...Business Research Methods Project On Conjoint Analysis Identifying Key Product Attributes & Product Designing of Mobile Phones Abstract This paper intends to explore consumer preferences for Mobile phones attributes, to determine the optimal combination for consumers, and to provide manufacturers a reference for their marketing strategies. In this study, consumers were divided into several demographics (age, gender, occupation) and individual preferences for various mobile phone attributes were compared. Consumers showed significant demographical difference in their preferences over the combination of mobile phones attributes. The various combination of mobile phone attributes were grouped together. Subjects were asked to rank the 22 product profiles (Pair1 to Pair22) from the most to the least preferred. The variables Pref1 through Pref7 contain the IDs of the associated product profiles, that is, the card IDs. Subject 1, for example, liked pair13 most of all, so PREF1 has the value 13. Analysis of the data is a task that requires the use of command syntax—specifically, the CONJOINT command. The necessary command syntax has been provided in the file conjoint.sps. Literature Review N. Soutar et al. (2008), the study aims to examine its relevance in exploring the trade-offs followers make about leaders. The aim was to have an integrated understanding of leadership. The leaders were assessed on the eight leader attributes obtained from three focus groups...

...Date: _______________ ABSTRACT Information systems’ planning is often costly to implement and maintain; however, sound planning practices may reduce expenses associated with the development processes. A Formal methodical approach to systems analysis, requirements engineering, systems design, development, and construction may offer a reduction in development and certain aspects of life cycle support expenses. Corporate expenses may reach approximately 5% of their gross income on information systems development and support. This equates to approximately $15,000,000 to $35,000,000 annually (Whitemarsh Information Systems Corp. 2008, p.). Information systems may cost significantly less. In comparison, information systems, contingent upon other factors such as size of the company, and complexity of the information system cost may range anywhere from $2,000,000 to $10,000,000 per system. Corporate leadership clearly has a strong influence upon information system expenditures and may have unrealistic expectations associated with anticipated return on investments in information systems. This research paper explorers the need for a formalized approach to systems development and the methodologies available to the developer. Additionally, this research...

...Chapter 1 Introduction Standard aircraft design processes have traditionally been divided in the following stages []: * Feasibility studies: design needs to satisfy prescribed performance requirements along with other geographical and cost constraints, * Conceptual design: design on paper or on computer, involves analysis tools covering performance evaluation in different maneuvers, * Preliminary design: laying of proper moulds for building airframes, * Prototype building: finally arriving at a scaled down prototype, * Wind tunnel testing: on the developed prototype for aerodynamics database generation, * Flight testing: * Stability and control augmentation * Certification: requires an airplane to satisfy certain handling and flying qualities requirements. This design process thus have nearly always left the stability and dynamics aspects to the end, where six degrees of freedom of motion are used to evaluate flying and handling qualities of aircraft. Finally, if these criteria do not match with the required satisfaction level of pilot or the industry standards, design of control systems are needed. To our knowledge (due to proprietary nature of the trade) and based on text book information, no analysis tools has been developed in the past for aircraft design which uses six degree of freedom equations of rigid aircraft motion right from the beginning. This is primarily due to the multi-objective iterative nature of the problems one needs to...

...A brief overview of 3 Methodologies for comparison Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) • Developed by the UK government in 1982; mandatory use for some Civil Service applications; now mature and widely used • Use supported by many CASE tools (including Select) • Builds on the traditional Systems Development Life Cycle and has clearly defined stages; it thus lends itself to project management techniques • Provides development staff with detailed guidelines, requiring, for example, the completion of pre-printed documents • Data driven ; based on assumption that systems have an underlying data structure that changes little over time – however, later versions of SSADM have placed increasing emphasis on user • Thorough quality assurance: deliverables at every stage reviewed in structured walkthroughs and signed off by users • Separates the logical view of the system from the physical • Provides 3 main views of the system, the Data Flow Diagram, the Entity Relationship Diagram and the Entity Life History, which can be cross-checked one against the other. Rapid Applications Development (RAD) • The name speaks for itself – need for RAD driven by rapidly changing business needs • Can be viewed as an example of the spiral model for systems development. The spiral model acknowledges the stages that form the SDLC but builds into each stage iteration, prototyping and extensive user involvement. • Prototyping may be of whole system...

