I NEED A NEW PAPER – BASED OFF THE OLD — BUT BRAND NEW — MUST BE BASED ON THIS BOOK: Agranoff “Managing Within Networks” (I DO NOT HAVE A COPY OF THE BOOK YOU WILL NEED TO BUY IT) ATTACHED IS MY PREVIOUS PAPER IT NEEDS COMPLETE REVISION ASAP. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS. For this semester, you must utilize assigned DPA 702 course readings with an emphasis on your selected book (Agranoff, Agranoff, Emerson & Nabatchi, or Kettl) toward the completion of your translation memo. You may cite to additional articles and/or book chapters (from DPA 702 or beyond) if these additional citations add appropriate substance to your memo, however this is not required. Translation memorandums should be addressed to either a supervisor or elected official(s). Memos should 12 Point Times New Roman font, be no more than six pages (double spaced), and no less than four pages (double spaced) in length (and yes, I acknowledge “memos” traditionally follow a single-spaced format). The paper must be formatted and include citations utilizing the APA format (including APA’s margins but no abstract required). Each page of the paper (except cover) should be numbered and include the author’s name. The citation page(s) do not count toward this page limit. The following eleven points below should help you in the completion of your analysis. Whenever I approach a piece of academic writing, whether it be a book or a journal article, I find working to answer the following questions very helpful and I believe from a student perspective it will help you to cement your learning from the book you read. Clearly, each book is written in a different style thus don’t feel obligated to answer each of these in a bullet list fashion; instead use the following list of questions to help synthesize your thoughts on the book and then, in turn, help you in writing this memo. Depending on the research methods utilized by your book (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, synthetic review, etc.) one or more of these 11 points may not be appropriate—so adjust as required by the parameters of your selected book. Lastly, students must finish their memo with a set of recommendations on either how to implement or how to apply the book’s recommendations/findings, and/or the student’s own recommendations based on their reading of the book. 1. Research Question – (i) What question/s is the article trying to answer? (ii) To what extent is it stated clearly and explicitly? (iii) If it is not stated explicitly, are you able to draw inferences from the article to identify the research question/s? 2. Contributions to the Literature – (i) How does the article contribute to the scientific literature? To identify the contributions you might ask: Have the authors identified a gap in the literature that needs to be filled, or a need to test competing theories/hypotheses, or explore a theory in a new context? (ii) To what extent is the contribution stated clearly and explicitly? 3. Main Argument(s) or Findings – (i) What basic arguments are the author(s) trying to make or what are their key findings/conclusions? (ii) To what extent are the arguments or findings stated clearly and explicitly? 4. Research Design/Data Sources – (i) What is the research design/data sources (e.g. documents, surveys, interviews)? (ii) To what extent is the information gathered and analyzed in a manner that is intersubjectively reliable (replicable)? (iii) How are data limitations addressed and threats to validity controlled for (
