  • “Exploring the Levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy in Relation to Servant Leadership: An Annotated Bibliography and Analysis of Scholarly Articles”

    Scholarly writing
    demands the author be purposeful, clear, concise, formal, and objective
    (without bias).  This type of work also
    requires the author to consider the cognitive level of the article under
    evaluation.  Bloom’s Taxonomy is a
    well-known and respected structure that is useful for this purpose.
    For this exercise,
    you will write a 900 word paper, using proper APA format, that clearly
    discusses three (3) of the six (6) levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy as it relates to
    Servant Leadership (SL).  As an example,
    does the article demonstrate drawing connections among ideas?  This would correspond to the analyze
    level.  Using the JFL, locate and
    document at least three (3) scholarly articles, one for each level of Bloom’s
    Taxonomy used.  Prepare a standard APA
    reference page.
    As part of this
    project, prepare an annotated bibliography. 
    The bibliography will be structured as follows: APA formatted reference
    (minimum 250 words per reference) followed by summary of key points, evaluation
    of the quality of the publication, evaluation of the quality of the author(s),
    where this fits into the assignment, and the library database in which you
    found the article.  A traditional APA
    reference page and the annotated bibliography will be turned in with the
    associated paper.

    Literature Review Assignment
    Instructions (2 Part Assignment; Outline Due June 9th, Literature Review Due June 28th)
    Literature
    Review: Outline Assignment  (DUE JUNE 9th)
    Overview
    A critical skill
    at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by
    clearly articulated research questions
    that address a specific issue or problem.
    For this literature review, your research
    will be guided by the following three Research
    Questions:
    1.     
    How
    do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
    2.     
    What
    are the latest developments in the process of strategy development and
    execution?
    3.     
    How
    can my academic discipline, Information Systems (see note below), as a function within
    the organization, influence the process of business strategy development and
    execution?
    The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question gives you
    the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific
    cognate in the
    Doctoral Program.
    Note: The third
    research question deals with your Cognate (Information Systems) as a function
    that is performed in a business. This is not exploring your degree program, the
    courses you have taken, or higher education in any way. You will replace the
    words ‘my academic discipline’ in Research Question 3 with your actual academic
    discipline. Examples of academic disciplines include Finance,
    Marketing, Accounting, Information Systems, International Business Management.
    The purpose of
    this research project is for you to create a scholarly piece of graduate level
    research and writing which conforms to current APA format.
    For this initial
    assignment, you will be developing the outline for your literature review. Use
    the Research Questions as provided in the instructions above. Your outline will
    include a minimum of one level of indentation below each Research Question with
    not less than two sub‐headings not
    including the Summary. Following each
    sub-heading you will provide a one to two sentence description of what you will
    cover in that section of the literature review. Do not provide any narrative
    beyond what is being requested and be sure to include citations for any factual
    assertions you make in your descriptions. The sources documents for all
    citations provided must be included in the Reference section. Your headings must be descriptive to allow a reader to understand
    what is included each section and subsection. You can include more than two
    subheadings for each Research Question and additional levels of indentation if
    required for your discussion. In the final module you will be submitting your
    completed literature review.
    Use the format
    below:
    Introduction
    Level 1 ‐ RQ1
    Level
    2 ‐ Sub heading 1
    Level 2 – Sub heading 2
    Summary

    Review: Final Assignment (DUE JUNE 28th)
    Overview
    A critical skill
    at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by
    clearly articulated research questions
    that address a specific issue or problem.
    It is important that you include and address the research questions provided. Changing
    the research question changes the focus of the study, and the resulting
    document will not meet the requirements for the literature review. For this literature review,
    your research will be guided by the following three research questions:
    1.     
    How
    do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
    2.     
    What
    are the latest developments in the process of strategy development and
    execution?
    3.     
    How
    can my academic discipline, Information Systems (see note below), as a function within
    the organization, influence the process of business strategy development and
    execution?
    The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question gives you
    the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific
    cognate in the
    Doctoral Program.
    Note: The third
    research question deals with your Cognate (Information Systems) as a function
    that is performed in a business. This is not exploring your degree program, the
    courses you have taken, or higher education in any way. You will replace the
    words ‘my academic discipline’ in Research Question 3 with your actual academic
    discipline from your program. Examples of academic disciplines include Finance,
    Marketing, Accounting, Information Systems, International Business Management.
    What are we looking for in this literature
    review?
    A literature
    review discusses published information in a particular subject area and
    sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time
    period. This literature review will be more than just a simple summary of
    information from various sources as it will include an organizational pattern
    that combines both a summary and synthesis of information. Please keep in mind
    that a summary is a re‐encapsulation of the important information found in the
    source, while a synthesis is a re‐organization and combining of that information to present a more complete
    picture. Finally, the literature review will evaluate the sources and
    advise the reader of the most pertinent or relevant points.
    How will this
    literature review be evaluated?
    Your work will be
    evaluated in the areas listed below. Be sure to review the grading rubric to
    ensure that you have addressed all areas that will be evaluated. If you are
    uncertain or have questions reach out to your professor right away for
    clarification.

    Important note
    regarding required page count: Assignments must meet the minimum page
    count indicated in the instructions. Documents that are short of the required page
    count as well as documents that address a different subject matter than
    assigned in the instructions by altering the research questions will have the
    Content area scores reduced as described below.
    For documents that
    fail to meet the content word/page count called for in the instructions, the
    professor will multiply the score in each Content area by the percentage actualy
    provided. Example:
    ·        
    The
    instructions call for 10 pages of content and the student provides 5 pages of
    content.
    ·        
    Content
    score for Academic Level of Information is determined to be 16 out of 20.
    ·        
    That
    Content score is multiplied by 0.5 for a final Content score of 8 out of 20 for
    Academic Level of Information. This is done for each Content area in the
    rubric.
    ·        
    The
    professor will provide an explanation in the Comments section of the rubric.
    Are there differences between plagiarism,
    paraphrasing, and quoting?
    Paraphrasing is
    when you take a source or someone else’s idea and say it in your own words or
    even combine the ideas of several
    authors as well as your own. When you paraphrase, you will still give the author credit through the use of an in‐text
    citation connected to the idea as well as a reference at the
    end of the paper.
    A direct quote from a source has quotation marks
    around the quote. If 40 words or more in
    length, it must be set in block quotation format.
    You can refer to the APA guide
    for more information on this.
    At the graduate level, you should be relying almost exclusively on the use of paraphrasing to
    allow synthesis of the original author’s views with your own. A direct
    quotation should only be used in this literature review (or most other
    documents you will produce) when paraphrasing would change the author’s
    intended meaning. In other words, you should only use a quotation when it is
    the only way to convey what the author intended to convey.
    Plagiarism on the
    other hand exists when the writer simply copies the words directly from the
    source without giving credit with an in‐text citation and a reference.
    Plagiarism is not permitted and the paper will not be accepted for grading.
