...Running Head: JOURNAL ARTICLE CRITIQUE Journal Article Critique Peter Bakke Walden University Professor Thomas Spencer, Ph.D. RSCH-8250Z-1 – Advanced Quantitative Reasoning & Analysis July 16, 2013 1 2 Running Head: JOURNAL ARTICLE CRITIQUE Introduction Hsu, Chen, and Cheng (2013) used a cross-sectional study to analyze 187 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Taiwan to determine if CEO attributes contributed to internationalization success as defined by firm performance. Based upon upper echelon and information processing theories, the researchers hypothesized that five CEO characteristics (age, tenure, education, international experience, and duality - that is, CEO also as board chairman) were significant moderating effects upon international firm performance. Using regression analyses, the researchers concluded that four of the predictors, excluding CEO tenure, had a significant moderating effect upon firm performance. The rationale for the study was described by the researchers as a need to analyze CEO characteristic attributes because such CEO predictors had not been addressed in previous studies of internationalization and firm performance. Therefore, this study appeared to fill a gap in the literature. The three authors seemed to be a well-balanced team to tackle this particular academic issue. They individually had well-suited combinations of experience in finance, risk management, and international business. Literature Review ...

...How to Read and Review a Scientific Journal Article: Writing Summaries and Critiques Definition of Genre Summaries and critiques are two ways to write a review of a scientific journal article. Both types of writing ask you first to read and understand an article from the primary literature about your topic. The summary involves briefly but accurately stating the key points of the article for a reader who has not read the original article. The critique begins by summarizing the article and then analyzes and evaluates the author’s research. Summaries and critiques help you learn to synthesize information from different sources and are usually limited to two pages maximum. Actions to Take 1. Skim the article without taking notes: Read the abstract. The abstract will tell you the major findings of the article and why they matter. Read first for the “big picture.” Note any terms or techniques you need to define. Jot down any questions or parts you don’t understand. If you are unfamiliar with any of the key concepts in the article, look them up in a textbook. 2. Re-read the article more carefully: Pay close attention to the “Materials and Methods” (please note that in some journals this section is at the very end of the paper) and “Results” sections. Ask yourself questions about the study, such as: o Was the study repeated? o What was the sample size? Is this representative of the larger population? o What variables were held constant? Was there...

...INTRODUCTION The mid-eighties witnessed the emergence of a growing body of work collectively labelled the resource and capability-based view of the firm (RBV). In reality, Resource Competence View (RCV) first adopted an “economic” orientation. Pioneer studies (Wernerfelt, 1984) , Barney, 1986, 1991, Dierickx and Cool, 1989, Peteraf, 1993) focused on the type of resources and competencies that could offer to its owner a sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, resources and competencies approach first appeared as a theory of competitive advantage or a theory of “performance of the firm” (Argyres & Zenger, 2007). It is only recently, in the last 20 years that organizations have started using the resource based view approach on strategy. Nowadays, they view it as the most important key development in international business research and strategic management, an approach that gives a coherent vision based on a firm's capabilities to help determine the strategic resources necessary for the firm's survival and growth within a particular market place. As Hitt et al (2001) stated, “the resource based model assumes that each organization is a collection of unique resources and capabilities that provides the basis for its strategy and that is the primary source of return.”. It suggests that in order for a firm to sustain competitive advantage, it must not only have resources and capabilities but also have a firm control over it and they must meet certain basic criteria such as...

...RES/351 Article Critique Article Critique Carl Bubeck University Phoenix Abstract The critique of "Attitudes Towards Tax Evasion: A Demographic Study of the Netherlands" will show if the article and the study followed, or failed to follow, the criteria for good research, as described in Chapter 1. I will describe if the writer’s conclusions were warranted and which were not based on the information in the article and its supporting documents. Article Critique In the article "Attitudes Towards Tax Evasion: A Demographic Study of the Netherlands" Ross and McGee attempt to say that the new studies about the attitudes of tax evasion have better support and research about those attitudes. The authors use a variety of historic studies and a recent study to support their theory. Depending on the reason people feel it is ok to avoid paying taxes. Attitudes Towards Tax Evasion: A Demographic Study of the Netherlands A number of studies have examined the relationship between tax collection and various demographic variables. However, until recently most of those studies have involved a United States sample population (Ross, McGee 2012, P2). This article review the data from typical IRS data as well as additional supportive criteria for the sturdy. Ethical issues were introduced through a series of questions to members of differing demographics.