...| 1. Do discriminatory attitudes to older workers at work affect their retirement intentions? Type: Research paper Author(s): Pierre-Jean Messe Source: International Journal of Manpower Volume: 33 Issue: 4 2012AbstractPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether employers’ attitudes towards older workers, especially regarding promotions, really affect their retirement intentions, distinguishing between men and women. Design/methodology/approach – First, the author uses the 1992 wave of the Health and Retirement Study to estimate, through a Fields decomposition, the relative contribution of the feeling of an older worker to be discriminated against regarding promotions; and to explain the self-reported probability to work full time after 62, decomposing by gender. Second, using the two first waves of HRS, the author removes any bias due to time-constant unobserved heterogeneity, to test whether the individual feeling of being passed over for promotion may be misreported, owing to a strong preference for leisure. Finally, the author examines the effect of a change in this variable over time on the intentions to exit early. Findings – The Fields decomposition shows that feeling passed over for promotion plays a non-negligible role to predict retirement plans but only for women. In addition, using panel data allows a misreporting bias to be exhibited that may lead to underestimating of the negative effect of discriminatory practices towards older workers on their...

...Data Warehousing Methodologies Using a common set of attributes to determine which methodology to use in a particular data warehousing project. DATA INTEGRATION TECHNOLOGIES have experienced explosive growth in the last few years, and data warehousing has played a major role in the integration process. A data warehouse is a subjectoriented, integrated, time-variant, and nonvolatile collection of data that supports managerial decision making [4]. Data warehousing has been cited as the highest-priority post-millennium project of more than half of IT executives. A large number of data warehousing methodologies and tools are available to support the growing market. However, with so many methodologies to choose from, a major concern for many firms is which one to employ in a given data warehousing project. In this article, we review and compare several prominent data warehousing methodologies based on a common set of attributes. Online transaction processing (OLTP) systems are useful for addressing the operational data needs of a firm. However, they are not well suited for supporting decision-support queries or business questions that managers typically need to address. Such questions involve analytics including aggregation, drilldown, and slicing/dicing of data, which are best supported by online analytical processing (OLAP) systems. Data warehouses support OLAP applications by storing and maintaining data in multidimensional format. Data in an OLAP warehouse is extracted and loaded...

...Hoosier Burger should utilize the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodologies to develop and support the organization’s information system. There are four key steps to the SDLC: (1) planning and selection, (2) analysis, (3) design, and (4) implementation and operation. The first phase in the SDLC is when the organization’s total information system needs are analyzed and arranged. The result of this phase is a potential information systems project is identified. The systems analyst prioritizes and translates the needs of Hoosier Burger and translates the needs into a written plan. The fact of the matter is that Hoosier Burger is processing business by a method of paper-based system, suggesting a valid argument for continuing with the SDLC approach. Systems analysis, the second phase, is when the analyst will thoroughly study the organization’s current procedures to perform the tasks. The analyst must work with users to determine what the users want from the proposed system. For Hoosier Burger, the tasks are inventory control, customer ordering, and management reporting. The systems analysis phase of SDLC is when an alternative replacement system is proposed. Phase three is systems design. This is when the analyst converts the description of the recommended alternative solution into a logical and then physical system specification. According to Valacich (2009), phase three is when “…you must design all aspects of the system from input and output screens to reports...

...L. Geerts, author of “A Design Science Research Methodology and Its Application to Accounting Information Systems Research,” asserts most of research currently conducted in the accounting information systems (AIS) and information systems (IS) areas focuses on understanding why things work the way they do, also known as “natural science (Geerts, 2011).” The primary goal of the paper was to introduce the design science research methodology (DSRM) into accounting information systems (AIS) literature by discussing the DSRM, applying the DSRM to different AIS design science papers, and then integrating the DSRM as part of the operational AIS literature (Geerts, 2011). “Currently, integration is increasingly needed in the business environment. This need emerges from the efficiency and synergy requirements necessary in a complex and turbulent environment. In other words, integration is needed to facilitate coordination, which is again related to the building of competitive advantage.” (Granlund & Malmi, 2002, p. 305). Detail Geerts’ introduction gives definitions and history of the concept of DSRM and AIS so that the reader may transition along with the article. There is discussion of each methodology giving the history and the science behind it and then he moves into how the application of DSRM was discussed in the AIS area. According to Geerts the DSRM has three objectives and aims at improving the production, presentation, and evaluation of design science research while...

...Agile Methodology Brian Crites System Analysis and Design July 16, 2012 Summer Term B 2012 Professor David A. Ostrowski Agile Methodology is an approach to project management that for the most part is used with software development. Agile Methodology is a very important part of software development. Throughout this paper I intend to discuss what the movement toward agility means for the future of systems analysis and design (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). In the year of 2001 many proponents met in Utah and came to discuss and agree on underlying principles (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). Through this discussion they came up with the “The Agile Manifesto” (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2011). There is very important information listed in the Agile Manifesto as you can see from the information I have provided, according to my textbook, below. “The Manifesto for Agile Software Development Seventeen anarchists agree: We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools. • Working software over comprehensive documentation. • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation. • Responding to change over following a plan. That is, while we value the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. We follow the following principles: • Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and...
