Article Critique 01

Article Critique 01
Requirements:
For this assignment, choose a peer-reviewed/scholarly article on population sampling to

review. This article should be on a topic of interest to you and is one that includes a sample
from a clearly distinguished population (such as a voting group, a population of
professionals, or employees in a large corporation). Use the databases within the Online
Library or another source that contains peer-reviewed/scholarly articles.
The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice reviewing articles that contribute to the
industry. The authors of these articles are researchers and professionals that have shared or
experimented with ideas that demonstrate potential to improve the industry. As a professional
in the industry, it is in your best interest to review the literature and trends within it. Doing so
provides you with the opportunity to read about what has been successful and how. Plus, it
allows you to analyze the ideas that were unsuccessful, how you can improve them, or at least
avoid repeating the mistakes of others. Use these skills to contribute to research papers and
other scholarly writing in the future.
As you read the articles, consider the following questions: (1) How could the topic of this
article apply to your personal or professional life? (2) How could it apply to an organization
you have observed? And (3) What lesson will you learn from this article?
Use these guidelines to select articles:
 Be published in high ranking international journals

 Should not be not more than two years old
 Be peer reviewed
 Relate to business strategy research that includes a sample from a clearly
distinguished population (such as a voting group, a population of professionals, or
employees in a large corporation).
 Be at least ten pages in length.
 Key topics of the first “article critique” should be:
o Business Strategy
o Differentiation strategy
o Cost leadership strategy
o Integration/Blue Ocean Strategy
Use these guidelines to prepare each of your article reviews:
 At least two pages in length

 Identify the main topic/question
 Give a brief summary of the research and the findings, and discuss the sampling
strategy that was used.
 Think critically about the article and how it applies to this course
Report Presentation:
Format your article review using APA Style. Use your own words and include citations for
other articles as needed to avoid plagiarism.
Please include the following topics in your critique of the selected article:
1. A brief introduction of the article.

2. A statement of the research problem.
3. A description of research procedures.
4. Flaws in the procedural design (if any).
5. Analysis of the data (if any).
6. Critical Evaluation/Critique
7. Limited and justifiable conclusions.
8. References

1. A fully typed up professionally presented report document. Use 12-point Arial or

Times New Roman script.
