The BUSI 613 Week 2 method, step by step
Read the article twice, differently
First read for the story, second read for the method. The critique is graded on the second read: design, sample, data collection, analysis and the honesty of the conclusions.
Describe before you judge
Give a short, exact summary first. If the description is wrong, every judgment after it is suspect, so check the numbers and terms against the article.
Appraise each part of the study
Judge each element on its own terms: fit of design to question, sampling, validity and reliability of measures, analysis, and whether the conclusions stay within the data.
Name strengths as well as weaknesses
A critique is not a list of faults. Say what the study does well and why, then where it falls short and how much that matters to its usefulness.
Say what it means for practice
Finish by judging whether the findings are strong enough to use, and where. This is where the critique earns the analysis points in BUSI 613.
Keep to the length and format
Write in paragraphs, inside At least 1,000 words, with current APA citations. A critique that turns into a table or list usually loses its argument.
Use the Review 1 feedback, then test the article's main claim against a real company's experience you can cite.

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.
The article argues that nearshoring cuts total supply chain cost once transport, inventory and disruption risk are counted. This matches Young's emphasis on total cost rather than unit price. Yet the authors' model assumes stable labor costs in the nearshore country, an assumption recent wage growth in parts of Mexico challenges.
