Write an annotated bibliography of two theories and two conceptual framework models.
Use your knowledge from Week 4 about writing an annotated bibliography. (There is an accepted format for an annotated bibliography. You will see this through your own research. The title, author, publisher, and APA citing of the source is the heading for this article. According to APA guidelines (Section 9.51 and Figure 9.3), the heading should be formatted the same as an end of paper list rerence and use a “Hanging Indent” format. Then, a few paragraphs are written to summarize what you learned about the article or topic.
Additional information focuses on why the article was written, or what is the point of the content. Does the content cover additional topics? Then, you will give your opinion of the article or content by critiquing it. For example, what points do you agree with and what objections do you see? Include other writings that may be similar and how you observed this parallel of the topic by this author. Finally, provide your point of view on the content and why.
Typically, each bibliography is one page or less. It can also be only a paragraph depending on what the content tells you. It is organized to show your research on a topic in a condensed format. There are various types of annotated bibliographies, depending on the purpose of the task. This type of annotated bibliography is known as an informative bibliography.
This week, you will keep the sources to only theories and conceptual frameworks. You may use any theories and conceptual frameworks you choose.

Theory or Conceptual Framework Search
This week, you will focus on a theory of your choice and a pre-identified conceptual framework. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of a theory is an idea or set of ideas that are organized to explain something. Typically, this is an event or facts. There are theories in every discipline of study. You are encouraged in this assignment to find a theory that aligns to your topic of interest or one that has interested you during your previous courses. In your NCU dissertation, if you are pursuing a Ph.D., you will be required to have at least one theory. A DBA will use a conceptual framework.
A conceptual framework, according to Business Dictionary.com, is a theoretical structure of assumptions, principles, and or rules that bring together ideas to create a broad concept. In essence, the conceptual framework can be a model, a diagram, or a framework that guides you through a process. By conducting a simple Internet search, you will find many images and ideas of the conceptual framework. Remember from last week, the goal is to determine the reliability of what you find: research, research, research.
In your dissertation, the theory or the conceptual framework assist you in developing the research questions as well as the gap in the literature that you research. The problem typically is the gap in the research. Your study will seek to fill this gap.
