***Attached are the Topic and Annotated Bibliography Assignments***
Research Paper Assignment Instructions
Overview
You will
write a Research Paper on a topic relating to business ethics. You will
research what is being said in the academic literature about the issue and what
the secular worldview suggests is relevant in the contemporary business
environment. You will then research the Bible for information related to the
topic and identify what a Christian or follower of God should consider
important related to the topic under consideration. Compare and contrast what
agrees between Scripture and the secular thoughts and what may differ between
the two.
Your Research
Paper Assignment must be 8–10 pages and double spaced, not including the
title page, abstract, and references pages. You must include 8–10 scholarly
references in addition to the course textbooks and the Bible. You must use your
textbooks as sources; other acceptable sources are journal articles from
peer-reviewed journals, theoretical texts, and the Bible. Citations must be in
current APA format. As this is a Research Paper, it must be written in third
person.
