...HBS CASE Guide to Harvard Referencing University of Hertfordshire Hertfordshire Business School Centre for Academic Skills Enhancement (CASE) Harvard Referencing Guide This updated guide has been produced by CASE Academic Advisers to promote accurate Harvard referencing in the Business School. Harvard referencing style has many varieties. This version has been developed to ensure conformity with the basic Harvard referencing conventions and in relation to feedback from HBS lecturers and students. Accurate referencing is ESSENTIAL because: 1) Your work must be ‘evidenced' with references to appropriate academic theory and practitioner experience. 2) Your reader must be able to see which ideas and words are your own and which are not. 3) Your lecturer must be able to check your sources and see which ones you have used to support your assertions. 4) Your lecturer needs to see if you have read and understood course material and how you have used the work of others to develop your own ideas. 5) Other readers might want to find and read some of the sources you have used. 6) If you do not reference, you might be accused of stealing the work/ideas of others - this is plagiarism. Revised: 03/10/14 1 © HBS CASE, 2014. HBS CASE Guide to Harvard Referencing You should note that Harvard is a modern ‘author-date’ referencing system and should not be used in the same document with the older numerical /footnote systems that use numbers in the text and...

...Qualitative Design Assessment : Research Problem (750 words) STUDENT NAME: | STUDENT ID: | PLEASE DO NOT RE-FORMAT THIS TEMPLATE Please note: this assignment is 750 words so only that word count will be marked. The 750 word count includes in-text references but excludes the Reference List. (1) Introduction Care can be defined in terms of who delivers the care or the quality of care. Informal care is provided by the assistance of family and friends, while formal care can be thought of as government programs such as Home and Care Community Packages. For older adults, these kinds of care programs are “provided in the person’s own home, in special living accommodations, or in a mixture of these two” (From, Johansson, & Athlin 2009). People over the age of 65 years are defined as older adults (Ables et al. 1998). And apart from disabilities, older adults generally receive care in the area of instrumental daily activities. Instrumental daily activities include “shopping, meal preparation, housekeeping, laundry, managing finances, taking medications, and using transportation” (Jarvis, 2012, p. 833). Although the quality of care received is subjective, a study by From, Johansson , and Athlin (2009), showed that there is “a considerable amount of research reported on what constitutes good quality in the care of older people in a community setting, from the point of view of caregivers, relatives, and older adults”. Good quality care consists of being able to...

...5. My Service Encounter Essay Reflections Through the course of my service encounter essay, I feel that I have learnt many new things about services marketing and have improved a variety of my personal skills as well as developing many new skills. This essay has really made me more aware of the amount of interactions that I have with services on a daily basis and the role that they play within my life. Also, the fact that services, on their own, account for more than 70% of our nations GDP really outlines the importance that there is on developing effective marketing strategies. 5.1 One of the most important factors that I can take from this essay is the importance of building relationships between the customer and the firm through marking techniques. One of the main reasons for failure within services firms is the fact that they concentrate far too much on initially attracting customers and not enough emphasis on customer retention. When I enter the business world I will ensure that I pay huge attention toward building relationships with my customers and this will enable me to sustain constant growth of sales through an extensive customer base. I have also been able to understand the importance of the service environment toward the perceptions of the customers. I think that in the future I will pay much more attention to the environment that I am being given a service within and the effect that various emotional cues and aspects have on me as a customer so that I can apply...
