MY MAJOR IS ACCOUNTING.
Suggestions for Working on This Project: In the course
textbook, go to page 27, and read Linda Hudson’s remarks in -Why Does
This Matter? Then – go to page 71, and read the overview about Team
Communication Skills – Why Does This Matter? Make sure to read Chapters
(12 and 13) in the course textbook before working on this assignment.
Instructions: In your team, plan and
investigate the Business Case below. Then, evaluate useful data sources
to address the Business Case. *Make sure to identify ONE applicable secondary business sources to support your findings. Use current data NOT over ten years.
Make sure to select ONE direct quote
from secondary sources. The source should
be used as three in-text citations (APA format) to support the
findings. *Do NOT use more than “three”
in-text citations in the body. Do NOT use the course’s textbook as a
secondary source. Make sure to list secondary
sources in the reference page (APA format).
Business Case – Research
related to higher education trends suggest college students do not read
course textbooks and other assigned course content. Drawing from this
literature, business research suggest this might provide a reason for
undergraduate business majors “gaps” in terms of not understanding their
discipline/declared major specific knowledge and skills expected by
industry. Some examples of these “knowledge/skill gaps” include but are
not limited to: preparing routine business – written documents or
presentations, utilizing specific knowledge/skills related to team-based
projects and demonstrating an awareness of workplace issues
related to their declared majors, e.g. generations, technological,
cultures, genders, etc., which might impede business communications or
performance on team-based projects.
Task: Investigate
whether graduating undergraduate business majors are equipped with
industry expected skills. Your team can investigate using (national)
data about graduating undergraduate business majors -or- specific
(local) data.
Establish
your position (agree, disagree, neutral). This means explain your
position in terms of whether graduating undergraduate business majors
are equipped – or- not equipped with industry expected skills- or-
neutral. Make sure to provide evidence to support your position from
secondary and/or primary sources.
Regarding
primary sources – given the mixture of declared majors assigned to
teams in this course – it is acceptable to use a mixture of examples
from team members/ declared majors –or- if your team include members
with the same major –use the team’s specific major.
