This is an interesting article that was in Forbes.  It probably goes with our Chapter 7 Part 1 – the Services Industry, which is huge not only in our country but all over the world.  Services account for much more of GDP than manufacturing, and that has been true for a very long time now.  Interestingly, I guess the article ties in with manufacturing as well, since the products they sell are all manufactured somewhere!
Additionally, this retailer has opened a store right here in Conway not too long ago – our daughter and I absolutely love to wander around in there (and occasionally buy something, lol).
Without “giving away the punchline” or “spoiler alert” or whatever kind of analogy I’m looking for (lol), there is one very surprising thing you’ll read about in the article.  Read the article and “prove to me that you read it”; and see if you can identify the “surprising fact” about the firm.  I think you’ll know it when you see it.
Fear not, you have got until midnight Thursday evening (the 9th of April) to complete it.  Yes, I got permission from the publisher.  Here is the link; you might have to copy and paste it into your browser:

As this article is a few years old now, how about you go out to Google and see what’s happened lately?  My students from this past summer did so, and there were some interesting things found out.

For this paper, please include at least 5 references on Brunelleschi that help you to understand his aesthetics and his influence. Annotate three of these sources with a ten-sentence paragraph that reviews the source. Each annotation should include full sentences in essay format that detail what the link explores and how it is organized. You may include your thoughts on whether you think the link is successful or not, and explain why. Always include the full citation for each source.

Research Paper Guidelines
Your research paper (about any Operations Management topic that interests you, for example Supply Chain Management, Dynamic Ticket Pricing, etc.) is to be the following:
1.  A traditional research paper, 10 pages (double-spaced) minimum with 10 references, appropriately CITED.  MLA Style or APA Style preferably.
https://uca.edu/cwc/quick-help/apa-basics/  Look here for assistance and guidance.
Here is an example of citing using APA style (McMurtrey, McGaughey, and Downey, 2009).  Here’s another one:
Downey, McMurtrey, and Zeltmann (2008) reported that…etc.
*Cite all authors the first time, afterwards you may use et al., like this (McMurtrey et al., 2009).  Here’s another one:
Downey et al. (2008) further noted that…etc.
** The ten pages do NOT count your cover page, table of contents, or bibliography.  I need 10 solid pages (OR MORE) of research at the Graduate School level.
2.  Make sure you have all the bibliometric information:  authors (ALL), pages, journal name, volume, number, page number, month/year/date/issue, and complete URL.  Here’s two examples of an appropriate citation:
Downey, James P.; McMurtrey, Mark E. and Zeltmann, Steven M. (2008). Mapping the MIS Curriculum Based on Critical Skills of New Graduates:  An Empirical Examination of IT Professionals.  Journal of Information Systems Education. Volume 19, Number 3, pp. 351-364.  Available at:  https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ831395
Here’s one that we are very proud of!
McMurtrey, Mark E.; Downey, James P.; Zeltmann, Steven M. and McGaughey, Ronald E. (2011). Seniors and Technology: Results from a Field Study. Journal of Computer Information Systems. Volume 51, Number 4, pp. 22-30.
3.  It must not be from another class project.
4.  Final Paper Due Thursday, April 23rd at 11:59 p.m.
5.  A good source of information is the ABI Inform (or ProQuest) Research Database available online through Torreyson Library:
http://www.uca.edu/library/     Look around here, you’ll find a lot.
(It changes a little bit every semester, lol.  Just plow on, you’ll find everything!)
Here is the direct link but it can be troublesome.
http://libguides.uca.edu/az.php  This is the direct link to “Databases A – Z”.  Once you get here, pick ProQuest ABI/Inform) and/or any of the others.
