Q Project 3: Culture, Climate, and Ethical Decisions Step 4: Create an Annotated Resource List Create an Annotated Bibliography. An Annotated Bibliography is a list of annotated resources. For this step in the project, your Annotated Bibliography will consist of five annotated resources. You will create an annotated resource list of five key articles or sources dealing with culture, climate, and ethics. These five resources may be used in your memo and presentation. Annotating a resource means that the APA cited resource includes an explanatory notation about the resource and a brief critical analysis of its relevance to your topic. Three of the five annotated resources must come from the course readings provided to you for this project. A project’s resources include all the course materials made available to you, including the links found in Learning Topics, for example, to the detailed sources of information used for further research or as supporting documentation for ideas that appear in a Learning Topic. Students are required to integrate course readings and other materials provided to them into their Project 3 analysis of a specific organization’s culture, climate, and ethics. The other two annotated resources are generated through your independent research, as it pertains to your specific organization’s culture, climate and ethics (e.g., employee surveys, relevant history, legal compliance, recent scandals, ethical concerns, training practices, pay practices, benefit packages, organization priorities, diversity considerations, advancement opportunities, and so forth). Consult creating an annotated bibliography for a more detailed discussion of selecting and annotating resources. An example annotated resource is provided to view. One of the five annotated references should deal with the impact of employment laws on organizational culture, climate, and ethics. Keep in mind that the quality of the resources matters in determining the quality of the memo and the quality of the presentation. A well-researched study or article by an acknowledged authority published in a peer-reviewed academic journal is considered primary research. The use of primary research is preferred over using an interpretation of the same academic content that is published in a newspaper column or summarized in a magazine, trade journal, or internet source—even where such secondary sources contain quotes from the original author's work or attribute their interpretation to that material. When you have completed Step 4, follow the instructions in Step 5 to submit your annotated resources list to the Assignments folder for review and feedback. The annotated resource list is considered with the other graded deliverables in determining the overall grade for Project 3. Then proceed to Step 5 to present your final narrated presentation and final memo.
