Mike, I know you're struggling to find scholarly sources and thus, haven't composed Blog Post #7 yet.
ReplyDeleteI would start with the 3 journals you identified in Blog Post #5. Search within them to see if there's anything related to your controversy (Uber) - even if its about something broad that can be applied to your controversy (for example, articles about managing or compensating employees, articles about app-based businesses or articles about disruptive businesses/tech and workplace legislation related to business ethics....)
Can't remember if I posted this earlier, so.... an important detail: your blog posts need a properly cited image. I was explicit about this in the intro video for Deadline 2 that I posted in the News feed. Be sure to check D2L News for announcements.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about fixing any deadline 2 posts lacking imagery. But for Deadline 3 and onwards, be sure to include a properly cited image for every blog post!
