Leadership and Management BADM 371: Topic

Answer these questions before you begin:

• What is your assignment?
• How many sources do you need?
• What types of sources do you need?
• How recent do your sources need to be?
• When is your assignment due?

If you can't answer one or more of these questions or if anything else about your assignment is unclear, you should contact your professor.

Is there a question you would like to answer?  Is there a topic you'd like to learn more about?

When deciding what to research, make sure your topic:

1. Fits the requirements of the assignment.
2. Is something you're interested in. 
3. If at all possible, consider choosing a topic relating to your major. 

Start your research by gathering background information on the leader you have selected for your topic. (The position and/or status of the individual and a short biography is a required part of the paper.)

Learning more about the leader will help you select what concepts and models from the class that are most relevant to the leader you are researching. Learning about the leader's life will help you identify search terms to use in the databases such as their title as well as anything they might be associated with such as a company, product, services, or specific accomplishments.

• Search the Gregg Graniteville Library Catalog "Find it" for Biographical information on your leader.
• Often leaders or entrepreneurs will post their own biographies online or their company or organization they are associated with will post a short biography on their website.

When accessing databases off-campus, you will be prompted for login information.  You will log in with your Blackboard information.

If you have any problems logging in, please contact Stan Price during normal business hours.
