...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...

Please be sure to create this portion of the final proposal with all elements in mind as you prepare this portion. Final Course Project Proposal (22%) You have been hired as the new protection officer for ESL Inc. ESL Inc. has a large facility over 900 employees can be in at any given time. The organization has core hours from 8 AM to 6 PM but workers arrive at the organization as early as 6 AM and leave as late as 9 PM. The organization has 3 guards that work core hours only, posted at the front entrance to the building. Employees have badges that have their picture and key cards that let them in the building. The security guards open the door and check badges in the event a key card does not work. There is no security to prevent users from getting on the grounds, the front of the organization is off a major highway, and the back of the plant is backs up to acres of undeveloped woods.

...Unit 2 Need identification The Bank of Boston Official from the Bank of Boston recently discuss how the firm create a effective, all encompassing request for proposal. Kevin Roden, director of consumer banking system, George Swick, project manager of retail workstation infrastructure, indicate that their focus is on business requirements. They conduct a cost-benefit analysis and examine available products and services only after they ensure that a project will meet business requirements. If the project does not directly support the business, it is not pursued. The Bank of Boston had a goal: improve sale and customer service and increase the range of products, such as mutual funds and small business loans, in the bank’s branches. Given their resources and availability resources, they found that it would be more cost effective to outsource much of the work. So they developed two comprehensive requests for proposal (RFPs). The first was for procurement, and installation of the system. The second was for support and maintenance. There were 11 responses to the two RFPs, which were reviewed by more than twenty of various technology and business committees within the bank. IBM and Anderson Consulting were chosen to help with the procurement, deployment, and installation, and IBM was chosen to help with the support and maintenance. The Bank of Boston Branches will be getting a complete facelift: new client/server-based local area net works, new customer service and sales applications...

...Project In July, 2006, the Board voted to add to its agenda a project on lease accounting. The project will be conducted jointly with the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and is expected to result in the publication of a joint discussion paper in 2008. The project will reconsider all aspects of lease accounting and is expected to fundamentally revise the way lease contracts are recognized in the financial statements of lessees and lessors. The Board directed the staff to establish a working group of individuals with significant experience and expertise in lease accounting to assist the staff and the Board with this project. (http://www.ifrs.org/Current+Projects/IASB+Projects/Leases/Meeting+Summaries+and+Observer+Notes/IASB+July+2006.htm) To explain the reason for adding the project to the agenda, I find two paragraphs in Exposure Draft that “Leasing is an important source of finance. Therefore, it is important that lease accounting should provide users of financial statements with a complete and understandable picture of an entity’s leasing activities. The existing accounting models for leases require lessees to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases. However, those models have been criticized for failing to meet the needs of users of financial statements because they do not provide a faithful representation of leasing transactions. In particular they omit relevant information about rights and obligations that meet the definitions...

...the discussion paper Preliminary Views on Financial Statement Presentation. Its purpose is to provide a first insight into the major ideas presented in the discussion paper. The snapshot has been prepared by staff and is not an official technical document of the IASB or the FASB. Project objective: The objective is to create a standard that requires entities to organise financial statements in a manner that clearly communicates an integrated financial picture of the entity. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) are undertaking this project jointly. The discussion paper (DP) is the first step towards the creation of a standard. In the DP the boards explain the issue and present their initial ideas on the topic. The objective is to receive feedback from interested parties early in the process. Process stage: Comment deadline: The DP is open for public comment until 14 April 2009. Next step: The boards will consider responses to the DP and then develop an exposure draft (ED) that sets out a specific proposal in the form of a proposed standard. The boards expect to publish an ED in 2010. Why are we doing the project? Financial statements are important. The boards believe that a common format for financial statement presentation will improve communication between users and preparers of financial statements. Analysts and investors have long raised concerns about some issues in the way entities...

...Acquisitions Strayer University 1. What actions would take in the planning process? Explain how you would go about developing the statement of need? Give examples of the information required and factors to be considered. Acquisition planning is a comprehensive plan coordinating the efforts of all parties responsible for the program in fulfilling the agency’s need in a timely manner, and at a reasonable cost. Since a program typically involves the efforts of many people and usually results in one or more contractual actions, an acquisition plan will guide the work of many people through one or more contractual actions. The plan shall address all the technical, business, management, and other significant considerations that will control the program throughout the investment life cycle. The plan shall be brief but comprehensive (Engel beck, 2002). I would ensure that all other considerations that influence the acquisition decision, such as which items are to be developed or produced in-house and which procured from outside the immediate organization. I would ensure the process demanded teamwork and that all responsible elements involved developed, coordinated, and integrated their prescribed body of knowledge into a comprehensive acquisition plan (i.e. Logistics, engineering, production, etc…). In order to develop the statement of need, mission needs result from the need to develop a capability, to improve an existing capability, or to exploit an opportunity to reduce cost....

...Project Plan Proposal Part One PM/586 Project Quality Management January 20, 2014 James Aiken Project Plan Proposal Part One Introduction The selection process that this Georgia- based Head Start Program holds the focal point of this project proposal. As of the moment, selecting the beneficiaries of this project or program is based on a lottery system. In a circumstance where your child is selected, they are then permitted and encouraged to attend the head start program at no extra cost. On the contrary, if a child is not selected in the lottery, he could still join the program; but his family will be obliged to pay for the program at its own expense. This proposal aims to design a head start program that is all-inclusive and free. This points out to a program that involves all children in state of Georgia where it is originally headquartered. Project Approach and Methodology Used Essentially Project Management is characterized as a well- structured and planned approach towards efficient implementation of the set of activities intended for the entire project (Mutt, 2010). To be able to perform this paper, I prefer to utilize traditional approaches such as initiation, design or planning, execution, close monitoring and generalization after completion. Project Scope Many families claim that, no doubt, their children have the desire to attend the program but lack the financial potential to pay for it. It can be noted that kindergarten years serves as the...
