Assignment:
Research and select an article on government trade and agreement from the NCU Library. Your selection should be recent - within the past five years. Your selected article must be from a peer reviewed journal with empirical research data containing hypotheses, statistical findings, and relevant international marketing content. If one article will not be effective, consider adding a second article. Follow the format below to complete your paper in which you review and analyze your article(s):
• Title
• Author(s)/Presenter(s)
• Problem(s) and Research Question(s)
• Theoretical Framework
• Methodology: Research design, instrumentation, variable operationalization, hypotheses, and data analysis
• Findings
• Implications/Discussion
• Future Research Streams
As you complete each section of your paper, keep the following in mind to fully support your analysis:
• STRUCTURE: Theoretical concepts are properly defined and integrated to form a logical, valid network.
• SPECIFICATION: Relationships among the theoretical concepts must be specified in a manner to clearly delimit hypotheses.
• TESTABILITY: Extent to which study variables can be operationally defined and measured.
• EMPIRICAL SUPPORT: Degree of confirming evidence that has been gathered to support the theory's hypotheses.
• RICHNESS: How comprehensive and generalizable is the theory?
• SIMPLICITY: Can the theory be easily explained to others and can others readily implement the theory's recommendations?
Support your paper with minimum of one peer reviewed article. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 3-5 pages not including title and reference pages
Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.
