Begin with an introductory paragraph or two to explain the focus of your critical analysis and why the topic is important and relevant to your interests and/or professional development.

Each critical summary should include:

1. Level 1 Heading comprised of Authors’ last names and year.

2. Introduction.

– Describe the authors’ research question(s) and/or purpose(s). What problem are they trying to solve? What important question are they trying to answer?

3. Methods.

– Describe the units of study, sampling procedures, and sample. Describe the design and/or procedures of the study. Describe the data, data collection, and data analysis strategies.

4. Results of Data Analysis.

– Summarize the results of the analysis. Present the actual results of the analysis here, rather than any interpretations. Be mindful of any efforts to use statistical significance as an indicator of importance or credibility of findings. Be careful to identify any claims made by the author(s) that are not directly supported by the outcomes of the analysis.

5. Conclusions/Interpretations.

– Summarize what you concluded from the results. This should be based on your interpretation of the results. Use a critical lens: is there a difference between the interpretations of the author(s) and what you interpreted?

– Actively evaluate the credibility/adequacy of any conclusions made by the authors (e.g. any biases? misinterpretations?) when you present your own. For quantitative results, refer back to previously assigned materials (from this course and others) as applicable. Focus on, summarize, and make conclusions based on the actual magnitude of the main results of the data analysis. For qualitative results, pay attention to what the authors present as evidence and the generalizations they may make.

– The most important issue is the degree to which the final conclusions of a study are considered to be credible and/or trustworthy and are usable and practical. What is your “take away” from the study? How can it guide practice or policy? The last paragraph of your summary should explain how the findings of the article may or may not contribute to your intended goals or practice.

A public corporation of 980 employees manufactures a popular brand of garments (mostly jeans) that are primarily made and sold in America nation-wide.

It has a large contingent of employees in several small rural communities in the Eastern US and is the primary employer in all of those communities.

Two of its 5 shops are unionized, but the union and management have a good working relationship. The company has traditionally marketed its clothing line as “Made in the USA” and attracted a bit of a “cult like” following as a result, but an outside consulting firm has suggested that significantly greater profits are possible if a different strategy is employed.

The corporation is subsequently considering whether to off-shore its manufacturing facilities to a poor nation to save money on labor. It would also discretely discontinue its “Made in the USA” marketing ads and hopefully ride the wave of its previous marketing campaigns for a while.

It is estimated that total cost per unit of production will be decreased by one third which equates to tens of millions of dollars.

Provide a paragraph summarizing the concept of stakeholder management based on your readings.
How do you think the following stakeholder groups in the above scenario will be impacted?
What would you recommend the employer described above should do?
