From the bullet point list below, select one topicfor which you will lead the discussion in the forum this week. Early in the week, reserve your selected topic by posting your response (reservation post) to the Discussion Area and identifying your topic in the subject line. Practice posing your reservation post as a research question.

• Assess whether all business and academic questions can be answered by research. Propose one question that may be answerable by research and one that may not, including a rationale for your conclusion (regarding answerable or unanswerable).

As the beginning of a scholarly conversation, your initial post should be:

• Succinct—No more than 500 words.
• Provocative—Use concepts and combinations of concepts from the readings to propose relationships, causes, and/or consequences that inspire others to engage (inquire, learn). In other words, take a scholarly stand.
• Supported—Scholarly conversations are more than opinions. Ideas, statements, and conclusions are supported by clear research and citations from course materials as well as other credible, peer-reviewed resources.
