The BUSI 610 Week 5 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
Search the Jerry Falwell Library databases with consistent terms and keep a log. Aim to exceed the minimum (At least 15 scholarly sources) so you can choose the strongest studies.
Organize by theme, not by article
Group the studies by what they found or argue. A review that summarizes one article per paragraph is an annotated list; a review organized by theme is synthesis.
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
Apply current APA to every citation and reference; reviews are where reference errors cluster (At least 15 sources).
Each annotation gives the APA reference, a summary of the purpose, method and findings, a brief evaluation, and the outline theme it supports. If a theme has fewer than three sources, search further before the final.

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.
This study surveys managers in over 100 firms to test whether contextual ambidexterity, the ability of a unit to pursue alignment and adaptability at once, predicts performance. It finds that units high in both outperform others, and that supportive context, such as discipline combined with trust, enables ambidexterity. The large sample strengthens the findings, though the self-reported data may inflate effects. It supports theme I.B of the outline.
