Global Strategic Leadership 

Literature Review: Write a thematically organized literature review The thematically organized literature review focus on ethical considerations for global leadership, emphasizing biblical principles within the context of leading across cultures. • Title Page • Abstract • Introduction – no longer than one page • Findings – at least 7 pages • Conclusions and Recommendations – at least 2 pages • References 1. Annotated bibliography. As you research your topic, write a brief critical synopsis of each resource being considered. After going through your reading list, you will have an abstract or annotation of each source you read. Later annotations are likely to include more references to other works since you will have your previous readings to compare, but at this point the important goal is to get accurate critical summaries of each individual work. (YOU NO NOT HAVE TO SUBMIT AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY). 2. Thematic organization. Find common themes in the works you read, and organize the works into categories. Typically, each work you include in your review can fit into one category or sub-theme of your main theme, but sometimes a work can fit in more than one. (If each work you read can fit into all the categories you list, you probably need to rethink your organization.) Write some brief paragraphs outlining your categories, how in general the works in each category relate to each other, and how the categories relate to each other and to your overall theme. 3. More reading. Based on the knowledge you have gained in your reading; you should have a better understanding of the topic and of the literature related to it. Perhaps you have discovered specific researchers who are important to the field, or research methodologies you were not aware of. Look for more literature by those authors, on those methodologies, etc. Also, you may be able to set aside some less relevant areas or articles which you pursued initially. Integrate the new readings into your literature review draft. Reorganize themes and read more as appropriate. 4. Write individual sections. For each thematic section, use your draft annotations (it is a good idea to reread the articles and revise annotations, especially the ones you read initially) to write a section which discusses the articles relevant to that theme. Focus your writing on the theme of that section, showing how the articles relate to each other and to the theme, rather than focusing your writing on each individual article. Use the articles as evidence to support your critique of the theme rather than using the theme as an angle to discuss each article individually. 5. Integrate sections. Now that you have the thematic sections, tie them together with an introduction, conclusion, and some additions and revisions in the sections to show how they relate to each other and to your overall theme.
