Each student is required to review the collected articles and develop a research paper that consists of the following sections:
1. (Section 1) Define and describe the topic using the information provided in the articles and other sources if necessary (try to secure a comprehensive definition of the topic and identify any classifications, typologies and dimensions e.g. mediation of employee conflict is defined as … and has the following types … and the first type is made up of the following dimensions …, second type is made up of … etc.).
2. (Section 2) Identify the key points that the articles are making about the topic and present the information in a series of bulleted statements (suggest that you highlight the key points that the articles are making about mediating employee conflict). If necessary, expand briefly on each point to assist the reader in understanding the point being made.
3. (Section 3) Briefly describe why the topic is important for organizations (what impact will the topic have on our society, organizations, environment etc. - e.g. why is the mediation of employee conflict important for organizations). If no direct information is provided then you need to make thoughtful inferences.
4. (Section 4) Briefly recommend key actions that should be taken with regard to this topic (e.g. how might this practice/activity be executed e.g. how should the mediation of employee conflict be conducted?). Provide some information about the key general steps required to execute this activity, and any other things that support efficient and effective execution. If no direct information is available then you need to make thoughtful inferences.
Paper must be structured using the 4 sections indicated above and must reference all sources on a separate page at the end (use the APA referencing format - http://www.apastyle.org ). The paper should be 3 pages in length (excluding the cover page and reference page), 11/2 line spacing, 12 point Arial or Verdana font, normal margins (typically 1 inch all around), cover page with topic title, course name, instructor name and student name and number.
