that you must use external sources, you should first discuss this with your Instructor. They can discuss with you and, if appropriate, direct you to examples of how to reference a specific source you are considering. 4. Do not pull long quotes from the textbook or the article. This assessment is designed to be written in your own words and should not be filled with multiple, long quotes from the textbook. Doing this gets in the way of your Instructor assessing your ability to write and discuss and could very well 4 result in a lower grade. Note also the penalties for plagiarism, which should be included in your course outline. 5. In some cases, as you write you may want to reference a specific phrase or word in the textbook. If so, you must reference it the body of your assessment as “BUS 1201 Custom Text XXXX:YY”, where “XXXX” is the year in which your course is being run and “YY” is the page number. 6. If you reference your lecture notes, using “BUS 1201 Lecture” in the body of your assignment will be sufficient. 7. You will not need to provide a reference list, if only because your two sources will either be the textbook or the lecture notes.
