Each of you should select an essay topic self-interested in from the list below. The essay report should have a minimum of 1,500 words and a maximum of 2,000, a title page, and references, all in APA style. You should review, and cite (APA), at least five peer-reviewed articles in your essay, making sure to fully include all cited articles in your references. Steps to follow for this assignment:
STEP 1: Select an international business-related topic from the table below (keywords/topics) for your essay – Let us assume your topic selection is “resource-based theory.”
STEP 2: Search and select FIVE peer-reviewed research articles from ResearchGate (http://researchgate.net), or Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com). Each article must meet the following three conditions:
Top-level: “peer-reviewed journals”
Resource type: “articles”
Publication date: “desirably after 2017”
STEP 3: Read and synthesize the information from the articles you have selected. You should review these articles and synthesize the information from them to support your novel essay.
STEP 4: Proofread the manuscript and make appropriate references. On the last page, please make sure the five articles cited in the text are also listed in the reference section and complying with the APA style guide.
