...the government and numerous civic society groups. Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s nine-year term saw the birth and growth of one of her foremost anti-poverty programs – the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program – popularly known as the 4Ps. Pantawid Pamilya is a conditional cash transfer program that provides incentives for poor families to invest in their future by ensuring that mothers and children avail of healthcare and that children go to school. It is a human development program of the national government that invests in the health and education of poor households, particularly of children aged 0-14 years old. The program aims to provide social assistance and social development to its beneficiaries. By providing opportunity for the development of the young, it envisions to prevent the vicious transmission of the cycle of poverty. Pantawid Pamilya helps to fulfill the country’s commitment to meet the Millennium Development Goals. The aforementioned program has been around for quite some time but there has no way of telling what impact its much vaunted anti-poverty program has on its beneficiaries and the communities. No single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting the economic status. The aim of this research is to determine whether or not the children of beneficiary-families have gained any improvement in their health, nutrition, and to their economic status in...

...United States Air Force Research Report February 7, 2011 Executive Summary The United States Air Force has been able to carry on a great tradition of air supremacy and advanced technology. They were born in September 1947, when they separated from the Army Air Core, and became their own unit (www.peterson.af.mil). Providing for the troops that serve always has been a top priority of the Air Force. The Air Force is run in management form, just like any large organization, or small business. It has a rank structure, where tasks are delegated down from the ranking Officers through the Enlisted Core. After significant evaluation, I have researched and identified the following six categories necessary for the Air Force to preserve satisfaction and success from their troops: 1. Declare existing organizational goals through a firm mission statement. 2. Maintain the highest ethical standards. 3. Uphold communication through the rank structure through surveys. 4. Reinforce the importance of training for top performance. 5. Maintain the Air Force’s principal focus on the Airmen’s well-being. 6. Constantly improve from research methods to stay a premier organization. The first and second groups support a proven successful vision that has worked for more than 64 years. The Air Force’s Core Values are what helps to keep their Mission Statement so pertinent and gives them a strong backbone to sustain the high ethical...

...Marketing and Audience Research Research Report Word Count: 1800 Executive Summary The topic of this report is the predictors of Online Retail Shopping. It centres on the question of what are the determinants of Australian consumers’ attitudes toward online retail shopping. A sample size of depth interviews will be analysed, cross referenced and used to infer behavioural patterns. The target audience is English speaking adults in Australia who have previously engaged in online retail shopping. 1.1 Importance of the Research Online shopping is gaining exponential momentum in modern society, and empirical evidence indicates this trend will only continue to grow (Hooson 2011). Given that marketing ultimately drives every product, service, idea and attempt to influence consumer behaviour – it is an invaluable tool for any company. In order to effectively market your product, research into the wants, needs and behaviour of your target audience is integral to the development of your businesses collateral and positioning. Marketing Research is one of the few tools that allows researchers to get primary evidence into what actually shapes the buying behaviour of consumers; as well as opinions, attitudes and beliefs about certain brands or products. Once accumulated, this information can be used to discern the most effective means of marketing. Considering the number of industries with high barriers to entry, substantial costs in establishment, and growing competition...

...Graduate School Writing a research proposal for a PhD or MPhil application: A guide for potential students Some Schools and Departments may require you to write an outline research proposal and submit this with your application to study for a PhD or MPhil. The content and structure of the proposal will inevitably vary depending on the discipline area and the nature of the project you wish to pursue. In some cases you may be provided with some guidance in terms of what information should be included in the proposal and, if this is the case, you should read this carefully and follow it. However, where this is not the case, the general guidance, and suggested headings, provided here should help you to structure and present your ideas clearly in your proposal. Your overall aim is to produce a research proposal that is clear and coherent in every respect. You should therefore avoid the use of overly long sentences and of technical jargon. It is important that the proposed research is realistic and feasible so that the outcomes can be achieved within the scale of a typical research degree programme, which is typically three years full-time for a PhD (or two years for an MPhil). Although you should write the proposal yourself, it is best if you discuss its contents with your proposed supervisor before you submit it. Your research question For most projects there is usually one main question that you would like to address, which can sometimes be broken down into several sub-questions...

These chemicals give people more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if their stress is caused by physical danger.

...The Business Research Process Kelly Van Fossen Business Research / RES351 December 9, 2013 Marcus Sherrill The Business Research Process The business research process is a sequential process involving several clearly defined steps. This paper will illustrate how the process is implemented in a business environment using a real-life example. The business research process involves six stages that include clarifying the research question, research proposal, research design strategy, data collection and preparation, data analysis and interpretation, and research reporting (O’Neil, V.J). The real-life model that will be used for this paper is the case study of evaluating storytelling as a method for training at Wisconsin Electric-Wisconsin Gas Company (O’Neil, V.J.). The theory of storytelling as a method for training versus field training is the motivation for performing the research. They identified the research question (stage 1) as “Is storytelling an effective method for training Wisconsin Electric-Wisconsin Gas?” (O’Neil, V.J.). The research proposal (stage 2) was skipped in this case study. The research design strategy (stage 3) was “to determine the effectiveness of storytelling” (O’Neil, V.J.) in the case study. They used Donald Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation where they identified four primary questions to guide the research. These questions included participant reaction, what was learned from the technical and leadership lessons, was the behavior transferred...

...Semester: 6 Date of Submission: April 27, 2013 Course: Business Research Methods Abstract Do you ever notice what do you watch during the Prime Time; An Indian Drama, or a Turkish one, or any local? Now days, mostly people are inclined towards these Turkish dramas like “Ishq-e-Mamno”, “Fatima Gul” and so many more and are so mesmerized by their outlook that they have started to forget their own culture. This problem was identified by observation and through a survey. We conducted a survey on different age groups like mothers, teenagers (13-18) and minors (8-13). We conducted this research to see the impact of this media on our generation whose minds are so innocent. In back 2001 it was common to view Indian news channels in our country and it was to believe what they say as we don’t have our 1 single news channel but finally from 2003 and onwards Pakistani media and news channel over came this threat. After news channels we had a fever of daily soups to watch again from India and it was common to have knowledge of their rituals. Finally got rid of them and we faced a challenge of foreign content again and this time we had turkey as our opponent. Now a day’s according to the interviews conducted and data collected from our research we concluded that it’s very hard for our people to escape from the web of foreign content Table of Contents Abstract 2 Introduction 4 Literature Review 5 Research Question and Objective 9 Conceptual Framework 9 Selection of...
