Article Reports: Each student is responsible for writing 2 article reports. Each report is
required to be one page typed double spaced (use one inch margins and Times New
Roman12 CPI font) Choose an article from The Wall Street Journal, Business Week or
business section from a major newspaper. The report is to consist of two paragraphs.
Paragraph one is to be a summary of the key points of the article: keep paragraph
one brief. Paragraph two is an analysis and/or a creative discussion of the article and is
the more important section of your write-up. Possibilities for paragraph two are: What
are the implications of the article, compare and/or contrast the article’s concept to a
contemporary example, or extend the premise or the ideas offered by the article. Write a
full page, but do not exceed one page so keep the first paragraph short and write
tightly. Articles chosen must have general or operations management implications.
Grades will be based on the following factors: 1) quality of the writing including
organization, grammar, sentence structure and spelling, 2) how effectively the student
extended the concepts in the article with original analysis and critical thought, and 3)
following instructions. The article reports should be balanced between description
and analysis/creative thought. Check the assignment schedule for the two dates the
reports are due. Late completion of the reports will be severely penalized. Articles

(see text section above). At the graduate level, you should be able to go beyond
