...1.2 Case Study: Whither an MBA at Strutledge By: Ashley Tinkham 1.2 Case Study: Whither an MBA at Strutledge Tinkham, 1 President of Strutledge, After reviewing the Board of Regents’ plan and reasons behind the desire to implement an MBA program at Strutledge I have determined there to be a lack of information to make a decision at this time. The information to make a supportive decision on whether to implement an MBA program is not sufficient enough and increases the risks of failure of the program. Failure or an unsuccessful implementation of an MBA program at Strutledge can be catastrophic to the reputation of the school. Thus making the situation of rising costs and decreasing enrollment worse. The Board of Regents could be on the right track of implementing a MBA program to attract more students but this can only be determined through data. The question that truly needs to be answered is if the area needs or desires a MBA program and only if the answer is yes to that question should the idea of implementing an MBA program be explored as an option. My suggestion is that the Board of Regents organize their thoughts around why they think an MBA program would be beneficial to Strutledge. From what I can gather an MBA program would help to attract students who have already graduated from their undergraduate studies and are looking for more, but how else would it benefit Strutledge? When considering implementing...

...Case Study Question 1 What is a Case Study? “A case study is an observational method that provides a description of an individual” (Cozby & Bates, 2012). The sample size in a case study usually only consists of a single person or organization, but by design only studies one single social phenomenon. They typically use field-related research to produce qualitative data and help to prepare for future qualitative research. Question 2 What are Some Reasons for Using a Case Study Approach? Case studies are useable within the social sciences to help explain rare circumstances or behaviors. In the world of music, the ability to name correctly and consistently an audible pitch without relating it to any other pitches is an extremely coveted talent. One case study by Lucinda Pearl Boggs (1907) provided qualitative data on a participant known as Miss C. Disinukes, who possessed the gift of perfect pitch. Boggs discovered that Miss Disinukes began learning about music at an extremely young age, and that she had very talented, musical grandparents. This research sparked further quantitative research to test whether having early musical education aids in the development of perfect pitch. Question 3 What are Some Advantages and Disadvantages of Using this Approach? Like pilot studies, case studies are very helpful in exploring a topic on a smaller scale initially and beginning a larger product using the data gathered in the case study. For example, a researcher may be studying...

...strongly believe that there are multiple perspectives to be uncovered. Qualitative researchers focus on the study of social phenomena and on giving voice to the feelings and perceptions of the participants under study. This is based on the belief that knowledge is derived from the social setting and that understanding social knowledge is a legitimate scientific process. The following are the key characteristics of qualitative research: • Studies are carried out in a naturalistic setting. • Researchers ask broad research questions designed to explore, interpret, or understand the social context. • Participants are selected through nonrandom methods based on whether the individuals have information vital to the questions being asked. • Data collection techniques involve observation and interviewing that bring the researcher in close contact with the participants. • The researcher is likely to take an interactive role where she or he gets to know the participants and the social context in which they live. • Hypotheses are formed afterthe researcher begins data collection and are modified throughout the study as new data are collected and analyzed. • The study reports data in narrative form. How does Rayna’s study fit into the description provided for qualitative research? At this point, you might want to reflect on why Rayna would want to choose a qualitative study to examine her questions.

...encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (January 2012) In the social sciences and life sciences, a case study (or case report) is a descriptive, exploratory or explanatory analysis of a person, group or event. An explanatory case study is used to explore causation in order to find underlying principles.[1][2] Case studies may be prospective (in which criteria are established and cases fitting the criteria are included as they become available) or retrospective (in which criteria are established for selecting cases from historical records for inclusion in the study). Thomas[3] offers the following definition of case study: "Case studies are analyses of persons, events, decisions, periods, projects, policies, institutions, or other systems that are studied holistically by one or more methods. The case that is the subject of the inquiry will be an instance of a class of phenomena that provides an analytical frame — an object — within which the study is conducted and which the case illuminates and explicates." Another suggestion is that case study should be defined as a research strategy, an empirical inquiry that investigates a phenomenon within its real-life context. Case study research can mean single and multiple case studies, can include quantitative evidence, relies on multiple sources of evidence, and benefits from the prior development of theoretical propositions. Case studies should not be confused with qualitative research and they can be based on any mix of quantitative...

