Article Review: Who Issues Bonds?
The format for writing the Article Review is discussed below.
Your reference sources are limited to the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Barron’s, Investors’ Business Daily, The Economist, or an academic journal article from a respected finance journal. To complete the Article Review, you should research the assigned topic to provide a measure of information about the topic’s significance to the current business climate regarding financial management. A minimum of 2 reference sources other than the textbook is required for editorial balance. In order to be considered for the full 50 points, each Article Review should contain a minimum of 500 words and be submitted in APA format including an APA cover page.
The Article Review layout is simple and consists the body of the review containing three sections with the following headings:
1. Overview/Summary
2. Opinion/Analysis
3. Relevance to Financial Management.
The first section should identify the article being reviewed by name and author and contain a brief, executive style Overview/Summary and a statement of the author’s hypothesis or proposition. The Opinion/Analysis section should demonstrate your critical thinking and analysis of the subject matter. The Relevance to Financial Management section should offer an insight-building summary, recommendations, findings and conclusions. The majority of the Article Review content should be in the Opinion/Analysis and Relevance to Financial Management sections.
