Case Assignment

For each Case question below, select three articles (published within the past five years), each from different peer-reviewed academic journals/magazines. [Utilize peer-reviewed academic journal/magazine publications you find through the Trident Online Library.] Find articles that specifically address the following questions regarding the impact of downsizing on the organization and its employees:

Questions to address in your paragraphs include:

  1. The main concept of this article is….
  2. The article is important and adds to the current research literature on the concept because…
  3. The article is valid for research on this topic because…
  4. An area that will continue to add to the researchers’ work is…
  5.  I found the ______________ section of this article to be extremely interesting and would recommend this article to others researching in the HR/OB disciplines.

No reference page is needed for this assignment because the references are a part of the Bibliography. Please read the Grading Rubric for Information Literacy before submitting your paper. Submit the assignment by inserting it into the appropriate drop box by the due date and time.