...Case Study Review: U.S. DOT ARRA Website Vulnerabilities Executive Summary The United States experienced an economic shock, commonly referred to as the “Great Recession”, in 2008 that resulted in the most job losses in any year since WWII. Payrolls plummeted, home values dove, and slumps were experienced in almost every sector of the economy. The administration of President Bush had agreed to provide federal loans to prop up the automobile industry and President-elect Obama inherited an economy in collapse. In 2009, the newly elected President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) into law. The Act provided stimulus spending in infrastructure, health, energy, education, unemployment insurance, social welfare programs, and many other areas of government interest. To address concerns from political opposition to that Act, ARRA included strong provisions governing transparency of the spending of taxpayer money. ARRA funds would be dispensed with strong requirements that taxpayers be able to monitor how their tax money is being spent. A major beneficiary of the stimulus funds was the Department of Transportation. To address the transparency issue, the department established a number of websites supported by servers and databases that the public could access to monitor the spending of their tax dollars. The DOT’s expanded web interface inherently exposed it to greater risk. This case study reviews an audit of that risk, the department’s shortfalls...

...ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION Vol. 28, No. 1 2013 pp. 77–92 American Accounting Association DOI: 10.2308/iace-50298 Going Concern Designations and GAAP versus Non-GAAP Earnings Metrics James L. Bierstaker, Thomas F. Monahan, and Michael F. Peters ABSTRACT: Many students have not spent much time studying or contemplating the importance of non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) earnings to the ‘‘Street.’’ Based on the facts of an actual company and utilizing the financial information drawn from this company’s 10-K and Earnings Release, this case introduces students to the strengths and weaknesses of GAAP and non-GAAP earnings measures, and why the Street might be more interested in cash and recurring earnings in attempting to predict movements in stock price. It also provides the instructor with an opportunity to discuss the dangers of allowing firms to emphasize earnings in their press releases that are not defined by an external authoritative body (such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB]), and how this can hurt the consistency and reliability of reporting. This is an important discussion, since regulators have recently formally proposed to include non-GAAP measures in their overhaul of the auditor reporting model (Public Company Accounting Oversight Board [PCAOB] 2011). The case also familiarizes students with current auditing guidelines dealing with the going concern decision and the potential role that non-GAAP earnings can play in this decision...

Achievement of Black Caribbean pupils: good practice in Lambeth schools. British Educational Research Journal 31(4), 481-508. A Critique. This paper is a critique of F Demie’s ‘Achievement of Black Caribbean pupils: good practice in Lambeth schools’, which is an interpretive study by Feyisa Demie Jan McKenley, Chris Power, and Louise Ishani. The LEA provided the funding for this research project. The aim of the research according to Demie was to ‘Identify a number of significant common themes for success in raising the achievement of Caribbean heritage pupils’. In order to analyse these achievement rates, Researchers looked at good practise in Lambeth schools. Demie does not provide the reader with any clues in regard to the researchers’ backgrounds and qualifications. One cannot learn from the report under analysis whether Demie et al were LEA employees with a task to prepare a ground for future policy making. Demie et al chose to study 10 primary and 3 secondary schools in the Lambeth region, where the rates of Black Caribbean performance were reported to be above national and LEA (Local Education Authority) averages. The aim of the investigation was to identify the factors enabling pupils of Black Caribbean origin to achieve high standards in British schools, and to track ‘significant common themes for success in raising the achievement’...

Employees are mostly college and high school students e. Lack of respect for managers. f. No incentive to increase motivation. In the case study Perfect Pizzeria, the area supervisor has many problems that need his attention. The largest appears to be the organization. In this case study I will assume that the area supervisor has the authority to affect change within his organization (i.e. he is the franchise owner). Being in an area with few job opportunities should give him the perfect opportunity to recruit bright, ambitious, and motivated people to staff his pizzerias. How can the area supervisor change his organization to achieve a more fluid corporate culture? I think this change can be achieved by human resource changes, structure changes, motivational changes, and reward for good performance as well as accountability for poor performance. Each one of these areas will require a change from the corporate level. For the sake of my case study I am going to assume that the area supervisor (franchise owner) can lobby to achieve this change within the organization. The first area to look...

...Case Study 2 – Mastering Teacher Leadership Business Research Methods 1 This case presents a situation that is quite common in the education field and addresses the responses by institutions to new legislation imposed upon them. As is often the case, the legislators do not address the impacts to organizations, leaving the actual implementation to the end user (i.e., public and private schools). In this particular case, Wittenburg University (WU) is faced with the decision of whether to develop and deliver a Master of Arts degree in classroom leadership. 1.) Build the management-research question hierarchy for this opportunity. The initial step in the research is the creation of a management-research question hierarchy, to formalize the process. For this case study, the management-research hierarchy is presented in Appendix A. The purpose of this hierarchy is to examine the various stages of the research question and present a logical sequence of increasing focus that will allow the development of a survey instrument that can be delivered to potential program applicants. The initial stage is to identify and state the management dilemma, which in this case is the impending new legislation. The State of Ohio intends to require all licenced teachers to have, or complete, a master’s degree before obtaining their second licensure to teach. Given that this is new legislation and WU is not obligated to offer a program, the “management dilemma” actually presents an opportunity...
