Contemporary Management Technique Research Paper

Based on your evaluation of an organization or a segment of an organization in Individual Learning Project 1, select 1 contemporary management technique (listed in the Blocher et al. text) not currently being implemented in the organization/segment that could aid the organization/segment in achieving its critical success factors (CSFs).

Using the electronic databases provided by the Jerry Falwell Library (https://www.liberty.edu/library/) and other sources, search for journal articles in professional, peer-reviewed accounting and business journals that pertain to the contemporary management technique chosen.

Write a research paper in current APA format. The paper must be 11–13 double-spaced pages, with 1-inch margins and current APA pagination. The font must be 12-point Times New Roman. The paper must include references from at least 7 different sources. Be sure to include a title page and a reference page in addition to the essay pages. The title page and the reference page do not count as part of the 11–13-page length requirement.

The paper must address the following in order:

1. Rationale for the contemporary management technique selected
2. In-depth analysis of the technique, in which you fully describe      the technique, its implementation process, its application by other      organizations, its applicability to your organization/segment, and your      plan for implementation

Additional guidelines:

1. Avoid using first and second person (e.g., “I,” “we,” “you,”      etc.).
2. You must reference a minimum of your textbooks and 5 additional      scholarly sources. Wikipedia, Investopedia, and the like are not      considered scholarly sources and should not be used. Any use of these      sources will be grounds for a 50-point      deduction.
3. Any personal communication should be cited appropriately within      the text; however, citations of personal communication are not needed for      the reference section.
4. An abstract and table of contents are not needed.
5. The final assignment must be submitted via the SafeAssign submission link.
