11 Nov RESEARCH PAPER: ABRIDGED LITERATURE REVIEW

Write an abridged literature review on the prior assignment annotated bibliography assigned
topic. The purpose of this review is to integrate and synthesize peer-reviewed literature on the
assigned topic. In this literature review, you should describe, contrast, and critique major
findings and key theories on the topic, as well as identify controversial questions. In your review
of the literature, evaluate the effective application of primary management concepts to your topic
and demonstrate a synthesis of Christian literature and secular knowledge generated as a result of
your research.
The assigned topic is “How to Manage a Diverse Work Team” which is the same topic used in
the Annotated Bibliography assignment. For the purposes of this assignment, a diverse work
team is defined as one where there is a range of differences between individuals which include
one or more of the following: gender identity, age, culture, veteran status, religion, national
origin, color, language, race, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and
family structures.
Remember: This assignment and all assignments in this course have a management, not
leadership focus. There is a distinct difference between management and leadership. Discuss
management, not leadership. The Contemporary Management text only provides basic topical
information. As a research-intensive doctoral course, you will need to research current scholarly
literature. There is no assignment in this course that can be completed by relying on the text
alone.
General guidance for writing a literature review can be found at the Research Paper: Abridged
Literature Review Resources.
