SLP Assignment
How Business Will Harness AI
Use the assignment-specific template file in the Assignment Expectations section for all Cases and SLPs in this class. The templates are APA-formatted, may contain links and guidance, and include headings for each required section.
The assignment requires research and attribution. It cannot be based on opinion or personal experience. Ensure that you spend time and energy learning to research different types of sources and have a finished product that reflects your voice and is properly formatted using APA. No quotations are permitted in this submission.
Topic: Provide a research-based summary on the “uses of AI in business.” The body of the paper will be two pages. Select a focus area that is related to your field or future career. (2 pages)
Although you are using 4 different sources, do not write an overview of each source. It is necessary to integrate content into a single focused effort addressing the topic.
Research Requirements: You must use all four types of resources below:
· Book: Rise of Generative AI and ChatGPT: Understand How Generative AI and ChatGPT are Transforming and Reshaping the Business World. (2023). Paste the book title into the search bar for Trident’s library in the portal**. Select one chapter that best matches your career discipline (Chapters 13, 15-22 are suggested). **If the direct search method does not work, click “Additional Library Resources” and scroll to the end of the list and click “Skillsoft Books (BusinessPro and ITPro)” and paste the book title in the search box.
· A scholarly journal article from Business Source Complete (EBSCO) (see module resources to identify this type of source) published in the last 18 months.
· A periodical (newspaper or magazine) article from Proquest Central published in the last 18 months.
· Resource found through an internet search, published in the last 18 months. You learned how to set dates in Google searches for this module’s discussion.
Be sure to check your paper with Grammarly for Word and make corrections before submission.
Research Analysis:
In the Appendix of the paper, you will provide feedback on the resources you used.
The book: Explain how you can search for other books in Trident’s library. Assess the ease of use of the ebook.
Business Source Complete (EBSCO): How did you know that the article was scholarly? What attributes told you this? What search term did you use and why?
Proquest Central: How was this type of article different than the scholarly one? Explain the process you used regarding search terms.
Internet Source: How did you determine that the web resource was appropriate for a graduate-level paper? Was the author or source legitimate? Explain.
This SLP will be written in 3rd person; this means words like “I,” “we,” and “you” are not appropriate. For more information see
Differences Between First and Third Person
. Your Analysis in the Appendix may be written in 1st person.
No quotations are permitted in this paper. Since you are engaging in research, be sure to
cite
and
reference the sources in APA format
. NOTE: Failure to use research with accompanying
citations
to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” across the grading rubric. This is a professional paper, not a personal one based on feelings.
