Annotated Bibliography in APA Style

Due to a lack of sources major sources needed, There was a total number of four articles I had used to complete all of my previous posts, rather than 6. Below I will be using APA citation to list them off:

1. Soble, J. (2015, July 21). Scandal Upends Toshiba’s Lauded Reputation. New York Times. Retrieved from http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/22/business/international/toshiba-chief-and-7-others-resign-in-accounting-scandal.html?partner=socialflow&smid=tw-nytimesbusiness&_r=1

The article from the New York Times about the Toshiba Accounting Scandal is meant as a informative article for the public. They want to alert the public and the Toshiba Stockholders of what has happened within one of the biggest companies in Japan. The article has no bias towards either side of a supposed argument. While reading this article, along with the other articles, I found out how the CEO has truly found a lot of disappointment in what he has done and is sorry for what he did.

2.Toshiba scandal hits the top as CEO resigns. (2015, July 21). LexisNexis Academic. Retrieved from http://www.lexisnexis.com.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu/hottopics/lnacademic/

The purpose of this article was to show how far the extent of the Toshiba scandal went. It showed that it reached all the way up to the, now former, CEO of the company. This article, like all of them, has no bias to or from the company. It is just for clear information to the reader. Through this was where I realized how far up certain scandals can actually go within a company.

3.Toshiba CEO Quits Over Accounting Scandal. (2015, July 21). Entrepreneur. Retrieved from http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/248655

The purpose of this article is to convey to the reader about the extent of the scandal. It is more informative to the reader, rather than an opinionated article trying to push public opinion. The general public can learn from this article that scandals like this are always possibly happening, and it is a general warning to all stock holders as well.  

4. Edwards, J. (2015, July 21). Toshiba CEO resigns over massive accounting scandal. Business Insider. Retrieved from http://www.businessinsider.com/r-toshiba-ceo-resigns-over-massive-accounting-scandal-2015-7

This article, like the rest, is meant to show the public what has happened within the walls of the Toshiba company. It is a typical, informative article not meant to sway public opinion. IT wouldn't be in any interest for a news outlet to sway any sort of negative opinion for a technological company. In the future, this outlet may try to swing a positive spin on it so that their website is accessed easier. 

5.Noguchi, Y. (2015, July 21). Toshiba CEO, Board Members Resign Amid Accounting Scandal. NPR. Retrieved from http://www.npr.org/2015/07/21/425054310/toshiba-ceo-board-members-resign-amid-accounting-scandal

This piece is a transcript/article from a radio discussion on the National Public Radio. Here the author/main speaker, Noguchi, is speaking with Robert Eberhart, a professor from Santa Clara University who specializes in Japanese corporate governance. In this discussion/article, they talk about the differences between how the Toshiba higher ups are reacting to the problem versus how a higher up from the United States would handle it. They discuss the social stature of them in the technologically advanced country of Japan and how they are highly respected even after this incident. 

6.  Byford, S. (2015, July 21). Toshiba CEO quits in $1.2 billion accounting scandal. The Verge. Retrieved from http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/21/9008463/toshiba-ceo-quits-in-1-2-billion-accounting-scandal

This article describes how the hierarchy in the Japanese company was the reason for the scandal. The scandal itself was brought upon the higher ups who made the lower level workers carry out the misdeeds that would eventually lead to their own demise. 

7.Kageyrama, Y. (2015, July 21). Toshiba CEO Resigns Amid Accounting Scandal. Huffington Post. Retrieved from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/07/21/toshiba-ceo-resigns_n_7839968.html

In the article from the Huffington Post, Kageyrama reflects on the how and why the accounting scandal came to light. They involve that the Olympus corporation as well as the 2011 earthquake that ravaged the Japanese landscape. As well, it reflects on the reactions from inside the company and from the Toshiba stockholders.

This post is a list of various twitter reactions. These reactions all include a short sentence on their opinion or what article they are linking.  This source primarily serves as a social media link for this topic.

REFLECTION:
When going to look at other annotated bibliographies written by my peers, I was fortunate to find one written in the same style as mine. On Swati's blog post, I was able to compare my own work to hers. By doing this, I found holes in my own work that I have since gone back and changed. I thank her for showing where I went wrong so that I was able to go back and fix the mistakes. While looking for a second, non-APA, style blog I was able to find that Isaak's post very helpful. By reading his style, one that differs from my own, I was able to realize certain similarities between our two style, but as well the differences. By reviewing both of these separate writing styles, I found that it is important to realize that all of these styles have very similar qualities, but also many differing qualities as well. Although I am still lacking in two more needed sources, due to lack of social media based sources/commentary, I was able to fix my citations to the best of my abilities for you, the reader, to understand better.
