Discuss your selected Key ‘Globalization and Culture’ term. You should explain why you are interested in the term, an explanation of the term, a summary of the germane current literature, and specifically how this relates to Globalization and Culture.
As you read the chapters assigned to each week, you will find some concepts more interesting and applicable to your personal or work situation than others. Review the key terms listed in the assigned chapters; then, choose a key term that you wish to write on for your thread.
Thread (600 words minimum)
After you have successfully chosen the key term that interests you the most, research a minimum of 5 recent international business/management articles that relate to the concept on which you wish to focus your research. Articles must be found in reputable professional and/or scholarly journals and/or business/trade journals that deal with the content of the course (i.e., not blogs, Wikipedia, newspapers, etc.). After reading the articles, select the 1 article that you wish to discuss.
1. Key Term and Why You Are Interested in It (100 words minimum)

simply a phrase.
2. Explanation of the Key Term (100 words minimum)

4. Discussion
In your own words, discuss each of the following points:
a. How the cited work relates to your above explanation AND how it relates
specifically to the content of the assigned module. This part of your thread
provides evidence that you have extended your understanding of this key term
beyond the textbook readings. (100 words minimum)
b. How the cited work relates to the other 4 works you researched. This part of your
thread provides evidence that you have refined your research key term to a
coherent and specialized aspect of the key term, rather than a random selection of
works on the key term. The idea here is to prove that you have focused your
research and that all works cited are related in some manner to each other rather
than simply a collection of the first 5 results from your Internet search. (100
words minimum)

A minimum of 3 recent articles (as described above), in current APA format, must be
included and must contain persistent links so others may have instant access.
