  1. Inline Citations and Source References: Crafting an Efficacious Argument with Necessary Rigor and Sufficient Relevance Wayne Smith, Ph.D. Department of Management CSU Northridge

  2. Alternatives to Scientific Research

  3. The Relative Need for an Inline Citation(Systematic Empowerment) more persuasive Law, Evidence, or Equation (rationally objective) Argument, Statement, or Finding (cogent or valid) Value Personal Experience, Opinion, or Speculation (reasonably subjective) Material Fact, Credible Experience, or Term Definition (genuine) less persuasive with author Origin elsewhere

  4. The Relative Strength of a Source Reference(Authoritative Accountability) more accuracy Case-specific effect (narrow impact) Theory (science-based) Validity Preliminary scientific finding (broad impact) Ideology (faith-based) less accuracy low consistency Reliability high consistency

  5. Differences between Theory & Ideology

  6. Final Checklist for Case Deliverable • Citations • Have I cited the facts, laws, theories, and equations? • Have I cited any secondary sources to support my arguments? • References • Is this reference the strongest reference I can use? • Can a reader locate the reference? • On-line references • Double-check credibility of on-line sources • Is this reference relatively bias-free? • Double-check precise web URL • Is this reference persistent and accessible?

  7. Formatting and Style Guides • Format/Style Guide • ENGL 205 (MLA) • BUS 302 (APA) • MGT/MKT (APA) • BLAW (Bluebook) • IS/SOM (IEEE) • FIN (likely follows ECON--APA? or MMA?) • ACCT (AICPA?) • If it’s not clear from syllabus, etc., just ask. • You may need to do this at a firm also

  8. BUS 302 Case Examples • Facts • Issues • Questions • Technical Analysis • LDC--Accounting, Economics, Statistics, Law • UDC—Finance, Marketing, Management, Operations • Conclusions/Findings • Strategic Considerations • Ethical Considerations • Recommendations
