CURRENT EVENTS ASSIGNMENT (5 pages)
1. What is the issue being raised in the article(s)?
2. What key concepts from your major or another discipline are influencing your assertion that this is an issue?
Be sure and define the concept that you are applying. What assumptions underlie these concepts and how do
they apply in this case?
3. What evidence (e.g., data, information, etc.) is presented in the article to support that this is indeed an issue?
What evidence can you provide to clarify, refute or support the issue? If your evidence is based on a theoretical
prediction (using proven theory), identify the theory and the most likely outcome.
4. What is your assessment of what will happen to the firm based on the issue presented in the article?
5. Based on the issue that you have identified and the concepts and evidence you have presented make a
recommendation to address the issue. Briefly explain how your recommendation addresses the issue and why
your recommendation makes sense. What are the potential positive and negative implications of your
recommendation?
6. Is this newsworthy? If so why? If not, why not
