Written Assignment (Case): Caught in a Squeeze Heather Lopez is a product development specialist at a telecommunications company. For the past seven years she has worked as a member of a product development team composed of people from five different departments within the company. Heather previously worked full time In the marketing department. Her primary responsibilities were to research the market potential of an idea for a new product. The product development team is now working on a product that will integrate a company’s printers and copiers. Heather’s previous position in the marketing department was a satisfactory fit for her lifestyle. Heather thought she was able to take care of her family responsibilities and her job without sacrificing one for the other. As Heather explains, ‘ I worked about 45 predictable hours in my other job. My hours were essentially 8:30 am to 4:30 pm with a little work at night and on Saturdays at home. ‘Brad, my husband, and I had a smooth-working arrangement for sharing the responibility for getting our son, Christopher off the school and picking him up from the after-school child-care center. Brad is a devoted accountant, so he understands the importance of giving high priority to a career yet still being a good family person. In her new position as a member of the product development team, Heather is encountering some unanticipated demands. Three weeks ago, at 3pm on a Tuesday, Tyler Watson, Heather’s team leader, anounced an emergency meeting to discuss a budget problem with the new product. The meeting would start at 4 and probably end at 6:30. ‘Don’t worry, folks, said the team leader, ‘if it looks like we are going past 6:30, we will order some Chinese food.’ With a look of panic on her face Heather responded to Tyler. ‘I can’t make the meeting. Christopher will be expecting me at about 5 at the child care center. My husband is out of town and the center closes at 6 sharp. So count me out of today’s meeting.’ Tyler said, I said that this is an emergency meeting and we need input from all members. You need to organize your personal life better to be a contributing member of this team. But do what you have to at least his once.’ Heather chose to leave the office at 4:30 pm so she could pick up Christopher. The next day Tyler did not comment on her absence. However, he gave her a copy of the minutes and asked for her input. The budget problem surfaced again one week later. Top-level management asked the group to reduce the cost of the new productand its initial marketing costs by 15 percent. Tyler said to the team on Friday morning, ‘We have until Monday morning to arrive at a reduced cost structure on our product development. I am divding up the project into segments. If we meet as a team Saturday morning at 8, we should get the job done by 6 in the evening. Get a good night’s rest so we can start fresh tomorrow morning. Breakfast and lunch will be on the company.’ Heather could feel stress overwhelming her body as she thought to herself, ‘Christopher is playing in the finals of his little league tomorrow moring at 10. Brad has made dinner reservations for 6, so we can make it to The Lion King at 8 pm. Should I tell Tyler he is beingunreasonable? Should I quit? Should I tell Christopher and Brad that our special occasion is less important than a Saturday business meeting?’ Respond to the following 3 questions in detail: What type of conflict is heather facing? What should heather do to resolve her conflict with respect to family and work responsibilities? What might the company do to help deal with the type of conflict Heather is facing? Or should the company not consider Heather’s dilemma to be their problem?

Reference List: Basic Rules
Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here.
This resource, revised according to the 7th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (7th ed.).
Note: Because the information on this page pertains to virtually all citations, we’ve highlighted one important difference between APA 6 and APA 7 with an underlined note written in red.
Formatting a Reference List
Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay; label this page “References” in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.
Basic Rules for Most Sources
- All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
- All authors’ names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be provided first).
- Authors’ first and middle names should be written as initials.
- For example, the reference entry for a source written by Jane Marie Smith would begin with “Smith, J. M.”
- If a middle name isn’t available, just initialize the author’s first name: “Smith, J.”
- Give the last name and first/middle initials for all authors of a particular work up to and including 20 authors (this is a new rule, as APA 6 only required the first six authors). Separate each author’s initials from the next author in the list with a comma. Use an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name. If there are 21 or more authors, use an ellipsis (but no ampersand) after the 19th author, and then add the final author’s name.
- Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
- For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
- When referring to the titles of books, chapters, articles, reports, webpages, or other sources, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns.
- Note again that the titles of academic journals are subject to special rules. See section below.
- Italicize titles of longer works (e.g., books, edited collections, names of newspapers, and so on).
- Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as chapters in books or essays in edited collections.
Basic Rules for Articles in Academic Journals
- Present journal titles in full.
- Italicize journal titles.
- Maintain any nonstandard punctuation and capitalization that is used by the journal in its title.
- For example, you should use PhiloSOPHIA instead of Philosophia, or Past & Present instead of Past and Present.
- Capitalize all major words in the titles of journals. Note that this differs from the rule for titling other common sources (like books, reports, webpages, and so on) described above.
- This distinction is based on the type of source being cited. Academic journal titles have all major words capitalized, while other sources’ titles do not.
- Capitalize the first word of the titles and subtitles of journal articles, as well as the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and any proper nouns.
- Do not italicize or underline the article title.
- Do not enclose the article title in quotes.
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
- Deep blue: The mysteries of the Marianas Trench.
- …but you would write the journal title as follows:
- Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
Please note: While the APA manual provides examples of how to cite common types of sources, it does not cover all conceivable sources. If you must cite a source that APA does not address, the APA suggests finding an example that is similar to your source and using that format. For more information, see page 282 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed.
