BUSI 416
Discussion Board Instructions
You will participate in four Discussion Board forums. Each forum will consist of a thread and at least (minimum) two replies. Each forum is based on a chapter topic. Outside research will be required for the initial thread. The instructor is looking for substantial, thoughtful, and critical discussions. Discussion criteria for this assignment is fulfilled when you have posted one thread (concerning your topic) and two replies (one each to two classmates’ threads). A substantive reply includes at least 100 words analyzing the initial thread as well as adding to the research and concepts put forth in that thread.
The goal is to create meaningful discussion. To simply restate the idea already put forth or to concur with the first reply is not adding substantial discussion, which is why it is necessary to do additional outside research. Make sure to provide scholarly and educational material and work that is engaging and substantive. Simply meeting the minimum requirements earns one only the minimum grade.
To begin your thread for a particular module, find a topic from the week’s reading assignment that interests you.
Conduct an Internet search to find a recent articles that relates to the topic you selected. Articles may be found on any reputable website that focuses on business, such as Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, or the Economist.

Write a review of the article. Reference the article you review within the article review. Your review must include the following sections (each section must be structured by a heading for each section):
a. A definition of the topic: this does not count in the 200-word minimum requirement.
b. A summary, in your own words, of the selected article.
c. A discussion, in your own words, of how the article relates to the selected chapter and topic.
d. The complete citation, in APA format.
