From the library home page enter your search terms in the OneSearch box and put a checkmark at Scholarly Journals only. Find an article the focuses on external factors that impact organizations such as technology, sociocultural, economic forces, government, natural & human factors, in your chosen field (health care, project management, human resources, etc.).

In the initial post write a 2-3 paragraph summary of the selected article focusing on the way management is unique for the field. 3. DO NOT PROVIDE THE TITLE, Cite, Author or link. Merely create a heading that describes the subject area, for example Not for Profit Management. 4. Choose 3-4 other posts and using your library skills to find the article and link for the students' posts. 5. In addition to the link you have identified and referenced compare the skills mentioned in the post review and compare them with your own article. 6. Extend the conversation by working with the class to create a list of common management skills for today and how they would differ from some of the early theorists. 7. Include the list and your explanation in your final discussion post. Participate in Session 1-2 Discussions; initial post due during Session 1 with followup and replies during Session 2.
