The concept that I would like to further research is Creating the Project Vision Statement..

INSTRUCTIONS:
After you have successfully reserved the concept that interests you the most, research at least five (5) recent scholarly articles that relate to the concept on which you wish to focus your research. Articles may be found in reputable professional and scholarly journals that deal with the content of our course. Popular general reading magazines and online sources such as Wikipedia are not permissible.
 After reading the articles, select the one article that you wish to discuss. 
Your posting must adhere precisely to the following headings and format:
 Key Concept and Why You Are Interested In It
After reading the textbook, specifically state why you are interested in conducting further research on this topic, i.e., academic curiosity, application to a current issue related to employment, or any other professional rationale. Please be sure to include a substantive reason, not simply a phrase.
 
Explanation of the Key Concept
This is a clear and concise overview of the essentials relevant to understanding this key concept.
 
Major Article Summary
Using your own words, provide a clear and concise summary of the article, including the major points and conclusions.
 
Discussion (In your own words, discuss each of the following points)
How the cited work relates to your above explanation AND how it relates specifically to the content of this module.  This part of your DB provides evidence that you have extended your understanding of this topic beyond the textbook readings.
How the cited work relates to the other 4 works you researched. This part of your DB provides evidence that you have refined your research topic to a coherent and specialized aspect of the topic, rather than a random selection of works on the topic. The idea here is to prove you have focused your research and that all works cited are related in some manner to each other – rather than simply a collection of the first 5 results from your Internet search.
Annotated References
A minimum of 5 scholarly business references (not textbooks, Wikipedia,or other popular reading magazines), in APA format, and must contain persistent links so others may have instant access. In the event formatting is lost or corrupted when posting the DB, be sure to attach the Word document to your posting, as evidence your work was completed in the proper format.
