Research in the fields of Management and Leadership can be very thought-provoking - sometimes to the point of changing your whole outlook on something. I would like you to see if there is an article on the following website that provokes you into thinking differently about an area of management. Go to the following website: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/#, then find the drop-down menu "Topics" and click on "Management" and "Leadership". From here, review the research articles within the past 6 months, and choose one that discusses a topic we have covered so far in this course. For your first post, discuss the following questions. Be sure to cite the article.
