The BUSI 528 Week 4 method, step by step
Define the scope of the search
Write down the question the review serves and the limits of the search: years, populations, study types. The scope tells the grader why these sources and not others.
Search systematically
Use the library databases with a fixed set of terms and filters, and collect more than the minimum (At least 5 scholarly references).
Organize by theme, not by article
Sort the sources into themes before writing. Each paragraph should discuss a theme across several studies.
Compare and evaluate
Within each theme, say where studies agree, where they differ, and which evidence is stronger.
Identify the gap
Name the gap the sources leave open and how it connects to your question.
Format the references carefully
Check every reference against APA, and every in-text citation against the list (A topic statement and a reference page).
A structure for BUSI 528 Week 4 Sales Presentation Topic and Reference Page
Word targets are planning numbers for about 800 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Topic | The chemical dependency program and the audience you will pitch. | ~240 words |
| Reference page | At least 5 scholarly references. | ~450 words |
| Plan note | How the references will be used. | ~110 words |
A topic angle that works
Define the audience for the pitch in the topic (employers, a health plan, a hospital board, referring physicians), because a sales presentation is built for its buyer, and choose references on outcomes and cost that the buyer cares about.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Topic: a sales presentation pitching an outpatient medication-assisted treatment program for opioid use disorder to a regional employer group as a covered employee benefit. References focus on treatment outcomes with buprenorphine, return-to-work and productivity effects, and the cost of untreated substance use to employers.1
