Course Description

The MBA Capstone course is an integrative seminar focusing the concepts and techniques of contemporary strategic management. Additionally, students participating in this course will explore the literature relevant to a set of global strategic issues that will likely prove important to the future of our planet and that will place significant demands on business and the broader global community in the years to come. Finally students, in competing management teams, will apply related concepts by crafting and executing organizational strategy as part of a business simulation exercise (GLO-BUS).

How to Search for Articles in a Specific Journal Online

You can search for an article in a journal in a database simply by typing in the journal title in one search box and at least one additional piece of information in the second search box. The example below shows how to search for an article in Business Source Complete:

 Search for Harvard Business Review in Business Source Complete

As pictured above, type in the following in the database:

  • In the first search box, enter the journal you want (e.g., Harvard Business Review) AND select SO Publication Name from the drop-down menu to tell the databases you want to search for that journal
  • In the second search box, enter at least the first part of the article title

 If you have any difficulties, ask a librarian for assistance.
