Getting Started

“Upcycling is the process of repurposing old content into something new and improved” (Roeder, 2021, para. 2).  It is not that your blog is incredibly old, but the intention is the same. Sounds like great stewardship!

This assignment will provide you with information on how to capitalize on the time and talent you have previously invested in your doctoral research and writing, specifically this course, so that you can produce new, valuable content with efficiency and effectiveness. Or, as the world of writing might opine….with craftsmanship.

Background Information

The DeVoe Report was a semi-annual magazine published by the DeVoe School of Business at Indiana Wesleyan University featuring strategies and advice from today’s frontrunners and experts in business. Its purpose was to empower and enrich current and future business leaders with relevant and timely content. Contributors to The DeVoe Report brought their expertise and perspectives from businesses all over the world, so readers could be challenged, enlightened and encouraged.

Writing an article ‘for publication’ in The DeVoe Report is a unique opportunity to provide fresh, vibrant, and relevant content in concisely written form for the purpose of empowering and enriching management and leaders at all levels of the organization. Your prior written Pop-Scholar blog will be developed into a ‘publishable’ popular journal article.
