         a. Section 1: Summary i. Briefly summarize the main points of the paper in less than 250 words.

          b. Section 2: Contribution i. Discuss how the main research finding extends your understanding of the assigned concept. In other words, compared to what you learned in the textbook, how does this paper further your understanding of the assigned concept?

            c. Section 3: Application i. Discuss how it can be applied to an organizational setting. In other words, how can you use this research finding to improve when you work? Provide specific examples whenever you can.

            d. Section 4: Limitation i. Every research has limitations, so I want you to use your critical thinking and offer a critique of the paper.
