...CHAPTER THREE: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 3.0 Research approach This chapter will illustrate the way the research has been conducted by presenting the methodologies used. The technicalities if conducting this research will be described in detail. Central issues such as the method of research and the nature of the research will be highlighted. The study will implement the Delphi research technique. The reason why the researcher has considered this as appropriate is because it is non-experimental and there is no manipulation of variables, since it is simply an exploration of the opinion of the experts in the field of the study (William, Donnelly, & Arora, 2015). The researchers seek to gain insight into the processes of providing community based programs in the state of Virginia to help at risk children. In order to accomplish the research objectives and address the research questions accordingly, this research will utilize primary and secondary sources of data collection. Primary sources will provide the data for the study, while secondary sources will add understanding to the topic area thorough providing supplementary information to the primary design (Hammersley & Traianou, 2012). The primary data will be gathered from conducting a survey. 3.1. Research methodology 3.2.1. The Delphi technique The intention of this study is to identify appropriate solutions for at risk children in Virginia. To achieve this, it is essential for one to gain perspectives...

Made up organizations are not acceptable. Fill out this worksheet by answering these questions in complete sentences with citations (for both direct quotes and paraphrased material as you support your answers). The cells will expand to make room for the detail required. Please do not use bold font in your answers. | Give a short background of the issue, opportunity, or problem facing a real organization of your choice: Apple continues to lose valuable smartphone market share to Android. Apple’s market share of the smartphone dropped from 17% to 13% in the last quarter while Android continues to dominate with a 79% market share (Pimentel, 2013). One of the glaring reasons for the loss in market share is that Apple has not introduced any new innovations to the smartphone lineup for over a year (Pepitone, 2013). The competition has been able to release new products much faster than Apple. | What is your primary research question? Why has Apple’s market share dropped from 17% to 13% in the last quarter? | * What is your primary hypothesis? If Apple implements new innovations to the future iPhone lineup, then the market share value will increase in the following quarter. | * What is your independent variable for this study? Why? * * The independent variable would be the new innovations...

...Pestalozzi was an 18th century educational reformer who believed that every child has the innate ability to develop emotionally, intellectually and physically when given education. Another belief of his is that true learning and development of a skill takes place best when a child is participating in an activity that requires the particular skill instead of the traditional passive form of education. (Brühlmeier, A. 2010) His philosophy basically states that every child has the capacity to develop holistically through education. I find this to be true as this is basis on which modern education systems function and it has been proving that the provision of education can develop a well-rounded individual regardless of the child’s family background or economic status. With regards to the different methods that facilitate learning, I find that it is especially essential to incorporate hands on activities that through completing, teach the child a certain skill or concept. This not only makes the child an active participant in his learning but also gives him the opportunity to use his senses in unison with his intellect, which I believe develops the cognitive ability. After observing some of the children in my class who are mostly three year olds, I’ve come to realize that they learn through experience and play. When they are taken out for outdoor activities, they learn to run carefully by previous experiences of falling. They also learn how to grip a toy and throw it across...

Pachamanova, David P. Kopcso Mathematics and Science Division, Babson College, Wellesley, Massachusetts 02457 {dpachamanova@babson.edu, kopcso@babson.edu} T his article illustrates how simulation can be used in the classroom for modeling customer behavior in the context of customer lifetime value estimation. Operations research instructors could use this exercise to introduce multiperiod spreadsheet simulation models in a business setting that is of great importance in practice, and the simulation approach to teaching this subject could be of interest also to marketing and accounting instructors. At Babson College, the spreadsheet simulation exercise is part of an integrated one-case teaching day of the marketing, accounting, and operations research disciplines in the full-time MBA program, but the exercise is directly transferable to stand-alone courses as well. In our experience, students have felt empowered by the ability to incorporate their ideas about customer behavior directly into customer lifetime value models, and have appreciated the ease with which simulation enables them to obtain intuition about the sensitivity of their estimates to different assumptions.

In creating the brand of you, how do you decide what to tell, how to tell it, and what to leave out? If given the task of introducing your personal brand through writing, what specific characteristics or attributes of yourself would you share? What stories would serve to provide the greatest impact? What memories would be the most telling in introducing who you are? Though we’ll work to answer these questions throughout the week, let's do a concrete exercise to get started: First, in seven words, tell us who you are and what you do. Try to draft a phrase that serves as our introduction to you (see examples below). Place this phrase in the subject line of your response post and then provide us with details to show us how this title represents your personal brand. Using vivid, concrete, descriptive words, share an example, anecdote, or scenario that brings your personal brand to life for your audience and provides an impression of who you are.
