Harrisburg University of Science & Tech Hofstede Cultural Dimensions Essay

Hi I need help with two assignments both questions are inter-related and are due by Thursday morning. I have shared all the step-wise details below:

STEP 1: Choose 8 peer-reviewed articles on the topics covered in STEP 3 question and follow the process mentioned in STEP 2 to write summary for Discussion post.

STEP 2: Summary of each article (Discussion Question)

Prior to reading this DQ, please read the PA1 assignment and understand what the assignment is asking you to complete. Once you have an understanding of the PA1 assignment, please continue to the paragraph below to complete DQ1.

Research eight (8) peer-reviewed articles that can be used to answer your upcoming PA1 assignment. Your discussion should summarize the articles in such a way that it can justify any arguments you may present in your PA1 assignment and should be different than the abstract. In addition to your researched peer-reviewed article, you must include an industry example of the article researched as it is applied by industry (company, business entity).

Important: Please ensure that your reference for the article is in 7th edition APA format, as your reference in your discussion post. Depending on which electronic database you use, you should see a “Cite” selection for your article. In addition, there should be a variety of articles summarized and as such, students should have different articles summarized. Your summary MUST include ALL of the following in your DQ post (include every item in the bullet list below, or you will not receive full credit):

Do these in order:

• In correct APA format, write the Reference of the article.
• Clearly state what the article is about and its purpose. (summary of the article)
• Describe how you will use it in your upcoming professional assignment.
• Repeat for a total of eight (8) peer-reviewed sources.

Please note: You may use your article summary, partially in your PA1 assignment.
