Research Report

Directions
Using the cited research from the textbook as a starting point, you  are to find a current (as recent as possible) related journal article,  preferably on the same topic. You should then read the current article  and compare its’ results and findings to those summarized in the text.  After determining whether the results and findings are the same or  different from those cited in the textbook, you then need to explain  what those similarities or differences mean, in plain English.
All cited material must include both internal citations and a  complete reference list at the end of the paper. A cover sheet should  minimally indicate the name of the Research Report, the name of the  course, the student’s name and the date.

Article Specific Directions
Chapter 33, Research Report 33.1 – Transparency and collective learning
The Bernstein (2012) article recent, so it may not be possible to  find something more recent than this article. This is not important. The  point of the exercise is to find another article dealing with  observability of workers and collective learning 
effects.

To that end it may be helpful to:

Use the library databases to search on “collective learning”,  “observability of workers”, “transparency”, or “change” as well as the  authors’ names to find related articles. The chapter may provide you  with useful search terms as well. If you find the journal article itself  in the library databases, note the associated subject terms for the  article and use those to conduct your search. Given the difficulty that  you may have in finding a direct match, if you find an article that  deals with either observability of workers OR collective learning  effects, that will be sufficient for this exercise.
Use Research report 29.1 to generate search terms, as previously  suggested. The narrative has useful phrases that can be used for a  literature search.
You do not want to merely summarize the article. You want to  indicate whether the article you found is consistent or inconsistent  with the Bernstein (2012) findings. Then you want to discuss what these  results, as a whole (both articles together), mean to leaders and  managers in terms of being able to consider the effects of collective  learning and transparency on change efforts.
