Gordon College of Business and Economics University of Idaho Moscow, Idaho USA Jason C. Porter College of Business and Economics University of Idaho Moscow, Idaho USA ABSTRACT The ability to read and understand academic research can be an important tool for practitioners in an increasingly complex accounting and business environment. This guide was developed to introduce students to the world of academic research. It is not intended for PhD students or others who wish to perform academic research. Instead, the guide should make published academic research more accessible and less intimidating so that future practitioners will be able to read empirical research and profitably apply the relevant findings. The guide begins by examining the importance of academic research for practitioners in accounting and next reviews the basics of the research process. With that background in place, we then give some guidelines and helpful hints for reading and evaluating academic papers. This guide has been used for several years to introduce master’s degree students to academic literature in an accounting theory class. After reading this guide and seeing a demonstration presentation by the professor, students have been able to successfully read and discuss research findings. Key words: Understanding empirical research, supplemental...

They were interested in something that would support their systems that were based primarily on Microsoft systems. They wanted collaboration systems that would be easily adapted to by their employees. They wanted a system that would bring “real-time collaboration services, including calendars, schedules, workflow, virtual meeting sites, instant messaging, and virtual conferencing”. Their main system that they adopted, Teamcenter, gave them just that. It was easy to adopt, it was cost effective, and it supported the Microsoft-based IT infrastructure that they operated off of. It also provided them with the form of visual collaboration that they desired, CAD-neutral format. The Teamcenter system gives the user a “customized view” of product information. It lets the user, such as the suppliers and employees, see their work in whatever format suits them, even the CAD-format content such as graphs.

...Case 2 I believe that Starbuck’s strategy has evolved as the strategic vision has evolved. As we know, the company's strategy had evolved from their vision statement. any company should have a goal, only then it could move towards their aim point, which is nothing but their strategy. Starbuck’s strategy adapted as the vision evolved, especially during the transition of being bought by Howard Schultz. The strategy had to shift from a small scale operation of selling beans and espresso roasters to a large scale operation with hundreds of locations that sold coffee beans & equipment while also serving café food to patrons. Coffee is the most important value in Starbuck’s strategy, so they are committed to providing their consumers with top-quality coffee that is ethically sourced, and to improve the lives of the people who grow the beans. The all employees in Starbucks are undoubtedly another value for the company. That’s why Starbucks has a health care plan available for all employees, a stock purchase plan, employee training, and employee recognition. A company can’t live without company, therefor Starbuck is really care about the connect with consumer and try to give them more good service. Starbucks management’s goal was to create the stores to be a place where customers belong and meet with friends. They do this by create a store ambience, having interesting music playing and so on.

...Jim Wells, vice-president for manufacturing of the Northern Airplane Company, is exasperated. His walk through the company’s most important plant this morning has left him in a foul mood. However, he now can vent his temper at Jerry Carstairs, the plant’s production manager, who has just been summoned to Jim’s office. “Jerry, I just got back from walking through the plant and I am very upset.” “What is the problem, Jim?” “Well, you know how much I have been emphasizing the need to cut down on our in-process inventory.” “Yes, we’ve been working hard on that,” responds Jerry. “Well, not hard enough!” Jim raises his voice even higher. “Do you know what I found by the presses?” “No.” “Five metal sheets still wait to be formed into wing sections. And then, right next door at the inspection station, 13 wing sections! The inspector was inspecting one of them, but the other 12 were just sitting there. You know we have a couple hundred thousand dollars tied up in each of those wing sections. So between the presses and the inspection station, we have a few million bucks worth of terribly expensive metal just sitting there. We can’t have that!” The chagrined Jerry Carstairs tries to respond. “Yes, Jim, I am well aware that the inspection station is a bottleneck. It usually isn’t nearly as bad as you found it this morning, but is a bottleneck. Much less so for the presses. You really caught us on a bad morning.” “I sure hope so,” retorts Jim, “but you need to prevent anything nearly...

...Case 1 1. What skills does Black think employees need to work successfully in the area of HR? Case1 – The skills that Black thanks employees need to work successfully in HR is for them to be commercial, challenging, and focused on delivery and excellence. They must also understand change and transformation, excel at operations, and balance tactical and strategic thinking and acting.

BLOCK DIG EXPLAINATION OF EACH LDR WORKING: SENSOR WORKING: As properties are already stated Case1: When no person interrupts the light falling on ldr----:The resistance of ldr is low and hence the base of the transistor doesnot get suffecient voltage to turn on the transistor and hence the collector voltage is almost equal to supply voltage that is 5V in this case. Case2: When a person interrupts the light falling on ldr-----: The resistance of ldr is high and hence transistor switches on and the collector voltage almost becomes equal to zero voltage.

...The reliability and authenticity of the Bible The Bible claims to be the inspired word of God (2 Tim. 3:16, TEV). Yet much controversy and criticism exists over this book. If we are to accept and base our lives on the Bible as the word of God, then we need to have confidence in the reliability and the authenticity of the Bible. That is, we need to have confidence that the Bible is dependable and trustworthy and that what was written did happen. This essay outlines some convincing evidence to prove that this is the case. I will summarize and discuss bibliographical, external and internal evidence which confirms the reliability and authenticity of the bible. One of the first pieces of evidence lies in the uniformity of the message of the Bible. It is a collection of sixty-six books written over a period of approximately fifteen hundred years in three languages on three continents by forty authors. Kings, peasants, educated men, a doctor, a prime minister, a tax collector a rabbi, a fisherman are among the authors (McDowell, 1973). While it discusses numerous issues, and each book has different purposes, the overall themes of creation, the fall of man and redemption are clear throughout (Williams, 2002). Military historian Chauncy Sanders mentions three criteria scholars use in historiography (Williams, 2002). When applied to test whether the scriptures we have are the same as the original documents, that is to test their accuracy, these are manuscript evidence (textual)...
