MGMT 310A - Organizational Behavior and Management

Gathering information from news and other sources

While scholarly research will cover issues in organizational behavior and management, they may not reference the specific company you are researching. Instead, they often pay attention to larger contexts, such as an industry, geography, economy, or a specific time period. Think critically about how each article might relate to your company without overt references.

On the other hand, articles from popular newspapers, magazines, and trade publications (e.g., The New York Times, The Economist, Businessweek, Forbes, etc.) as well as other non-scholarly sources like Glassdoor, LinkedIn, or the company's website are great sources to gather company-specific information as well as current and breaking news that will supplement your scholarly research. News articles may even cite a report, survey, or scholarly article that could point you to more sources.
