**Learning Project: Contemporary Management Techniques Research Paper Assignment Instructions**
Choose an organization and select 1 contemporary management technique outlined in Chapter 1 of the Blocher et al. (2022) course textbook that could aid the organization’s key employees in achieving its critical success factors (CSFs). Key employees of an organization are integral in the strategic management of the entire organization or segment. They could be an owner/part owner of the organization and/or an employee with significant decision-making abilities. It is more interesting and beneficial to choose an organization that you are familiar with (e.g., former employer) versus selecting a large, publicly traded organization.
**You may not use the balanced scorecard** since this contemporary management technique was previously discussed.
Using the electronic databases provided by the Jerry Falwell 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 10–12 pages. The body of the paper must be double-spaced 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 5 different sources, including the Blocher et al. (2022) textbook. 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 page length requirement.
The paper must address the following in order, with these specific headings:
a. Rationale and Selection of the Technique
b. Management Technique – description of the technique.
c. Application by Other Companies
d. Evaluating/Creating Applicability to the Chosen Company
Additional guidelines:
1. Avoid using first and second person (e.g., “I,” “we,” “you,” etc.).
1. You must reference a minimum of 5 scholarly sources in addition to your Blocher et al. (2022) course textbook. Wikipedia, Investopedia, and other popular sources are not considered scholarly sources and should NOT be used. Articles from websites are good supplemental resources, but the bulk should come from scholarly journals. Please be sure to review the Online Writing Center’s webpage, “Choosing Appropriate Resources for Academic Papers,” as it specifically outlines Liberty University’s acceptable resources. A link to the Online Writing Center webpage is provided in the assignment description page on Canvas.
2. Any personal communication (if any) should be cited appropriately within the text; however, citations of personal communication are not needed for the reference section.
3. An abstract and table of contents are not needed.
4. Microsoft Word must be used.
There is only 1 submission attempt for this assignment.
See the Course Syllabus for the Late Assignment Policy. See the

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
