In every course you take at PG, you are a member of a learning community. All members are working to strengthen their professional skills and achieve their academic and career goals. Discussion allows you to see new perspectives and achieve further personal growth. Discussion Boards are an important part of your learning, allowing you to asynchronously interact with your classmates and instructor.

Using the assigned readings and supplemental academic research, you will address the topics presented on the Discussion Board. Be sure to review the Discussion Board rubric to review all expectations.

Please write your paper in the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) format. As part of your research, you may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least five credible, outside sources and cite them using CMS format as well. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in CMS (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).

Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches, company documents, statements, and press releases published by the company in question.
Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Management. You may use like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Social Science Research Network to find articles from these journals. Secondary sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)
