Task Details: Annotated Bibliography (Reference List)

In academia, as in business, good reports demonstrate the ability to research and identify relevant material to be used as the basis for considering a question, supporting argument and arriving at justified conclusions or recommendations.

Good relevant supporting material will be:
- Relevant

- At least 1 peer reviewed article
- At least 1 website
- At least 1 magazine or newspaper article
- At least 1 of the sources reviewed must fail to meet the some or all of the 3 criteria of good supporting material - relevant, recent and credible i.e. be a source you have viewed but decided it would not be appropriate to use - explain why it is not appropriate.

Wiki anything and About.com MUST NOT be included in your sources - good or otherwise.
For each source, pairs are to:
1. Cite the material correctly using Harvard (Anglia) referencing style
2. Briefly summarise the main findings or arguments of the source
3. Briefly critique (evaluate) the source's usefulness, reliability, objectivity or bias, assessing its strengths and/or weaknesses as if you were writing a research paper on the topic given.

Things to think about when finding and evaluating your sources Evaluating a source: Good relevant supporting material will be: • Relevant - is the source on a similar topic e.g. o an article about accounting practices in Botswana, Russia or China are not likely to have much relevance to accounting practices in Australia, o an article about organisational structures in multinational Australian companies is unlikely to be relevant for an assignment about structuring a café business in Australia o an article about business management practices in the USA or UK is probably going to have relevance for an assignment about business management practices in Australia (provided the organisations are reasonably similar in size and industry) • Recent (unless considered a seminal or classic article/book) - usually the more recent the better for business management and accounting studies
