Step 1: Using OneSearch in the UMGC online library, conduct a search for at least 3 scholarly articles that address how organizations can respond to unplanned change (whether internal or external). The articles need to be current published within the past five years.
Article selection should consider management skills and practices, external/economic impacts to organizations, internal/structure impacts to organizations, and/or management skills needed in a changing environment.
Articles should focus on current research in management studies; less than 5 years since publication.
Step 2: Create an annotated bibliography for each article.
Guidance on writing an annotated bibliography can be found here. The articles should be summarized in 2-3 paragraphs as the format suggests.
Step 3: Then aggregately analyze and explain the articles for the way in which they influence the organization. This section should comprise 2 paragraphs using course readings and research to support how external/economic factors impact organizations, internal/structure impacts to organizations, and/or management skills needed in a changing environment.
Step 4: Conclude the paper with a two to three-paragraph examination of the selected articles and their impact on managing effectively. Be sure to clearly explain your reasoning for the selection and provide supporting examples and rationale from class readings related to the modern organization.
