...Factors Influencing Student’s Enrollment Decisions in Selection of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) Client’s Current Situation: Creighton University’s College of Business has one client, employers. The client is in need of human capital to bring into their companies to make them successful. In order to keep the client happy, the College of Business must help develop this human capital (students) and provide companies with the right people. If the College of Business can do this successfully, there will be a large number of employers, more than there already are, demanding more of the product. The more this demand is driven up, the higher the demand for this supply of students, then price increases and more job opportunities are available with higher salaries. As long as the campus environment is also fitting, than Creighton’s College of Business students are a perfect match. Our client, Creighton’s College of Business, has a strong desire to grow undergraduate enrollment in the College of Business from 650 students to 1000 students. Ideally this increase in students would be “Net New Students”, but would be willing to accept some from other schools. Ultimately, our objective isn’t whether or not we can accomplish this, but how we accomplish growing enrollment (i.e. tuition, positions, quality of classroom, nature of building, competing for the right applicants, competing against the right people, etc)? “Factors Influencing Student’s Enrollment Decisions in Selection...

...2012 National Research Report Why Did They Enroll? The Factors Influencing College Choice An analysis of traditional-aged students What matters to students when deciding where to enroll? There are a variety of factors that influence a student’s decision to enroll. Factors such as cost and the availability of financial aid are universally important at all types of institutions. However, other factors can vary widely by institution type, demographics, class level, and whether the student enrolled at his or her top choice. Every year, hundreds of campuses administer the Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory™ (SSI) to their students. In addition to more than 70 items rated for importance and satisfaction on the general student experience, the SSI includes nine items that address factors in a student’s decision to enroll. During the fall of 2011, more than 55,000 students from more than 100 public and private fouryear and two-year institutions completed the SSI. These students rated the factors to enroll items on a scale of one (meaning not important at all) to seven (very important). This report details the responses from the nationwide pool of data. In particular, this report has a special emphasis on the nearly 22,000 first-year students who responded in order to see which items scored higher with ratings of important or very important (a ranking of six or seven on the answer scale). Comparisons with upperclass students and between students at their first-choice institution...

...Word Count: 480 Discuss whether readiness and restraint factors are likely to be more relevant in influencing the start-up decision of a potential small business owner more than the other characteristics Peacock (2004) is discussing. Peacock suggests that entrepreneurial characteristics formulate a high need for achievement and the inner locus of control to try something uncertain (Peacock 2004, p. 43). Liles theorizes that entrepreneurs start out like many other ambitious individuals, however become people apart due to the external factors of readiness and restraint. (Peacock 2004, p. 46). Burns concludes that few people start up their own business due to the lack of capital and self-doubt, therefore a trigger such as unemployment or the desire to make money is needed (Burns 2002, p. 93). Therefore, readiness and restraint factors must be complimented with the cognitive characteristics identified by Peacock to define entrepreneurship. A person’s readiness requires a specific self-confidence, representing a feeling of mastery, gained through experience, exposure, specific skills, and industry knowledge (Peacock 2009, p. 44). Entrepreneurs must believe that their skillset can meet the perceived demands of the tasks expected in entrepreneurial activity (Gatewood, Shaver & Gartner 1995, p. 385). This suggests that individuals who are successful at getting into business might have skills and abilities that better match the opportunities they face (Gatewood, Shaver &...

...Correlates of Career Decisions Among Children of Overseas Filipino Workers Catherine O. Espero Introduction Decision making is a vital part of an individual's life. It is a complicated process which involves information search and processing to understand available options (Moore, Jensen, & Hauck, 1990, in Rice & Dolgin, 2000). It is during adolescence that an individual needs to make one of the most important decisions, that of choosing a career (O’Hare, 1987, in Rice & Dolgin 2000). During their senior year in high school, students are faced with the dilemma on what they want to do right after graduation: pursue college education, learn a trade by enrolling in technical-vocational program, or work immediately. Whatever career decision the high school seniors eventually make, it is important to determine the career decision making process they undergo. It is also important to know which factors they consider or disregard in their career decisions. At stake in making the right career decision is their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Thus, it is imperative that they choose the occupation that best fits each of them. Majority of the local researches on career decisions and the factors influencing them focus on adolescents. Similarly, the literature and studies on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) usually delve on the economic and social repercussions of overseas employment (Asis, 2004; Nicodemus, 1997). There is no available study regarding the career decisions of the adolescent...

...FACTORS INFLUENCING PENSION MANAGERS’ INVESTMENT DECISION A CASE STUDY OF ZANZIBAR SOCIAL SECURITY FUND (Z.S.S.F) By: ABDULAZIZ M. RAMIA REG. NO: ZU/MBA/0001/12 FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROPOSED SUPERVISOR: DR. MASOUD A Concept Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Master of Business Administration in Finance (MBA- Finance) of Zanzibar University 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 1.1 Introduction In most economies value is presently obtained through a market process where supply meets demand. Here is where finance and financial markets come into play. They provide the tools to optimize the allocation of resources through time and space and to manage risk. Finance is by nature quantitative like economics but it is subject to a large level of risk. It is the measurement of risk and the implementation of decision-making processes based on risk that makes finance a quantitative science and not simply accounting. Pension is a benefit promised to an employee by an employer during employment and is payable on leaving or retiring from the employer’s service. In the developed countries, pension plans are established and managed through creation of trust. In many cases, the fund is invested by the employer and pension is payable from the recurrent revenue of the employer. In general the main purpose of pension is to provide people with an income when they are no longer earning a regular income from employment...
